Confidentiality of Communications
Correspondence addressed to ASCALOR is treated with appropriate confidentiality.
Information submitted through our website or communication channels is used to assess and respond to the relevant enquiry, facilitate professional dialogue or fulfil applicable legal obligations.
Access is restricted to authorised personnel and, where necessary, professional advisers or service providers acting under appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Submission of an enquiry does not establish a contractual, advisory, fiduciary or client relationship with ASCALOR.

Service Providers and Data Recipients
We may engage selected external service providers for website hosting, technical maintenance, information technology, communication and related operational services.
Where such providers process personal data on our behalf, appropriate contractual and organisational safeguards are implemented as required by applicable law.
Personal data may also be disclosed where necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect legitimate interests or facilitate a specifically authorised professional interaction.
We do not sell personal data.
07
International Data Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we take steps to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable data protection requirements.
Depending on the circumstances, appropriate safeguards may include European Commission adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.
08
Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal retention obligations.
Retention periods depend on the nature of the information, the purpose of processing, statutory requirements and the legitimate interests involved.
Once the relevant retention period expires, personal data is deleted or anonymised, unless continued retention is legally justified.
09
Data Security
ASCALOR applies appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, unlawful disclosure, alteration or destruction.
These measures are assessed according to the nature of the information and the risks associated with its processing.
No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be entirely secure.
