Data Collection & Processing
The types of data we may collect about you mainly depends on the relation that we have with you, meaning whether you are one of our clients (or a prospective client), a browser of our website or a recipient of our news and insights via email.
This data may include your personal and contact details that you voluntarily provide to us, for example when you contact us, sign up to our mailings list, submit an application to work with us, when you are a contractor or a supplier to us, when you visit our offices, and when you exercise any of your rights in accordance with the applicable privacy laws.
In the case that you are a client of ours, or a prospective client, the data we collect focuses on information which is necessary for performing the services you have requested from us, including the performance of our contractual obligations to you, or required to be collected for the purposes of our compliance with any legal, regulatory, contractual, tax, accounting or reporting requirements, such as data collected during our background checks to accept you as a client in accordance with the applicable Know-Your-Client (KYC) and anti-money laundering procedures, or your details relating to the payment of our invoices. We also use your personal data in our correspondence with you, which may relate to the services we provide to you or to services which we consider of interest to you, or to ensure that our records are kept accurate and up-to-date, and to ensure your safety and security when you visit our offices.
In the case that you submit an application to work with us, you will voluntarily be providing us with documents necessary to process your application, the most important being your curriculum vitae, which typically includes your contact details, employment history, educational background and references, along with any other information you choose to share with us in order to assess the particular candidate.
In the case that you subscribe to hear from us (i.e., subscribe to our mailings list), you provide us with your consent to collect and use your personal data which relates to your marketing preferences, including your contact details in order for us to contact you via your preferred communication method.

Data Retention
We will retain any personal data collected for as long as reasonably necessary based on the purposes for which it was collected as may be applicable in each case, for example, as long as we continue to provide you and/or your business with our services, assess your application to work with us, for the purposes of our compliance with any legal, regulatory, contractual, tax, accounting or reporting requirements, as well as for as long as we continue to have your consent to retain and process your personal data, for example, by continuing to be subscribed to our mailings recipients list. We may retain your personal data for a longer period of time in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we collect and process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

We rely on third-party service providers to perform a variety of services on our behalf, such as website hosting, electronic message delivery and payment processing. This may mean that we have to share your personal data with these third parties. When we share your personal data in this way, we put in place appropriate measures to make sure that our service providers keep your personal data secure.
Other situations in which we may disclose your personal data to a third party, are the following: where permitted by law, to protect and defend our rights and property; to fulfil our contractual obligations to you in respect of the services you have requested us to provide to you for example with regard to various outsourced services; and when required by law and/or competent public authorities.
