In such circumstances we will not disclose any information which can identify you personally.

International transfers

Whenever we transfer your Information outside of the UK, we will take all reasonably practicable measures to protect your Information in accordance with this Policy and applicable laws. Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK. Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism(s) used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

Third party websites

The Phoenix Court Group Website may feature links to third party websites or social media channels such as Instagram, X, LinkedIn or others that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, online services or mobile applications. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this Policy.

We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services or applications that may be linked to or from the Phoenix Court Group Website. You should review the policies of such third parties and contact them directly if you have any related questions.

For how long do we retain your information?

We will only keep your Information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax law, accounting requirements or other legal or regulatory requirements).

When we have no ongoing Business Purpose to justify the processing of your Information, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How do we keep your Information safe?

We aim to protect your Information through a system of organisational and technical security measures. For example, we store your personal data on secure servers and company data is stored on separate secure encrypted disks when not in use.

However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the Internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will use our reasonable endeavours to protect your Information, we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of personal information that is transferred from you or to you via the Internet. Transmission of personal information to and from the Phoenix Court Group Website is therefore at your own risk.

Your consent to processing

You will be required to give Consent to certain processing activities before we can process your Information.

If you have previously given your Consent you may freely withdraw such Consent at any time, but please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing that occurred before the withdrawal of such Consent.

You can withdraw consent to this by emailing legal@localglobe.vc or, where applicable, clicking the ‘Unsubscribe’ button that appears in mailing list communications.

If you withdraw your Consent, and if we do not have another legal basis for processing your Information, then we will stop processing your Information. If we do have another legal basis for processing your Information, then we may continue to do so subject to your legal rights.
