This Policy
This Policy sets out what personal data we might collect, how we process and protect that data, the lawful grounds for that processing, and your related rights. We always seek to comply with the data protection laws applicable to our processing of personal data.
‘Personal Data’ is a defined term in the European Union (‘EU’), United Kingdom (‘UK’), and the privacy laws of other jurisdictions. We also use it here to cover ‘personally identifiable information’ or ‘personal information’ as defined in the laws of the United States (‘US’) federal government and its states, as well as other similar legal definitions of this type of data. Essentially ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, namely one who can be identified, directly or indirectly from that information alone or in conjunction with other information. This Policy and our processes are based upon General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) principles, as it is the world-standard for data protection laws, inspiring legal developments around the world, and we operate in many jurisdictions.
Note for Residents of the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom: The EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (‘EU GDPR’) may apply and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the UK e-Privacy Regulations (‘PECR’), and the UK-adopted version of the EU GDPR (‘UK GDPR’) may apply directly to all our processing. Please see the section below titled ‘Your Rights Under GDPR’ for specific details on your rights under applicable law. We use ‘GDPR’ to refer to either the EU or UK version as they’re almost identical.
Note for California Residents: This Policy describes how we process your personal data and your rights and choices over our processing. Please see the Section below titled Your Rights Under California Law for specific details on your rights under California law. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, Cal. Civil Code §1798.100 et seq. and its implementing regulations (‘CCPA’) may apply directly to our processing of Personal Data.
As data protection laws and practice are constantly developing, we will update this policy from time to time, which we’ll do by posting a new policy on the Website that takes effect from the date stated. It is your responsibility to return to the Website from time to time and check for changes.
We have identified eight general categories of processing activities for which we collect Personal Data as part of our operations: Services Delivery Data, S7 ONE Connect Platform Data, Journey Management Data, Diligence/Investigation Report Data, Marketing Data, Website Improvement Data, Technology Collected Data, and Recruiting Data. As defined in the GDPR, we are the ‘controller’ of Marketing Data, Website Improvement Data, Technology Collected Data, and Recruiting Data as we determine the purposes (the ‘why’) and the essential means (the ‘how’) of the collection and processing. We are the ‘processor’ of Service Delivery Data, S7 ONE Connect Platform Data, and Journey Management Data as the client remains the ‘controller’ of this data and we only process it to fulfil our contract with the client and on their instructions. For the Diligence/Investigation Report Data, we may be either a joint ‘controller’ or ‘processor’ as we will both process Personal Data on the instructions of our clients as well as using our discretion to determine the best sources from which to acquire and analyse such information. Each client is responsible for informing these data subjects of the purposes for which their Personal Data is being processed.
How We Collect and Use Your Personal Data
We collect or are provided personal data in the normal course of business. Provision of personal data to us is never a requirement, however if you do not provide us with the personal data necessary for us to carry out an action at your request or under a contract with or relating to you, for example to respond to your query or provide Services to you, we may not be able to respond to your query or provide Services to you.
Some privacy laws such as the CCPA require that we disclose this data by certain category types collected in the past 12 months. The table below lists those types.
We use personal data in the normal course of our business, including to provide, secure, manage and improve our Services and to meet any binding contractual or legal obligations. Some privacy laws such as GDPR require that we disclose to you the purpose and lawful basis for collecting this data and we do so in the table below. In most cases, the lawful ground (or legal basis) for our processing will be that the processing is necessary: (i) for our legitimate interests in carrying out our business, including to maintain, improve and market our products and services, provided those interests are not outweighed by your rights and interests (‘Legitimate Interests’), (ii) to perform a contract with you (‘Contract’), or (iii) to comply with our legal obligations (‘Legal Obligation’).
Where processing is based on your consent (‘Consent’), we will identify the processing purposes and provide you with relevant information to make the processing fair and transparent when we ask for your consent. When you provide us with personal data about yourself or another person, for example a colleague or a contact, you are confirming to us that you have their consent or are otherwise authorised to provide us with that information and that any personal data you give us is accurate and up-to-date.
Most privacy laws require that we disclose to you whether we sell or share your data with third parties and allow you to opt out of this practice, if and when we do. We will not give, sell or rent your personal data to third parties so they can market their services to you. We also do not accept advertising from third parties on the Website. However, we may share personal data in the limited circumstances described below or to comply with a law, order or request of a competent legal or regulatory authority or if we enter negotiations with a third party for the sale or purchase of all or part of our business. When we share your personal data, we have written contracts in place incorporating relevant wording to safeguard that personal data and comply with applicable laws, and we will only share such data as is necessary for the purpose in question.

Special Categories and Protected Classifications of Personal Data
Except for the circumstances when you provide educational information or we conduct a background check as part of Recruitment Data or as described below for Diligence/Investigations Report Data, Duty-of-Care Services Data or Journey Management Services Data, we do not collect or otherwise ask for ‘special categories of personal data’ as referred to by GDPR or ‘protected classifications characteristics’ as often referred to by California or other US laws. These classifications are identified in Table 1.
