For the purposes of UK data protection law, Antares Consultancy is the controller of the personal information described in this Privacy Policy.

Some information is collected directly from you, while other information may be collected automatically when you use our website or provided to us by service providers and other third parties.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We may use your personal information for the following purposes:

Lawful Bases for Processing

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal information. Depending on the circumstances and the purpose for which we use your information, we may rely on:

  • Contract — where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

  • Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests or those of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. This may include managing client relationships, improving our Services, maintaining the security of our website and communicating with business contacts.

  • Consent — where you have given us permission to process your information for a particular purpose. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

  • Legal obligation — where processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

The lawful basis we rely on will depend on the particular purpose for which your personal information is being processed.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our website, understand how visitors use it and, where applicable, support analytics and marketing.

Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can manage your cookie preferences using the cookie controls available on our website.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to third parties where reasonably necessary to provide our Services, operate our business or comply with our legal obligations.

These may include:

  • IT, website hosting and technology providers;

  • analytics and website performance providers;

  • professional advisers, such as accountants, lawyers and insurers;

  • marketing and communications providers;

  • suppliers and contractors who provide services to us;

  • government bodies, regulators, law enforcement agencies or other parties where required by law; and

  • parties involved in a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of our business.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we require them to handle that information appropriately and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Third-Party Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of those third parties.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you use.

International Transfers

Some of our service providers may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we take appropriate steps to ensure that it receives an adequate level of protection in accordance with applicable data protection law.

This may include transferring information to countries recognised by the UK as providing an adequate level of data protection or using appropriate safeguards, such as approved contractual protections.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing our Services, maintaining business and client records and complying with legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

The length of time we retain information will depend on factors including the nature of the information, why it was collected, whether we have an ongoing relationship with you and whether we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory reasons.

When personal information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it where appropriate.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
