2. What data we collect

We may process personal data you provide directly, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number (if provided)
• LinkedIn profile URL (if provided)
• Message content and any information you choose to share
• Documents you upload (for example, a CV or role specification)

We also receive limited technical information when you visit the site (for example, IP address, browser type, and access timestamps) through standard server logs for security and operational purposes.

3. Why we process data (purposes)

• To respond to enquiries and communicate with you
• To evaluate potential search mandates and role requirements
• To deliver executive search services (clients and candidates)
• To maintain confidentiality, quality control, and record-keeping
• To protect the site, prevent abuse, and maintain security

4. Legal bases (GDPR)

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests – to operate and grow our business, respond to enquiries, and deliver search services in a confidential manner
• Contract – where processing is necessary to perform a contract or take steps prior to entering into a contract
• Consent – where explicitly requested (for example, where required for certain communications)
• Legal obligation – where we must comply with applicable laws

5. Confidentiality and sensitive information

Executive search often involves confidential information. Please do not send special category data (for example, health information) unless it is necessary and you choose to do so. We treat enquiries and submissions as confidential and limit access to authorised personnel only.

6. Sharing and recipients

We do not sell personal data. We may share data only where necessary, including:

• With clients, strictly where relevant and typically only after alignment with the candidate or where appropriate for a mandate
• With service providers that support website and email operations (acting as processors)
• With professional advisors (legal, accounting) where required
• Where required by law or to protect rights and security

7. International transfers

Your data may be processed in countries outside your place of residence depending on where our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (for example, contractual protections) to help ensure an adequate level of protection.

8. Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including to manage enquiries, maintain business records, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods vary depending on context (client mandate vs. general enquiry).

9. Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights including:

• Access to your personal data
• Correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Deletion (in certain circumstances)
• Restriction of processing
• Data portability
• Objection to processing (including to direct marketing, where applicable)
• Withdrawal of consent (where processing is based on consent)

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