Privacy Notice

Who this notice covers

This notice applies to visitors, business contacts, Access participants, applicants, Standing Holders, institutional contacts, professionals, contributors and other people whose personal information is handled through UNBOUNDED websites and services.

Information we may collect

Depending on the relationship, information may include name, business contact details, organisation, title, jurisdictions, professional profile, participation preferences, Access requests, Business Requirement metadata, correspondence, account settings, event or Assembly participation, website usage information and records needed to administer an institutional relationship.

Sensitive and confidential information

Do not submit unnecessary confidential, privileged, special-category or highly sensitive information through ordinary public forms. Where a Business Requirement or professional matter requires sensitive information, an appropriate secure channel should be agreed first. UNBOUNDED does not need full matter detail merely to understand an initial business objective.

Why information is used

Information may be used to respond to enquiries; administer Access, My Circuit™, Standing or institutional relationships; route Business Requirements; provide requested communications; maintain records; protect security; improve the website; comply with legal obligations; and manage legitimate institutional operations.

Legal bases and consent

The applicable legal basis depends on the relationship and jurisdiction. Processing may rely on consent, steps requested before a contract, performance of an agreement, legitimate institutional or business interests, legal obligations or other lawful bases. Where consent is required, it can be withdrawn for future processing subject to legal and operational limits.

Sharing and professional independence

Personal information may be shared with UNBOUNDED personnel, service providers and relevant constituent institutions where necessary for the stated purpose. A professional introduction or potential engagement may require information to be shared with an independent firm or professional, but this should occur only where appropriate to the request. Independent professionals then process information under their own legal and professional responsibilities.

International transfers

UNBOUNDED is global. Information may therefore be handled in countries different from the person’s home jurisdiction. Appropriate contractual, organisational or legal safeguards should be used where required by applicable law.

Retention

Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, institutional record, legal obligation, security need, dispute, archive or agreed relationship. Retention periods may differ by record type.

Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent or information about processing. Requests may be subject to identity verification and legal exceptions.

Cookies and analytics

Website technologies are described separately in the Cookie Notice. Users can use available browser and cookie controls to manage non-essential technologies where applicable.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures should be used to protect personal information, but no online system can guarantee absolute security. Users should avoid sending sensitive information through insecure channels.

Contact

Privacy questions or rights requests can be sent through the Contact page or to the published UNBOUNDED privacy contact. Complaints may also be made to an applicable data-protection authority where the law provides that right.
