​

4. Our lawful bases for processing

​

Under Article 6 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

​

Depending upon the circumstances, we rely principally upon the following:

​

Contract – Article 6(1)(b)

​

We process personal information where this is necessary to take steps at an individual's request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with that individual.

​

This may include providing services to individual clients and administering Academy applications, enrolments, programme delivery, assessment and certification.

​

Legitimate interests – Article 6(1)(f)

​

We process personal information where necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by the rights and interests of the individuals concerned.

​

These interests may include:

​

• developing and managing relationships with existing and prospective organisational clients;

• communicating with professional contacts;

• responding to enquiries;

• administering and delivering professional engagements;

• maintaining appropriate business, client and Academy records;

• managing and improving our services;

• protecting our business and information systems; and

• establishing, exercising or defending legal claims where necessary.

​

This basis is particularly relevant where Knightsbridge provides services to an organisation and processes the professional contact information of individuals acting on that organisation's behalf.

​

Legal obligation – Article 6(1)(c)

​

We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, including applicable accounting, taxation and corporate record-keeping requirements.

​

5. Sharing your information

​

We do not sell or trade personal information.

​

We may share or make information available to trusted service providers where reasonably necessary to operate our business or deliver our services. These may include providers of:

​

• website and IT services;

• email and communications services;

• cloud storage and document management;

• videoconferencing and collaboration tools;

• payment and financial administration services; and

• other professional or administrative services.

​

We may also disclose personal information where required by law, regulation, legal process or a competent authority.

​

Where a consulting or wargaming engagement requires information to be shared with other participants or organisations, we will only do so where this is reasonably necessary for the engagement, authorised by the client, or otherwise permitted by law.

​

6. Confidential client information

​

Our consulting, intelligence, research, advisory and wargaming activities may involve information supplied to us by clients that is confidential or commercially sensitive.

​

We treat such information in accordance with our contractual and professional obligations to the relevant client.

​

This Privacy Policy concerns personal information protected by data protection law and does not replace any additional confidentiality, non-disclosure or information-security obligations applying to a particular client engagement.

​

7. International processing

​

Knightsbridge operates internationally and provides services to clients and participants in different countries.

​

Some of the technology and service providers we use may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.

​

Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer of personal information, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.

​

8. How long we keep your information

​

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

​

The appropriate period will depend upon the nature of the information and our relationship with the individual or organisation concerned.

​

We may retain information where reasonably necessary to:

​

• provide and administer our services;

• maintain appropriate records of client engagements;

• maintain Academy participation, assessment and certification records;

• respond to subsequent enquiries;

• resolve disputes or establish a record of services provided; and

• meet legal, accounting, taxation or regulatory requirements.

​

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will delete or securely dispose of it where appropriate.

​

9. Data security

​

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.

​

Access to personal information is restricted to those who reasonably require it for legitimate professional or administrative purposes.

​

10. Your rights

​

Depending upon the circumstances, UK data protection law gives individuals rights concerning their personal information. These may include the right to:

​

• request access to personal information we hold about you;

• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;

• request deletion of information in certain circumstances;

• request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;

• object to processing based upon legitimate interests in certain circumstances; and

• request transfer of certain information where the right to data portability applies.

​

These rights are subject to the conditions and exemptions contained in applicable data protection law.

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the contact details provided on our website.

​

11. Complaints

​

If you have concerns about how Knightsbridge processes your personal information, please contact us in the first instance so that we have an opportunity to address the matter.

​

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK's independent supervisory authority for data protection.
