Contract & Pre-Contract Steps

Legitimate
Interests

Legal Obligations

Consent

Where necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to perform a contract with you, including responding to relevant service enquiries and administering agreed services.

Where necessary for our legitimate business interests, including responding to enquiries, assessing potential business opportunities or introductions, operating and improving our services, maintaining appropriate records, and protecting our business and website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Where processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation that applies to Tapti, including applicable tax, accounting, record-keeping, corporate, regulatory or other legal requirements.

Where we rely on your consent for a specific processing activity, we will use your information for that purpose in accordance with the consent given. Where applicable, you may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Tapti does not sell personal information. We may share personal and business information only where appropriate for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including with service providers, professional advisers, potential business or trade-finance counterparties, and public authorities where required or permitted by law.

1. Operational Service Providers

2. Professional Advisers

We may share information with third-party service providers that support our business operations, such as website hosting, technology, email and communications, data storage, security, administration and other operational services, where appropriate.

We may share information with professional advisers, such as legal advisers, accountants, auditors, tax advisers, insurance advisers or other professional consultants, where reasonably necessary for advice, compliance, dispute resolution or other legitimate business purposes.

3. Trade-Finance Counterparties

4. Public & Regulatory Authorities

Where appropriate for a potential introduction, we may share relevant information with potential providers, financial counterparties or other parties involved in the proposed trade-finance opportunity. We will seek to limit such sharing to information reasonably relevant to assessing or progressing the potential introduction.

We may disclose information to public authorities, courts, law-enforcement agencies, tax authorities, regulators or other competent bodies where required or permitted by applicable law, or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Information Sharing & Counterparty Introductions

Submitting an enquiry or trade-finance requirement does not mean that your information will automatically be shared with potential counterparties. Where a potential business or trade-finance introduction is being considered, relevant information may be shared only where appropriate for assessing or progressing that potential introduction.

Tapti operates internationally, which means personal information may be processed or accessed outside the United Kingdom when working with clients, service providers, professional advisers, or potential business and trade-finance counterparties.

Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer of personal information, Tapti will take appropriate steps designed to ensure that the transfer is handled in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

Tapti retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which it was collected, including meeting any legal, accounting, tax, record-keeping, dispute resolution, or legitimate business requirements.

The retention period will depend on the nature of the information, the purposes for which it is processed and any applicable legal or business requirements. When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will take appropriate steps to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it, subject to any applicable retention requirements.

Tapti takes reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

We take reasonable steps to limit access to personal information, where appropriate, to persons who require it for legitimate business purposes. While we use measures designed to protect personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Under United Kingdom data-protection legislation, individuals possess rights regarding the collection, handling, and storage of their personal data. Depending on the legal basis and specific circumstances of processing, you may exercise these statutory safeguards.

Individual Statutory Rights

Scope & Supervisory Authority

You may have the right to request access to your personal data, seek correction of inaccurate details, or request erasure of personal records. Additionally, you may ask to restrict or object to specific processing activities, or request data portability to transfer information.

Please note that data protection rights are conditional and not absolute; not every right applies automatically in every circumstance or under all processing grounds.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

If you believe your personal data has been processed unfairly or unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the regulatory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom.
