3. Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal information:

• Contact information: name, email address, telephone number and organisation.
• Enquiry information: information you choose to include in a contact form or email, including details about your business, investment interests or proposed transaction.
• Business correspondence: information contained in communications and subsequent discussions with us.
• Technical information: certain information may be collected automatically when you visit the website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and access dates, subject to the website’s technical configuration and applicable cookie rules.

Please do not submit confidential commercial, financial or personal information through the website contact form unless it is necessary for your initial enquiry. The website contact form should not be treated as a secure document-transfer facility.

4. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and requests for information.
• Assess potential business, advisory and investment opportunities.
• Communicate with business owners, investors, professional advisers and other relevant parties.
• Establish and maintain business relationships.
• Operate, maintain and improve our website.
• Protect the website, prevent misuse and maintain its security.
• Meet applicable legal, regulatory and record-keeping obligations.

We do not sell personal information or use website enquiries for unrelated third-party marketing.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests: to respond to business enquiries, assess potential opportunities, maintain professional relationships, protect our website and conduct our business, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Pre-contractual steps: where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a business or professional engagement.
• Legal obligations: where processing is required to comply with applicable laws or regulatory requirements.
• Consent: where you have expressly consented to a particular use of your personal information, such as optional cookies or marketing communications where applicable.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

6. Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.

We may share information where reasonably necessary with:

• Professional advisers, consultants and service providers supporting our business.
• Website hosting, email, security and technical service providers.
• Other parties where this is necessary to assess or progress a business opportunity, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements and, where required, your consent.
• Government authorities, regulators or other parties where disclosure is required by law.

Where service providers process personal information on our behalf, we expect them to protect that information and use it only for authorised purposes.

7. International Transfers

Madjarian+Associates operates internationally. Personal information may therefore be processed or accessed in countries outside the country in which it was originally collected, including Canada and other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate.

Where the GDPR applies and personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we will ensure that an appropriate legal transfer mechanism and safeguards are in place where required by law.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining business relationships, assessing opportunities and meeting legal or regulatory obligations.

The retention period will depend on the nature of the information and the circumstances of the enquiry or business relationship. Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymised, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.

9. Your Data Protection Rights

Where the GDPR applies, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request erasure of your personal information in certain circumstances.
• Request restriction of processing.
• Object to certain types of processing.
• Request data portability, where applicable.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

In Spain, complaints may be submitted to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos – AEPD).

To exercise your rights, contact us at info@madjarian.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

10. Website Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the internet.

11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for its operation, security and functionality. Other cookies, including analytics or marketing cookies, may be used only where appropriate consent has been obtained.

Further information about the cookies used on this website, their purposes and how to manage your preferences will be provided in our Cookie Policy and cookie settings, where applicable.

12. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of those websites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before providing personal information.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, website or applicable legal requirements. The latest version will be published on this page with its revision date.
