We only collect personal information that you choose to share with us: for example through email, professional correspondence or in the context of a mandate.

Typical information includes name, company, role, contact details, correspondence content, mandate-related context and any information you choose to provide about a project or situation you would like to discuss.

We process personal data to respond to enquiries, manage professional communications, evaluate possible mandates or collaborations, perform contractual or pre-contractual activities, comply with legal obligations and protect legitimate business interests, including website and information security.

Depending on the context, the legal basis may be legitimate interest, contractual necessity, pre-contractual steps, legal obligation or consent where specifically required.

Personal data may be accessed by authorised internal recipients and by carefully selected service providers that support website hosting, communications, document handling or professional operations, where such access is necessary and proportionate.

We do not sell personal data and we do not use it for unrelated marketing activities.

Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant communication, mandate, legal obligation or legitimate business purpose.

When information is no longer needed, it is deleted, anonymised or otherwise handled in line with appropriate retention practices.

Mandates, names of clients and project details are treated as confidential by default. Information shared with Xegate during a discussion or mandate is not disclosed publicly without explicit authorisation.

Where professional communications, hosting or service providers involve cross-border processing, personal data may be transferred internationally with appropriate contractual, organisational or legal safeguards suited to the context.

Xegate applies proportionate technical and organisational measures intended to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure of information.

These measures may include restricted access, careful vendor selection, secure storage and confidentiality controls appropriate to the nature of the communication or mandate.

This website is designed to operate with minimal use of cookies and similar technologies. At the date of this notice, Xegate does not intentionally use analytics cookies, advertising cookies or profiling cookies on this website.

Strictly necessary local storage may be used to support basic website functions, such as remembering language preferences or other user-requested settings.

Depending on the applicable law, you may have rights of access, rectification, deletion, restriction, portability or objection in relation to your personal data.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Requests regarding data protection may be sent through the contact details provided on this website.
