PRIVACY & DATA PROTECTION

Your data,
handled with care.

A plain-language account of what we collect through our research platform and advisory services, why we collect it, and the control you hold over it at every step.

§01 — WHAT WE COLLECT

Three kinds of data. Nothing hidden.

We gather personal data directly from you, from partners and service providers we work with, and automatically as you use our services.

CONTACT DATA

Who you are

Name, phone, email, address, organization, and professional profiles, collected when you register for a service.

LOG DATA

How you use our site

IP address, device, browser, downloads, and time spent per page — used to keep the experience relevant and reliable.

COMMUNICATION DATA

What we discuss

Records of emails, chats, calls, and video meetings, kept so our team can follow up accurately.

KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

Ready to see what you control?

Access, correct, export, or delete your data — no hoops to jump through.

§02 — HOW IT REACHES US

Four primary channels, in the open.

Data reaches us through a mix of direct input and automated tools — each disclosed below.

01

Website Forms

The name, email, and phone number you actively enter when you sign up for a service.

02

Event Triggers

Page views, time on page, referrer URLs, and form-completion timing that show us how visitors engage.

03

Tracking Tools

Third-party analytics and in-house tools that help us understand usage and improve the site.

04

Cookies

Session and persistent cookies that remember your preferences between visits (see §04).

§03 — HOW WE USE IT

Put simply: to serve you, not to profile you.

  • Deliver the reports, research, or information you've requested.
  • Tell you about related products or services from our group companies and affiliates that may genuinely interest you.
  • Meet the contractual commitments we've made to you.
  • Notify you of changes to our website or services that affect you.
  • Personalize your experience of our site and communications.

We may let carefully selected partners use your data for related offers — you can opt out of that, or anything else, at any time.

§04 — LEGAL BASIS

Every use has a lawful reason behind it.

01

Consent

You've told us it's fine — like opting into marketing emails.

02

Contract

Processing is needed to deliver a service you've requested.

03

Legitimate interest

A reasonable business need, weighed against your rights.

04

Legal obligation

We're required to keep or disclose certain records by law.

§06 — SECURITY AT A GLANCE

Safeguarding data is ongoing, not a checkbox.

No system is perfectly secure, but here's what we hold ourselves to.

§07 — DATA SHARING

We don't sell data. Here's who sees it.

In limited circumstances, your data may be shared with the following — always with a specific, disclosed reason.

SP

Service Providers

Hosting, analytics, and support partners bound by confidentiality obligations.

GC

Group & Affiliates

Our own companies, for the purposes described in §03.

PA

Professional Advisors

Auditors or legal counsel, only where necessary.

AL

Authorities & Legal

Disclosed only if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.

BT

Business Transfers

If we're ever part of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may transfer to the new owner — we'll notify you first, and expect them to honor protections substantially similar to this policy.

§08 — YOUR RIGHTS

Seven controls, always available to you.

Depending on where you're located, some or all of these apply — we honor them wherever we reasonably can.

A

Access

Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

R

Rectification

Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

E

Erasure

Request deletion of your data from our systems.

P

Portability

Receive your data in a usable, transferable format.

O

Opt-out

Withdraw from marketing communications or tracking, any time.

N

Non-discrimination

Exercising any right here won't affect the service you receive.

C

Complain

Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we've mishandled your data.

§09 — MORE TO KNOW

The standard clauses, worth reading anyway.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Data crossing borders

Our services are global, so data may be processed outside your country, including the U.S. — protected by recognized safeguards like standard contractual clauses.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Built for professionals

Our services target business professionals and aren't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Beyond our site

Links to external sites aren't covered by this policy — we'd encourage reviewing their own privacy practices.

DATA RETENTION

Kept only as long as needed

We hold your data for as long as we're providing you a service or have a legal reason to. Once there's no ongoing need, we delete or anonymize it.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

Breach notification

If a security incident compromises your personal data, we'll notify affected users promptly, in line with applicable law.

POLICY UPDATES

We'll tell you before it changes

We'll post material changes here and, where required, email you before they take effect. Continued use after that means you accept the update.

YOUR CONSENT

Given freely, withdrawn just as easily

Using our services means you agree to this policy. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us — we'll stop processing accordingly.

Something to update, correct, or remove?

Reach out and a member of our team will action it directly — no forms buried behind a support ticket.
