You may choose to provide either business or personally identifiable or “personal” information (such as your name, address, business telephone number and email address) on this website or in the course of our provision of professionals services to you. This notice describes the ways you may provide the information, the types of information you may submit and how Risk & Regulatory Consulting, LLC (collectively, “RRC” “we,” “us” or “our”) may collect, retain and use information.

The types of information we may collect include business information, personal information about you (such as your name, address, telephone number, email address and other information incidental to the provision of professional services to you), or such personal information about other individuals (such as directors, officers and employees of a client or other business relationship, business partners, competitors or customers of clients, or other parties who are individuals). If you wish to attend an RRC sponsored event, including webinars, we may also ask you to provide certain information such as your name, business address, business telephone number and business email address.

We collect and use personal information for the primary purpose of providing our clients with professional services, as well as:

• to establish and manage client relationships, perform our services, and fulfil any legal duties in connection therewith;
• to establish and maintain commercial relationships with clients, suppliers and other third parties, including to administer accounts, collect and process payments, and to fulfil contractual obligations;
• to maintain, develop and manage our document management, knowledge-management systems and similar systems and databases; and
• to understand your needs and determine the suitability of other services we may be able to offer to you.

If at any point you provide us with the personal information of other individuals in the course of our provision of professional services to you, we are relying on you to have obtained – and to maintain – the requisite authority under applicable privacy laws for the disclosure of such personal information to us, and our subsequent collection, use and disclosure of such personal information, including obtaining appropriate consent from such individuals.

When you sign up online to participate in RRC webinars or other RRC sponsored events, we may ask for your name, business mailing address, business telephone number and business email address. We use this information for the purposes of facilitating your participation in the webinar or event and as part of our customer relationship management program.

In addition, from time to time, RRC may also send e-mail or other communications to subscribers, clients or other individuals in our contact database to advise such individuals of developments in consulting and other matters relevant to such individuals or their business or industry; provide them with information about or promotions relating to products and services we believe may be of interest to them, or to advise them of upcoming events.

You may opt-out of receiving such communications at any point by using the opt-out feature included in each email, or by contacting us using the details at XVI.

Please note that RRC clients will continue to receive electronic communications from us relating to our provision of services to them. If required under local law, we may seek your express consent to send you marketing communications.
