5A. Business Contact Data for Marketing

Queen’s Tower Advisory Limited collects and processes business contact details of senior decision-makers at private equity firms, their portfolio companies, and other corporate entities for the purpose of introducing our advisory services where relevant to your professional role.

What we collect: name, work email address, job title and employer, and standard email engagement information (delivery, open and click events). We do not process special category data for this purpose.

Where we obtain it: publicly available professional and corporate sources (including company websites, regulatory filings, and professional networking profiles you have published in a professional capacity); industry events and conferences where attendee details have been made available to us with disclosure; licensed third-party business data providers who warrant UK GDPR-compliant collection; and our existing client and prospect records.

Why and on what legal basis: to introduce our advisory services to senior professionals in connection with potential corporate transactions and related matters. The legal basis is our legitimate interests in the development of our advisory practice under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR, balanced against your rights and reasonable expectations as a senior business professional contacted in your professional capacity. We have documented this balancing assessment, which is available on request to info@queenstower.com.

How long we keep it: a maximum of 24 months from the date of our most recent meaningful engagement with you (including your engagement with any communication from us), after which it is deleted or anonymised, unless retained solely on our permanent suppression list to honour an opt-out.

Your rights: every marketing email we send contains a one-click unsubscribe link, which is honoured immediately and permanently. You may also exercise the rights set out in Section 10 (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability) by contacting info@queenstower.com. We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

• Consent – where you’ve explicitly agreed.
• Contractual necessity – to fulfil our obligations to you.
• Legitimate interests – to run our business efficiently and securely.

7. Who We Share Data With

• Trusted service providers (e.g., IT support, cloud providers) under strict confidentiality.
