4. What personal information do we collect?
Aetos collects and processes the following categories of personal information for the following reasons:
Clients
Information collected: Name, contact details, financial information (e.g. payment details), identification and verification information (e.g. photo IDs), the nature of the consulting sought, and any other contextual information the client provides to obtain consulting services (which may include personal data relating to third parties).
Clients may need (or choose) to provide us with personal information that is considered “sensitive” or “special category data” under applicable data protection laws to obtain certain consulting services (such as personal information relating to an individual’s health, race or ethnicity, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sex life or sexual orientation, genetic data, or biometric data).
We will only collect this information as needed and to provide business guidance and consulting services to our clients.
If clients voluntarily subscribe to marketing communications from Aetos, we will also use their contact details to send those marketing communications.
If we need to process “special category data” to provide consulting services, we will do so only where permitted by data protection regulations – for example, where we have the data subject’s explicit consent or where the data has been manifestly made public by the data subject.

We may disclose the personal information we process:
to third parties who provide services on our behalf, such as IT hosting providers, email providers and/or data backup providers, subject to strict contractual terms that protect the personal information in accordance with data protection law;
to service providers/sub processors that require access to your data for the uses described in this notice or for purposes you have requested. These service providers/sub processors are authorized to use your personal data only as necessary to provide us services. If you interact with service providers through our services, we may facilitate the transfer of your personal data for those services;
to any competent law enforcement, judicial or regulatory authority if we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish, or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of another person;
to a potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any proposed purchase, merger, or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Notice; and
to any other person if the relevant data subject(s) have consented.
6. International transfers of personal information
Aetos is controlled and operated in the United States. If you use our website or provide us with your personal data, you consent to the collection, processing, and transfer of your data in and to the United States.
If you are located outside the United States, you understand that the data you provide to us will be transferred to Aetos in the United States, which may not have privacy and data protection laws equivalent to the country in which you reside. If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the United States, please do not submit any information to us or use our website.
To the extent required by applicable law, Aetos will take measures to protect cross-border transfers of your data.
7. Data retention
We will retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

You have the following data protection rights:
If you wish to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information, you can do so at any time by sending an email to hello@aetos-data.com.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which significantly affects you. Aetos does not ordinarily undertake any such automated decisions.

To opt-out of other forms of marketing (such as postal marketing or telemarketing), then please email hello@aetos-data.com.
Similarly, if we have collected and process your personal information with your consent, then you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in accordance with lawful processing grounds other than consent.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.
We respond to all requests received from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
