Privacy & Data Protection

01

Who is responsible for your information?

Adamas SL, trading as Adamas Advisors, is the controller of personal information collected through this website.

If a separate Adamas entity becomes responsible for information in connection with a particular engagement, that entity and any engagement-specific terms will be identified separately.

Questions about this notice or the use of your information may be sent to info@adamasadvisors.com.

02

Scope of this notice

This notice applies to visitors to adamasadvisors.com, people who submit an enquiry, people who request a Continuity Report and individuals who otherwise communicate with us through the website.

It does not replace the more detailed confidentiality, data-protection or professional terms that may apply after an advisory relationship begins. A separate privacy notice may be provided where an engagement involves additional categories of information, regulated activity or another controller.

03

Information we collect

Depending upon how you use the website, we may collect:

• Enquiry information: your name, email address, organisation or family office, the nature of your enquiry, your message and your consent choice.
• Continuity Report information: your first name, email address, selected perspective, optional country, the classifications and recommendations used to create your report, and whether you requested a confidential conversation.
• Communications: correspondence and information you provide when we respond to you.
• Technical and security information: internet protocol address, browser and device information, requested pages, date and time, referring page, security events and server logs.
• Consent and preference information: choices made through the cookie banner, consent given at a form and any later withdrawal.
• Optional analytics information: measurements concerning visits and use of the website, collected only when the relevant consent is available.

Please do not send highly sensitive personal, financial, health, identity or security information through the initial enquiry form. If such information becomes necessary, we will arrange an appropriate means of communication.

04

How and why we use personal information

Where we rely upon legitimate interests, we consider the necessity and proportionality of the processing and its effect upon your rights. We do not use information collected through these forms for unrelated direct marketing unless you have separately agreed to receive it.

05

The Adamas Continuity Review

The anonymous assessment is private by design. Your responses to the 48 evidence-based statements and the scoring calculations remain within your browser while you complete the Review. They are not sent to Adamas merely because you begin or complete the assessment.

If you choose to request a personalised PDF, the information required to assemble that report is sent securely to the website for that purpose. A temporary PDF is created, attached to an email and deleted from the website server immediately after the sending attempt. The email and its attachment will remain in the relevant mail systems in accordance with their retention settings.

Adamas receives a minimal record of the request, including your contact details, perspective, country if supplied, the six classification outcomes and whether you asked to be contacted. If you do not ask for a conversation, that information will not be used to pursue you about Adamas services.

The Review uses automated rules to classify the six dimensions and select observations. This takes place for informational purposes and does not produce legal or similarly significant effects. It is not legal, tax, investment or other professional advice.

06

Cookies and analytics

Essential cookies and similar technologies may be used to keep the website secure, remember privacy choices and provide functions you request. Optional analytics technologies, including Google Analytics where enabled, are used only in accordance with your consent choices.

You can accept, reject or change optional cookies through Manage consent. Details of individual technologies, providers and durations appear in our Cookie Policy.

The Continuity Review’s local classification process is not advertising profiling. Our privacy-safe event measurements may record that the Review was started or completed, but they are not intended to record the individual answers you selected.

07

Who receives personal information?

We do not sell personal information. Access is limited to people and providers who need it for a stated purpose. These may include:

• authorised Adamas personnel and, where relevant, an associated Adamas entity;
• website hosting, maintenance, security and email-delivery providers;
• analytics providers, where you have consented to optional analytics;
• professional advisers, insurers, auditors or authorities where disclosure is necessary and lawful; and
• a successor organisation in connection with a genuine restructuring, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection safeguards.

Service providers acting for us are required to use information only for the services they provide and to protect it appropriately.

08

International transfers

Adamas serves clients internationally and some providers or associated entities may be located outside Andorra or the European Economic Area. Andorra is recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data.

Where information is transferred to a country that is not covered by an adequacy decision, we use an appropriate transfer mechanism where required, such as approved standard contractual clauses, together with proportionate contractual, organisational and technical measures. You may ask us for further information about the safeguards relevant to your information.

09

How long we keep information

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking account of legal, security and record-keeping requirements.

• Anonymous Continuity Review answers: not retained by Adamas.
• Temporary report file: deleted from the website server immediately after the email sending attempt.
• Report-only requests: normally deleted or anonymised within 90 days, unless needed to resolve a delivery, security or rights issue.
• Enquiries and requested conversations: normally retained for up to 24 months after the last substantive contact, unless an engagement begins or a longer period is required by law.
• Security and server logs: normally retained for no longer than 90 days, unless a security event requires longer investigation.
• Consent records: retained for as long as necessary to demonstrate and honour the relevant choice.

Information forming part of an advisory engagement is governed by the retention terms applicable to that engagement.

10

Security and confidentiality

We use proportionate technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. These include access controls, secure connections, limited collection, data minimisation and procedures for responding to incidents.

No internet or email system is completely secure. Please use the initial contact form only for the information necessary to begin a conversation.

11

Your data-protection rights

Subject to applicable law and any relevant exemptions, you may have the right to:

• be informed about the use of your personal information;
• obtain access to it and receive a copy;
• have inaccurate or incomplete information corrected;
• ask for information to be erased;
• ask us to restrict its use;
• object to processing based upon legitimate interests;
• receive information you supplied in a portable form where the right applies;
• withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier lawful processing; and
• complain to a competent data-protection authority.

To exercise a right, email info@adamasadvisors.com. We may need to verify your identity and clarify the scope of a request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

12

Children

This website and the Continuity Review are intended for adults acting in a personal or professional capacity. We do not knowingly invite children to provide personal information through the website. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

13

Questions, requests and complaints

Please contact:

You may also complain to the Andorran Data Protection Agency (APDA). If the GDPR applies to your circumstances, you may have the right to complain to the supervisory authority in the EEA country of your habitual residence, place of work or the alleged infringement.
