Privacy notice.

Oakley Beaumont is responsible for personal information collected through this website and in connection with enquiries made to the company. Questions or requests about personal information can be submitted through the Contact page.

We may collect:

• Contact details, including name, company, job title, email address and telephone number
• The content of an enquiry and any documents or information supplied with it
• Records of meetings, correspondence and business discussions
• Information relevant to an advisory engagement, investment opportunity or potential acquisition
• Limited technical information generated when the website is used, such as device, browser, security and server-log data

Please do not provide sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and has been requested.

Personal information may be used to:

• Respond to enquiries and arrange discussions
• Assess a potential advisory engagement, investment or acquisition
• Deliver agreed services and manage the business relationship
• Undertake appropriate due diligence and protect legitimate business interests
• Maintain security, prevent misuse and operate the website
• Meet legal, regulatory, accounting and record-keeping obligations

Depending on the context, we rely on legitimate interests, steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations and, where appropriate, consent. Our legitimate interests include responding to business enquiries, evaluating opportunities, delivering services and protecting the company and its systems.

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only where reasonably necessary with trusted service providers, professional advisers, counterparties or authorities. This may include providers supporting hosting, communications, scheduling, document storage, security, legal, tax, accounting or transaction due diligence. Recipients are expected to use information only for the relevant purpose and to protect it appropriately. Where an opportunity or matter is confidential, information will be shared on a need-to-know basis.

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection law.

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, including to manage discussions, deliver services, evaluate opportunities and meet legal or business record-keeping needs. Retention periods vary according to the nature of the information and relationship. Reasonable organisational and technical measures are used to protect personal information. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of or deletion of your personal information; restrict or object to its use; request portability; or withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis. A request can be made through the Contact page. We may need to verify identity before acting on it. You may also raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner's Office. We would welcome the opportunity to address the matter first.

This notice may be updated from time to time. The version published on the website is the version currently in effect.
