What we do with the information we gather
We only obtain, use, and keep personal data where we need it for a specific purpose. We are only able to use your personal data if we have a proper legal basis so that your privacy is protected.
We will use your information in the following ways:
> We have a contract with you (for example, we have agreed to provide regulatory services for you and have a contractual agreement to do this).
> We have a legitimate interest in processing the information and your interests and fundamental right do not override those interests (for example, improving our service or providing you with information about relevant products).

We will only use your personal data for the reason for which we collected it. We will only use it for another reason if we believe that new reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we do need to use your personal data for a non-related purpose, we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Marketing
We may use your personal data to send you communications if we believe we have a ‘legitimate interest’. We may consider that we have a legitimate interest in contacting you about our products or services but will only do so if we determine it meets this criteria and would be of interest or beneficial for you. You may opt out of this at any time by telling us, or if we have contacted you via email, you will be given an option to opt out by clicking the relevant email link.
You are free to change your mind at any time
Whenever you are asked to fill in a form on the website, look for the box that you can click to indicate that you do not want the information to be used by anybody for direct marketing purposes.

Linked websites
Our website may contain links to other websites. If you use these links to leave our website, you should note that we do not have any control over these websites.

Storing your information
If we have a contract with you, we need to keep your current personal data to fulfil our contract. We need to comply with EU and UK law, which often requires us to keep certain records – including certain personal data – for several years. Our policy is to keep records regarding our engagements for a reasonable period after you are no longer a client, and will ensure these safely destroyed if we no longer need to retain them. Where we have a non-contractual relationship with you, we will retain your contact information for as long as you would like us to, and we will give you the option to unsubscribe from marketing communications.
What countries we transfer data to
As an international firm, we cannot limit our processing of an individual’s personal data to the country in which that individual is based. While providing our services, we may need to transfer personal data to locations outside the jurisdiction in which you provide it or where you are viewing our website. Regardless of the location of processing, we will impose the same data protection safeguards that we deploy inside the UK/EU and implement appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data is protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
