Some of our external third parties are based outside the UK, particularly in Thailand and the UAE where we facilitate property investments.

The country has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK government.

We use specific contractual clauses approved by the UK government which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. These measures include:

Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS technology.

Access controls and authentication procedures for our systems.

Regular security assessments and penetration testing.

Staff training on data protection and confidentiality.

We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and applicable legal requirements.

In general, we retain client records for a minimum of 6 years after the end of our business relationship, in line with HMRC and professional body requirements.
