4. Contact forms and email enquiries

If you submit a form through the website, send an email to info@ams.af or contact AMS by phone or WhatsApp, we may use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry.

If the website form uses an external form provider or hosting service, the information submitted may be processed through that provider for the purpose of delivering the enquiry to AMS.

Do not submit highly sensitive, confidential or legally privileged information through the website form unless AMS has specifically requested it and appropriate engagement or confidentiality arrangements are in place.

5. Professional confidentiality

AMS provides professional services that may involve confidential business, financial, tax, audit, payroll, donor, project or governance information.

Where AMS is formally engaged, confidentiality obligations will be governed by the relevant proposal, engagement letter, professional standards, applicable laws and internal confidentiality procedures.

Access to client information is limited to authorised personnel involved in the relevant enquiry or engagement.

6. Cookies and analytics

The AMS website may use basic cookies or analytics tools to understand website performance, visitor behaviour and page usage.

Analytics tools may collect information such as device data, browser data, IP-related technical information and page interaction data. If Google Analytics or similar tools are used, AMS should configure them in a way that avoids sending personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses or phone numbers.

Visitors may be able to manage cookies through browser settings.

If the website later uses advertising pixels, remarketing tools, newsletter tracking, or advanced analytics, this Privacy Policy should be updated and a cookie notice or consent mechanism should be considered where required.

Records related to formal engagements may be retained for longer periods in line with professional, legal, tax, audit or regulatory requirements.

10. Data security

AMS takes reasonable administrative, technical and organisational steps to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
