6. Our Lawful Bases for Processing
UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following bases.
Legitimate interests
We may process information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
These interests may include:
- responding to enquiries;
- operating and developing our business;
- maintaining relationships with prospective and existing clients;
- understanding interest in our services;
- maintaining appropriate records;
- protecting our systems and website;
- measuring the effectiveness of our services and communications; and
- carrying out appropriate business-to-business marketing where permitted by law.
Consent
We rely on consent where the law requires it, including for certain:
- marketing emails;
- electronic marketing communications; and
- non-essential website cookies and tracking technologies.
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
Contract or steps before entering into a contract
Where appropriate, we may process information because it is necessary to provide something you have requested or to take steps at your request before entering into a contractual relationship.
Legal obligation
We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with applicable laws, court orders, regulatory requirements or other legal obligations.
7. Direct Marketing
We may send information about:
- investment education;
- market commentary;
- articles and reports;
- investment opportunities;
- alternative assets;
- private market opportunities;
- events;
- guides and educational materials; and
- other services provided or introduced by Oros Consultancy.
We only send electronic direct marketing where we have an appropriate lawful basis and where the communication is permitted under applicable electronic marketing laws.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
- your explicit consent;
- a legally permitted existing relationship or soft opt-in; or
- legitimate interests where electronic marketing rules permit their use, including certain business-to-business communications.
Every marketing email sent by us will provide a way for you to unsubscribe.
You may also contact us directly at any time and ask us to stop sending marketing.
Your right to object to direct marketing
You have an absolute right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.
If you tell us that you do not wish to receive direct marketing from us, we will stop using your information for that purpose.
We may retain a minimal suppression record containing sufficient information to ensure that your preference continues to be respected.
8. Lead Generation and Prospective Clients
Oros Consultancy undertakes business development and lead generation activity.
Your information may therefore be processed where you:
- respond to one of our advertisements;
- submit an enquiry;
- download content;
- register for an event;
- interact with one of our campaigns;
- are referred by a partner or introducer; or
- are identified through a legitimate business information source.
Where information has not been obtained directly from you, we will use it only where we have an appropriate lawful basis and where its use complies with applicable direct marketing legislation.
You may object to the use of your information for marketing at any time.
9. Introductions to Commercial Partners
One of Oros Consultancy's services is introducing prospective investors and clients to third-party commercial partners.
Where you ask us to make an introduction or indicate that you wish to receive information from a particular provider or opportunity, we may provide relevant personal information to that organisation.
This may include:
- your name;
- telephone number;
- email address;
- investment interest;
- anticipated investment range;
- relevant investor classification information; and
- other information reasonably necessary to facilitate the introduction.
Once your information has been transferred to an independent third-party organisation, that organisation may become a separate data controller and will be responsible for explaining how it processes your personal information.
You should review the relevant organisation's privacy information before proceeding with it.
We do not give commercial partners unrestricted permission to use your personal information for unrelated purposes.
10. Who We May Share Your Information With
We may share personal information with carefully selected organisations where necessary, including:
- investment providers and commercial partners where you have requested or agreed to an introduction;
- website hosting providers;
- CRM providers;
- email and marketing technology providers;
- cloud and IT service providers;
- analytics providers;
- professional advisers;
- accountants;
- solicitors;
- consultants and contractors working on our behalf;
- event providers;
- regulators, public authorities or law enforcement bodies where required by law; and
- prospective purchasers or advisers in connection with a genuine sale, merger, restructuring or transfer of our business.
Service providers acting on our behalf are expected to handle personal information securely and only for the purposes for which they have been engaged.
We do not sell personal information to third parties for their own unrelated marketing purposes.
11. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files or technologies placed on or accessed from your device that enable websites to function and can provide information about how the website is being used.
We may use:
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to operate correctly and generally do not require consent.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages are viewed and how the website performs.
Functionality cookies
These allow the website to remember preferences or provide enhanced functionality.
Marketing and advertising cookies
These may be used to measure campaigns, understand visitor engagement or provide relevant advertising.
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies will not be activated until you have provided the appropriate consent.
You can change or withdraw your cookie choices through the cookie settings available on our website.
Further information about individual cookies, their providers, purposes and duration should be available through our cookie settings or Cookie Policy.
12. CRM, Analytics and Profiling
We may use CRM and marketing technology to organise our communications and understand the interests of prospective and existing clients.
For example, we may use information concerning:
- articles you have viewed;
- guides you have downloaded;
- emails you have opened;
- links you have selected;
- forms you have completed; and
- opportunities in which you have expressed an interest.
This may allow us to categorise contacts according to their interests and provide more relevant communications.
We do not currently use solely automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects upon individuals.
13. International Transfers
Some of our service providers may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure the transfer is lawful.
Depending on the destination and circumstances, these protections may include:
- UK adequacy regulations;
- the UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
- the UK Addendum to approved contractual clauses; or
- another safeguard recognised under UK data protection law.
You may contact us if you require further information about the safeguards applicable to your information.
14. How Long We Keep Your Information
We do not keep personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary.
The period for which information is retained depends upon:
- why it was collected;
- the nature of our relationship with you;
- whether you remain an active or prospective client;
- the nature of any introduction we have facilitated;
- applicable legal and regulatory requirements;
- our legitimate business record-keeping requirements;
- limitation periods relating to potential legal claims; and
- whether you have asked us not to contact you.
Prospective client and enquiry information is periodically reviewed and may be deleted or anonymised where there has been no meaningful engagement and there is no legitimate reason to retain it.
Records relating to introductions, investor declarations, significant business communications and transactions may be retained for longer where reasonably necessary for compliance, audit or legal purposes.
Where you unsubscribe from marketing, we may retain limited information on a suppression list so that we can continue to honour your request.
Cookie and analytics information is retained in accordance with the applicable provider settings and our cookie controls.
15. Security of Your Information
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:
- unauthorised access;
- accidental loss;
- alteration;
- inappropriate disclosure;
- misuse; and
- destruction.
Measures may include access restrictions, authentication controls, secure technology systems, appropriate staff procedures and contractual protections with service providers.
Access to personal information is limited to those who reasonably require it for legitimate business purposes.
No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore continually review our security arrangements and the service providers we use.
16. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis being relied upon, you may have the following rights.
Right of access
You can ask for confirmation that we process your personal information and request a copy of the information we hold about you.
Right to rectification

Right to erasure
In certain circumstances, you can ask us to delete your personal information.
Right to restrict processing
You may be able to ask us to restrict the way in which your information is processed.

Right to data portability
In certain circumstances, you may ask us to provide personal information you supplied to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Right to withdraw consent
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
You will not normally be required to pay a fee to exercise your data protection rights.
We may need to request sufficient information to verify your identity before responding to a request.
