Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Cleargate Partnership collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you access our website, make an enquiry or engage with us in connection with our advisory services.
Cleargate operates as a private advisory platform. We are committed to handling personal information responsibly, discreetly and in accordance with applicable data protection laws across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you choose to provide when contacting us, submitting an enquiry or engaging in correspondence. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, company name, country of residence and any additional information relevant to your enquiry.

We may also collect limited technical data automatically when you visit our website. This can include IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and referring URLs. This information is used solely to maintain functionality, performance and security of the website. Sensitive personal data is not collected unless strictly necessary and only where required as part of formal onboarding or compliance processes conducted by licensed third-party providers.

Use of Information
Personal information is used in a controlled and proportionate manner to support the delivery of our services. This includes responding to enquiries, providing information, preparing tailored proposals and coordinating introductions to licensed service providers. It may also be used to meet legal, regulatory or contractual obligations, as well as to maintain and improve website performance and security.
Cleargate does not sell, rent or trade personal data under any circumstances.

Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable, personal data is processed on the basis of consent, the performance of pre-contractual or contractual steps, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate business interests that do not override your rights and freedoms.

Third-Party Service Providers
Cleargate acts in a coordinating capacity. Certain services, including company formation, registered office provision, company secretarial support, banking coordination and compliance checks, are delivered by licensed and regulated third-party providers. Where necessary, personal information is shared with these providers strictly for the purpose of delivering the requested services and meeting regulatory requirements. All providers are expected to operate in accordance with applicable data protection and confidentiality standards. Once you engage directly with a third-party provider, their own privacy policies and practices will apply.

International Data Transfers
Due to the nature of our work, personal information may be processed across multiple jurisdictions. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are applied to ensure that data is handled in accordance with recognised data protection standards.

Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with legal, regulatory and contractual obligations. When no longer required, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure. While no system can guarantee absolute security, Cleargate applies recognised industry standards and reviews its practices on an ongoing basis.

Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights in relation to your personal data. These may include the right to request access, correction or deletion of your data, as well as the right to object to or restrict certain processing activities. Requests can be made using the contact details provided below.

Cookies
Our website may use essential and analytical cookies to support functionality and improve user experience. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, although this may affect certain aspects of website performance.

Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in law, regulation or operational practice. The most current version will always be available on this page.