However, if at any time you choose to transmit such personal data over our Website or Services for any reason, or you provide us such personal data to us as part of Recruitment Data, you must have full authority or consent to do so and you agree that it will be dealt with according to this Privacy Policy, including possible transfer to our offices or the third parties, inside or outside the UK or EEA, as described in this policy.
With regard to Diligence/Investigation Report Data, we collect ‘special categories of personal data’ as referred to by GDPR or ‘protected classifications characteristics’ as often referred to by California or other US laws. We do this to meet our contractual obligations to clients who are required to conduct diligence to comply with anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, sanctions and other applicable laws and regulations in their country of residence and countries where they conduct business. In addition, clients may be attempting to trace assets related to counter-parties in a court or other judicially mediated dispute under the laws of relevant jurisdiction.
With regard to Duty-of-Care Services and Journey Management Services Data, we collect ‘special categories of personal data’ as referred to by GDPR or ‘protected classifications characteristics’ as often referred to by California or other US laws. We do this to meet our contractual obligations to clients who have legal or other obligations to provide appropriate communication and security to their personnel while traveling. Our clients retain full control over the specific data collected and may delegate some control over certain data collection activities to their Travelers.
Financial Data
We do not collect or process any bank, debit or credit card data through our websites or Services.
Electronic Direct Marketing
Where we carry out electronic direct marketing – including phone calls, automated phone calls, emails, SMS and IM – we will comply with applicable laws. This means, for example that we will, where required, check national do-not-call registers and obtain your prior specific and informed consent, particularly where you are acting as a consumer.
Our Website and S7 ONE Platform Location
Please be aware that our Website servers are either located in the United States or, if located in other countries, may be accessed from the United States. The servers that host our S7 ONE Platform are located in Ireland and the United Kingdom, and may be accessed from other countries by our contractors or clients. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country, but please be assured that we take steps to protect your privacy. By using any portion of the Website, you are consenting to the transfer of your personal data to our facilities in the United States and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy. To govern transfers of personal information from the EU/EEA to recipients outside the EU/EEA, we have entered into standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission (“Data Transfer Agreement”) between the companies in the Company Group. We are happy to provide you with a copy of the Data Transfer Agreement upon request.
International Transfers
Our starting position is always to keep personal data within the UK or European Economic Area (‘EEA’) where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies respectively. However, in order to carry out the above purposes, we may use third parties and their facilities outside the EEA. In all such cases we will ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to protect your personal data and a valid legal basis for the transfer applies. To govern transfers of personal information from the EU/EEA to recipients outside the EU/EEA, we have entered into standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission (“Data Transfer Agreement”) between the companies in the Company Group. We are happy to provide you with a copy of the Data Transfer Agreement upon request.
Cookies
Our Website uses cookies and/or similar technologies. Please review our Cookie Declaration, which is part of (and incorporated into) this Privacy Policy for more information, including on how to refuse or selectively accept cookies and/or similar technologies.
Retention
As a default position, we will only retain personal data for any statutory retention period, then a reasonable period (if any) necessary for the above purposes. This is subject, for example, to any valid opt-out or withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent, or other valid exercise of your data subject rights. Please note that our clients determine the retention period for the S7 ONE CONNECT Platform data, unless there is an overriding statutory retention period in an emergency response situation. Please note that our Diligence/Investigations Report Data will be retained for as long as the information is relevant to the delivery of Services to our clients and as long as our overriding legitimate interest exists. Please contact us for further details of applicable retention periods.
Security
The security of data is very important to our business. In accordance with our legal obligations, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data and keep those measures under review. However, we can only be responsible for systems that we control, and we would note that the internet itself is not inherently a secure environment.
Anonymised data
We may create anonymised data from personal data, and any anonymisation would be carried out in accordance with applicable law as well as relevant guidelines from regulators such as the UK Information Commissioner (‘UK ICO’). Anonymisation may, for example, be achieved by aggregating data to the point that no individual can be identified such as aggregating website use statistics to see which web content is working well and which could be improved. Anonymised data does not allow for the identification of any individual person and, as it is no longer personal data, neither data protection laws nor this Privacy Policy would apply to such data.
Third Party Services
If you access the services of another provider through our Websites or services, for example through a link on the Website, your use of those services is entirely at your risk and governed by the terms and privacy policy of that third party provider. If we resell a service delivered or provided by a third party (‘Third Party Service’), including any software that is delivered or owned by a third party (‘Third Party Software’), it is that third party’s separate privacy policy that will apply to your personal data and your use of the Third Party Service and Third Party Software. Your use of a Third Party Service is not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please therefore review the privacy policy for any Third Party Service and Third Party Software before using it.

Under the UK and EU GDPRs, you have the following rights (some of which may be subject to conditions set out in the relevant GDPR):
