General Data Protection Policy, if appropriate |
Article 5 |
Yes |
The personal data we hold is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed. We take every reasonable step to ensure that the data we hold is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, and that any personal data that is inaccurate is either erased or rectified without delay. We process all personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We do not transfer any personal data cross-border. As a client or a prospective client of Black&Callow, as Data Controller we use personal data for legitimate interests: to be able to provide our services, and to target prospective clients whom we have identified as being likely to use our services. For example, we would use personal data to be able to communicate with our clients by telephone or email, to provide estimates, to supply services, and to maintain relationships so as to build a sustainable business. Personal information is stored securely, is not shared with any other party, and in all cases personal data subjects have rights as outlined below. |
We process all personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. As a Data Processor, we will only use data supplied to us by our clients (data controllers) or their advisors, such as Company Registrars, specifically for the purpose instructed to us by that client or advisor. For example, we would use personal data such as shareholder names and addresses provided to us by a Company Registrar to personalise and mail a letter or a form to shareholders (data subjects) as part of a capital markets or merger transaction. Some mailings may involve the use of more extensive personal data, for instance to help calculate an allotment of shares, so as to be able to personalise that information on a form. In all cases where we process such data on behalf of our clients, it is the obligation of the client or data controller to obtain any and all necessary consent to use the data subjects’ personal data. Such personal data is stored securely, is retained for the duration of the project for which it has been provided, is not shared with any other party, is not used by ourselves in any other capacity, and is securely deleted after the project has finished as part of a scheduled data destruction campaign. |
