3. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds, as permitted by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws:

• Legal Obligation: When processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g., anti-money laundering regulations).
• Consent: In certain situations, we may rely on your explicit consent for processing specific types of personal data. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when we have your explicit consent to do so.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We regularly review our security practices to ensure that your information remains secure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
