As this is necessary in pursuit of our legitimate interests in maintaining a current list of prospective and active clients, and this includes profiling related to business needs and opportunities.

We’ve also implemented protections for your rights by maintaining multiple technical standards and business processes, including ISO 9001, ISO 27001, multi-factor authentication, encryption, and password protection. The benefits of our legitimate interests outweigh the risk of data protection where the data at issue is publicly available contact information of companies, whose unlikely unauthorised access would result in minimal, if any, harm or damage. You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on legitimate interests. More information on this right, and on how to exercise it, is set out below.
If you notify us of any health or disability requirements, then this may involve the processing of more detailed personal data including sensitive data such as health information that you or others provide about you.

More information on this right and how to exercise it is set out below.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE US WITH THE INFORMATION WE REQUEST OR ASK THAT WE STOP PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION?
We have statutory obligations under tax laws of the US and UK that require us to process your information if you are a client or former client.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal consequences for you or similarly significant effects.

All information you provide to us is either stored on SharePoint On-Line, One Drive for Business, or Dynamics 365 for Sales (formerly CRM). Data is stored on these by region and access rights are also assigned based on region. Accordingly, data collected in the UK or EEA will be confined to access rights by our location in the UK. The only exception to this is executive-level access, which is used to ensure appropriate data management procedures or resolve technical issues.
As a rule, we do not transfer personal data out of the EEA. However, in exceptional cases, data may be accessed by group company members in other regions (typically, the United States) to ensure proper data management or to assist in data migration. We will execute a data transfer agreement with you if this exceptional case applies.
Where possible, we try to only process your information within the UK and European Economic Area (EEA). If we or our service providers transfer personal data outside of the UK or EEA, we always require that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the information when it is processed. Part of our executive, sales, and implementation teams are based in the United States. We have put in place safeguards to protect personal data processed in or accessed from the United States. You can obtain a copy of the safeguards in place for such transfers by contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Notice.
HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA SECURE?
We ensure the security of your personal data by maintaining ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, multi-factor authentication, encryption, firewalls, and password protection.
