• If we collect or receive your personal information in the context of our provision of projects, products and services we might receive information from third parties such as your employer, other parties relevant to the services we are providing (e.g. counterparties in transactions) and others such as regulators and authorities. That information could include your name, contact details, employment details and other information relevant to the services that we are providing to partners / clients.

Grounds for using your personal information

We rely on the following legal grounds to process your personal information, namely:

• Consent– we may (but usually do not) need your consent to use your personal information. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw your consent by contacting us (see below).
• Performance of a contract– we may need to collect and use your personal information to enter into a contract with you or to perform our obligations under a contract with you.
• Legitimate interest– we may use your personal information for our legitimate interests, some examples of which are given above.

How we share information with third parties

We share personal information with our data processors, such as accounting software platform, payroll bureau, email platform, shared server, online file server, website provider, property managers and third parties providing services to us. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to locations outside Europe as well as within it for the purposes described above.

Where we transfer your personal information outside Europe, we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements applicable to the information. This can be done in a number of different ways, for instance:

• the country to which we send the personal information may be approved by the European Commission
• the recipient may have signed a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your personal information, or
• where the recipient is located in the US, it may be a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme.

In other circumstances, the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your personal information outside Europe. In all cases, however, any transfer of your personal information will be compliant with applicable data protection law.

You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal information when it is transferred outside Europe (including a sample copy of the model contractual clauses) by contacting us using the details set out below.

Keeping your information and information security

How long we hold your personal information for will vary and will depend principally on:

• the purpose for which we are using your personal information – we will need to keep the information for as long as is necessary for the relevant purpose, and
• legal obligations – laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your personal information.

We will ensure that the personal information that we hold is subject to appropriate security measures.
