The personal data we collect may include:

​

• Identity data such as your name, job title, postal address, including your home address, where you have provided this to us, business address, telephone number, mobile phone number, fax number and email address;

•  Financial data, such as data necessary for processing payments, including credit/debit card numbers, bank account, security code numbers and other related billing information;

​

How is your personal information collected?

​

We may collect personal data about you in a number of circumstances, including:

• When you or your organization seek to cooperate with us or our services;

• When you or your organisation browse, make an enquiry or otherwise interact on our website;

• When you or your organisation offer to provide or provide services to us and/or clients.

•  In some circumstances, we collect personal data about you from a third-party source. For example, we may collect personal data from your organisation, other organisations with whom you have dealings, government agencies, an information or service provider or from a publicly available record.

​

If you fail to provide personal information:

​

As a general principle, you will provide us with your personal data entirely voluntarily; there are generally no detrimental effects for you if you choose not to consent or to provide personal data. However, there are circumstances in which QUIRKK SINGLE MEMBER LTD cannot take action without certain of your personal data, for example because the collection of personal data is required to process with your instructions or orders or to carry out a legally required compliance screening. In these cases, it will unfortunately not be possible for us to provide you with what you request without first obtaining the relevant personal data and we will notify you accordingly.

​

How will we use your personal data?

​

We may use your personal data for the following purposes only (“Permitted Purposes”):

• Providing legal  or other advice or other services or things you may have requested that relate to our offered services;

• Managing and administering your or your organisation’s business relationship with QUIRKK SINGLE MEMBER LTD , including processing payments, accounting, auditing, billing and collection, support services;

• Compliance with our legal obligations (such as record keeping obligations), compliance screening or recording obligations (e.g. for anti-money laundering, financial and credit check and fraud and crime prevention and detection purposes), which may include automated checks of your contact data or other information you provide about your identity against applicable sanctioned-party lists and contacting you to confirm your identity in case of a potential match or recording interaction with you which may be relevant for compliance purposes;

• To analyse and improve our services and communications to you;

• Protecting the security of and managing access to our premises, IT and communication systems, preventing and detecting security threats, fraud or other criminal or malicious activities;

• For insurance purposes;

• For monitoring and assessing compliance with our policies and standards;

• To identify persons authorised to trade on behalf of our clients, customers, suppliers and/or service providers;

• To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations and requests anywhere in the world, including reporting to and/or being audited by national and international regulatory bodies;

• To comply with court orders and exercises and/or defend our legal rights;

• For any purpose related and/or ancillary to any of the above or any other purpose for which your personal data was provided to us.

• Where you have expressly given us your consent, we may process your personal data also for communicating with you through the channels you have approved to keep you up to date on the latest legal developments, announcements, and other information about our services, products and technologies (including client briefings, newsletters and other information) as well as our events and projects.

• With regard to marketing-related communication, we will – where legally required – only provide you with such information after you have opted in and provide you the opportunity to opt out anytime if you do not want to receive further marketing-related communication from us. We will not use your personal data for taking any automated decisions affecting you or creating profiles other than described above.

​​

Depending on for which of the above Permitted Purposes we use your personal data, we may process your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds:

​

• Because processing is necessary for the performance of a client instruction or other contract with you or your organisation;

• To comply with our legal obligations (e.g. for compliance purposes); or

• Because processing is necessary for purposes of our legitimate interest or those of any third party recipients that receive your personal data, provided that such interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

• In addition, the processing may be based on your consent where you have expressly given that to us.

​

If you provide personal data to us about someone else (such as one of your directors or employees, or someone with whom you have business dealings) you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that personal data to us and that, without our taking any further steps, we may collect, use and disclose that personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal data may be kept on our personal data technology systems or in paper files.

​

Up-to-date personal data:

​

If any of the personal data that you have provided to us changes, for example if you change your email address or if you wish to cancel any request you have made of us, or if you become aware we have any inaccurate personal data about you, please let us know by sending an email to info@quirkk.com. We will not be responsible for any losses arising from any inaccurate, inauthentic, deficient or incomplete Personal Data that you provide to us.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the Permitted Purposes or you withdraw your consent in accordance with applicable law (where applicable). We will, in particular, retain your personal data where required for QUIRKK SINGLE MEMBER LTD  to potentially assert or defend against legal claims until the end of the relevant retention period or until the claims in question have been settled or by virtue of obligations that we have under national or European law.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

​

In case of any such changes, we will post the changed Privacy Policy on our website or publish it otherwise. The changes will take effect as soon as they are posted on this website.
