The Website is a business-to-business site. This notice applies to people who visit the Website, book a call, or contact us by email, usually as representatives of a company or institution.
3. Data we collect
Information you give us when you book a call. We use Calendly to schedule calls. When you book, Calendly collects and passes to us your name, business email address, company name, the time you choose and any answers you give to booking questions.
Information you give us by email. If you email us, we receive your name, email address, any signature details such as role and telephone number, and the content of your message and attachments.
Information from calls. We may take notes during calls about your organisation and its needs. We do not record calls without telling you first.
Technical information. Our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical data, such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, for security and to keep the Website running. We do not use advertising cookies or sell data.
Please do not send us identity documents, account numbers or other sensitive personal data unless we have specifically asked for them as part of an agreed engagement.
4. How we use your data
We use personal data to:
- respond to your enquiries and arrange and hold calls;
- assess whether and how we can help your organisation;
- prepare proposals and, where agreed, deliver our services;
- keep business records and meet our legal and regulatory obligations;
- maintain the security and performance of the Website.
We do not use personal data for automated decision-making that has legal or similar effects on you.
5. Lawful basis
We process personal data on the following bases:
- Legitimate interests: responding to business enquiries, running our business and keeping the Website secure, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Contract: taking steps at your organisation's request before entering into an agreement, and performing that agreement.
- Legal obligation: complying with laws that apply to us, including record-keeping and anti-money laundering requirements.
- Consent: where we ask for it, for example to send you updates. You can withdraw consent at any time.
6. Sharing your data
We share personal data only where needed:
- with service providers that support our business, such as scheduling, email and website hosting providers, under appropriate terms;
- with licensed third-party institutions, such as execution venues and custodians, but only where your organisation has asked us to introduce it and with your knowledge;
- with professional advisers, auditors or authorities where required by law.
We do not sell personal data.
7. International transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries outside the British Virgin Islands. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we take reasonable steps to make sure it is protected to an adequate standard, as required by the Data Protection Act, 2021.
8. Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes above:
- enquiries that do not lead to an engagement: usually up to 24 months after our last contact;
- client and engagement records: for the period required by applicable law and our record-keeping obligations;
- technical logs: for a short period, in line with our hosting provider's standard practice.
We then delete or anonymise the data.
9. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please take care when sending information by email.
