05 / Our lawful bases

We process personal information only where we have an appropriate lawful basis under applicable data protection law.

Legitimate interests

We may rely on legitimate interests for proportionate business relationship management, relevant B2B prospect research, permitted professional outreach and protecting our business operations.

Where this basis is used, we consider whether the processing is necessary and whether our interests are appropriately balanced against individual rights and expectations.

Contractual necessity

Where applicable, information may be processed to perform a contract with an individual or take steps at their request before entering into one.

Legal obligations

We may process information where necessary to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting or record-keeping requirements.

Consent

Where consent is required, we will seek appropriate consent and provide a way to withdraw it.

06 / Business communications

JDOP may contact relevant business representatives about services that relate to their professional responsibilities or their organisation's potential requirements.

Such communications are subject to applicable data protection and electronic marketing rules.

We do not treat the public availability of contact details as unrestricted permission to use them for marketing.

You have the right to object to processing of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.

To object or ask not to receive further marketing communications, contact privacy@jdopartners.com . We will respect your objection and may retain limited information necessary to ensure you are not contacted again.

07 / Sharing information

Where necessary, personal information may be shared with service providers supporting our website, email, business administration, information storage, research and service delivery.

Information may also be shared with professional advisers, authorities or other parties where required by law or necessary for legitimate business purposes.

We assess appropriate safeguards and contractual arrangements when using service providers to process personal information on our behalf.

08 / International data transfers

Some technology or service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where a restricted international transfer takes place, we will apply an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism, such as applicable UK adequacy arrangements or approved contractual safeguards, as required.

You may contact us for information about safeguards relevant to your personal data.

09 / Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Retention decisions take into account the nature of the information, the business relationship, whether a prospective relationship remains relevant, legal obligations and whether continued retention is proportionate.

Information that is inaccurate, unnecessary or no longer relevant will be reviewed and deleted or anonymised as appropriate.

10 / Security

We use organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, loss or disclosure.

Measures are selected according to the sensitivity of the information, the systems involved and the risks associated with the processing.
