This covers accounting, taxation, anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) checks, and responding to authorities. The legal basis is a legal obligation.
Sending marketing communications:
Examples include newsletters and event updates. The legal basis is consent (opt-in).
Sending invitations:
For example, invitations to yacht shows. The legal basis is the legitimate interest of the company in informing contacts about events it organizes or participates in, particularly in B2B relationships.

• Partners for joint events or marketing where you have consented.
All third-party processors are bound by confidentiality and data-processing agreements ensuring compliance with Monaco Law 1.565 and, where applicable, the GDPR.

6. International transfers
Given our international operations, your data may be transferred to recipients located outside Monaco or the European Economic Area.
In such cases, we ensure an adequate level of protection by:
• relying on adequacy decisions recognised by the Monaco APDP or the European Commission, or
• implementing Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards approved by the APDP and the European Commission.

7. How long we retain your data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and to meet legal or contractual obligations.
Typical retention periods:
• Client and transaction data: 10 years after the end of the contractual relationship (for legal/accounting purposes).
• Marketing contacts: 7 years from the last interaction unless you withdraw consent sooner.
• Staﬀ and HR data: according to statutory retention requirements.
Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted from digital and paper supports.

• secure servers, encryption, and firewalls;
• access controls and confidentiality agreements;
• staﬀ training and incident-response procedures;
• due-diligence and contractual controls with service providers.
If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify the APDP and, where required, you as the data subject.
