How we use it
Personal information is used to:
- Respond to enquiries and progress engagements you have initiated.
- Manage relationships with counterparties, partners, advisors, government stakeholders and capital sources during the course of a project.
- Comply with legal obligations including anti-money-laundering, sanctions screening and Foreign Investment Review Board pathways where applicable.
