Personal data is not processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes. The amount of personal data processed is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for achieving the purposes for which it is collected. Personal data is retained in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data is processed.

The Company processes personal data for the following purposes:

Conclusion of Contracts and Pre-Contractual Measures

For the purpose of entering into agreements with prospective clients and/or taking steps prior to entering into a contract (including customer identification and verification), the Company processes identification data, financial information, contact details, and other information provided by the data subject.

For the purpose of ensuring accurate responses to enquiries and maintaining records of correspondence, the Company processes the contact details of the person submitting the enquiry (such as email address and telephone number), name, surname, and any other information provided. Where additional documents are submitted together with an enquiry, the Company may review such documents to provide a complete response. We recommend that you do not provide information that is not necessary for handling your enquiry. If additional information is required, a representative of the Company will contact you and specify what information is needed.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

The Company processes your personal data only where there is a lawful basis for doing so, including the following:

Performance of a Contract – where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the Client is a party, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.

Legitimate Interests – where processing is necessary for the purposes of the Company's legitimate interests, provided that such interests are not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms. For example, we may use personal information provided by our Clients in connection with the delivery and improvement of our services, where such processing is not strictly necessary for the performance of a contract.

Compliance with Legal Obligations – where processing is necessary for compliance with legal obligations applicable to the Company, including accounting, tax, anti-money laundering, regulatory, and reporting requirements, or where we are required to provide information to courts, supervisory authorities, or other competent institutions.

Consent – in limited circumstances, we process personal data based on your consent, for example when we are required to obtain your consent in order to send you marketing communications.

We process only such personal data as is necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If you provide inaccurate, incomplete, or insufficient information, we may be unable to provide our services properly or fulfil our legal and contractual obligations.

Collection and Disclosure of Personal Data

We generally collect personal data directly from the data subject when personal data is provided to the Company (either directly or through the Company's partners), as well as from public authorities, official registers, and other lawful sources, to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

The sources of personal data may vary depending on the purpose for which the Company processes the data. However, in all cases, we adhere to the principle of data minimisation and collect only such personal data as is necessary for the relevant purpose.

When processing personal data, we always comply with applicable confidentiality obligations. Such obligations arise under the GDPR, the Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania, the Law on Legal Protection of Personal Data, and other applicable legislation. Personal data may only be disclosed to third parties where permitted by law, where there is a valid legal basis for such disclosure, and only to the extent necessary for the relevant purpose.

Where a data processor acts on behalf of the Company, we take all necessary measures to ensure that the processor has implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures and maintains the confidentiality of personal data.

Sources of Personal Data

Personal data may be obtained from the following sources:

Directly from the data subject, when you contact the Company regarding our services, become our client, submit information electronically, or otherwise provide information to us.

From third parties, public registers, and other lawful sources, where permitted by applicable law, including government registers, public authorities, institutions, other legal entities, and similar sources.

Disclosure of Personal Data

The Company may disclose and/or transfer your personal data only in compliance with applicable legal requirements and confidentiality obligations to the following categories of recipients:

Business partners and service providers involved in the provision of our products and services, such as custodians, banks, and similar institutions. These entities generally act as independent data controllers and are responsible for compliance with applicable data protection requirements. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

Professional service providers and business partners, including IT service providers maintaining our systems, accounting service providers, and similar contractors. Such providers are contractually required to process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. They are obligated to maintain appropriate security measures and may process personal data only for the purposes for which it was collected.

Public authorities and other third parties, where disclosure is required by law or is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, including tax authorities, supervisory authorities, and regulatory bodies such as the Bank of Lithuania.

Law enforcement authorities, courts, bailiffs, notaries, and other competent institutions, where disclosure is required by applicable laws or official requests, including in connection with investigations, legal proceedings, or regulatory requirements.

Other recipients authorised by the Client or otherwise entitled to receive personal data on a lawful basis, including banks, financial institutions, or other parties involved in transactions or contractual arrangements relating to the Client.

Children's Privacy

We do not provide our services directly to individuals under the age of 18 and do not knowingly collect personal data directly from persons under the age of 18.

Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or for such period as required by applicable laws and regulations.

The retention period applicable to personal data depends on the nature of the contractual relationship, the Company's legitimate interests, and/or legal requirements, including statutory limitation periods, civil law provisions, accounting and tax regulations, and other applicable legal obligations.

Where the laws of the Republic of Lithuania do not prescribe a specific retention period for personal data, the Company will determine an appropriate retention period based on the legitimate purpose of processing, the applicable legal basis, and the principles governing the lawful processing of personal data.

Once personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, and where there is no legal obligation to retain it, the data will be securely deleted, anonymised, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
