LEGAL NOTICES

We practice the laws of the British Virgin Islands and Uruguay and do not provide legal or tax advice with respect to any other jurisdiction. Specifically, we do not provide advice under United States law or the law of the State of Florida or any other State of the United States. From our office in the State of Florida, we provide only consulting services, including liaison with U.S. counsel on behalf of our clients. Our attorneys are admitted to practice law only in the jurisdiction(s) noted in their individual biographies. In addition to the above, we provide fiduciary and corporate management services through affiliated entities and/or strategic partners. In particular, we provide company management and authorized representatives services in the British Virgin Islands, certain fiduciary services in New Zealand and the United States of America (Wyoming and South Dakota) and we also have an association with a Cayman Islands law firm. This website contains much information in the form of articles of general applicability or intended as educational and introductory to various areas of the law or legal issues.

 

NONE IS LEGAL ADVICE APPLICABLE TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO LAWYER-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP IS CREATED BY VISITING THIS WEBSITE AND REVIEWING ANY MATERIAL ON IT. YOU ARE NOT JUSTIFIED IN RELYING ON ANY ARTICLE IN MAKING A DECISION ABOUT A SPECIFIC SITUATION; RATHER, YOU SHOULD CONSULT COMPETENT COUNSEL LICENSED IN THE RELEVANT JURISDICTION FOR LEGAL ADVICE OR REPRESENTATION. A PERSON MAY BECOME A CLIENT OF UNTITLED ONLY THROUGH A WRITTEN ENGAGEMENT LETTER BETWEEN THAT PERSON AND THE FIRM, AFTER THE FIRM HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW ITS DATABASE TO ASSURE NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS AND AFTER DECIDING WHETHER THE REPRESENTATION IS APPROPRIATE. Under some interpretations of the legal ethics rules, some material in this website should be considered advertising. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon the information included on this website. Before you decide to hire a lawyer, please ask us to send you written information about our qualifications and experience. The firm’s standard terms and conditions of engagement which apply to all work carried out in the absence of alternative written agreement are available upon request.

Who decides why and how we process your personal data?

Untitled determines why and how we process your personal data. Untitled consists of various entities (the “Untitled Entities”) established in a variety of jurisdictions (such as the British Virgin Islands, Uruguay, New Zealand and the United States). In each case, your personal data will be controlled by the Untitled Entity which you have given instructions to, or with which you are otherwise dealing with or receiving communications from or the Untitled Entity which provides services to a third party which you are associated with, for example a company of which you are a director or shareholder.

 

What personal data might we collect?

We collect different types of personal data for different reasons – this may include:

  • Contact information: Information such as your name, job title, postal address, home address where you provide this to us, business address, telephone number, mobile number, fax number and email address.

How will we share your personal data?

We may share your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • We may share your personal data between the Untitled Entities on a confidential basis where this is required for the purpose of providing legal advice or other products and services, as well as for administrative, billing and other business purposes;
  • If you are an Untitled client, or you are otherwise contracted by, are an agent of, or otherwise represent an Untitled client, we may disclose your personal data to:

  • Law firms for the purpose of obtaining legal advice on your behalf in jurisdictions where we do not practice, as may be relevant;
  • If we have collected your personal data in the course of providing legal services to any of our clients, we may disclose it to that client, and where permitted by law to others for the purpose of providing those services;

  • We may also use aggregated personal data and statistics for the purpose of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop our website and our services.

 

We will otherwise only disclose your personal data when you direct us or give us permission to do so, when we are required by applicable law or regulations or judicial or official request to do so, or as required to investigate actual or suspected fraudulent or criminal activities.

 

Can you refuse to share your personal data with us? 

In general, we receive your personal data where you provide this on a voluntary basis, and there will typically be no detrimental effect for you if you wish not to provide this or otherwise withhold your consent for it to be processed. However, there are certain cases where we will unfortunately be unable to act without receiving such data, for example where we need to carry out legally required compliance screening or require such data to process your instructions or orders, or otherwise to provide you with our online services or communications. Where it is not possible for us to provide you with what you request without the relevant personal data, we will let you know accordingly.

 

How do we keep your personal data safe? 

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to keep your personal data confidential and secure, in accordance with our internal policies and procedures regarding storage of, access to and disclosure of personal data. We may keep your personal data in our electronic systems, in the systems of our contractors, or in paper files.

 

Personal data we receive from you about other people

Where you provide us with the personal data of other people, such as your employees, directors of your companies, or other persons you may have dealings with, you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that personal data to us and furthermore that, without being required to take further steps, we can collect, use and disclose that data in the manner described in this policy. More specifically, you must ensure that the individual whose personal data you are sharing with us is aware of the matters discussed in this Privacy Policy, as these are relevant to that individual, including our identity, how to get in touch with us, the purposes for which we collect data, our disclosure practices, and the rights of the individual in relation to our holding of the data.

 

Transfers of personal data abroad

Untitled is active across the world – this means that we may transfer your personal data abroad if required to do so for the Permitted Purposes. In certain cases, this may include transferring data to countries which do not offer the same level of protection as the laws of your country.

 

How long do we keep your personal data? 

We delete your personal data once it is no longer reasonably necessary for us to keep it for the Permitted Purposes. Importantly, Untitled will keep your personal data as necessary for the purposes of defending or making legal claims until the end of the period during which we may retain the data and otherwise until the settlement of any such claims, as relevant.

 

What rights do you have? 

Subject to certain conditions under applicable legislation, you have the right to:

  • request a copy of the personal data which we hold about you;
  • have any inaccurate data we hold about you corrected;
  • object or restrict our use of your personal data; and/or
  • submit a complaint if you have concerns about the way in which we are handling your data.

To do any of the above, please contact us at emilia.roggiero@untitled-slc.comTo enable us to process your request, we may require that you provide us with proof of your identity, such as by providing us with a copy of a valid form of identification – this is to ensure that we appropriately protect the personal data we hold from unauthorized access requests and comply with our security obligations. We may charge you a reasonable administrative fee for any unreasonable or excessive requests we may receive, and for any additional copies of the data you may request. In relation to complaints, we will promptly respond to your requests and complaints. In the event that you are unhappy with our response, you may submit a complaint to the relevant privacy regulator. We can provide you with the details of the relevant regulator upon request.

 

Correcting and updating your personal data

Where any personal data you have provided us with has changed, or where you believe the personal data, we hold is inaccurate, please let us know at emilia.roggiero@untitled-slc.com. In addition, please note that if you hold an office or are interested in or have certain relationships with a Third-Party Entity to which we provide services, you and/or the Third Party Entity may have a contractual or legal obligation to notify us of any change within a prescribed time period. We cannot be responsible for any loss that may arise due to us having any inaccurate, incomplete, inauthentic, or otherwise deficient personal data which you or a Third-Party Entity have provided to us. Please also let us know if you wish to withdraw any request.
