Privacy Policy

SEG & Partners (“The Firm”) is committed to the protection of your privacy and will treat all of the information you provide through our website, including your registration information, with the utmost respect. We work diligently to ensure that we have taken all appropriate administrative and technical measures to prevent the unauthorised or unlawful use of your personally identifiable information, and to prevent any accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, such information.

We will not sell or disclose personally identifiable information about you to unaffiliated third parties except in accordance with this “Privacy Policy”.

Collection of Information

Our website collects certain information about visitors, even when they are not logged in. We may record your IP address, the URLs of the websites and pages you visit (before, during and after your visit to SEG & Partners’ website), the times and dates of such visits, information about the computer hardware and software you use and other information that may be available. Also, we may place “cookies” on your computer to recognise you on return visits to enable us to enhance your browsing experience, as well as to collect additional information about you. You may adjust your browser settings or use other means to prevent cookies from being placed on your computer, but doing so may result in reduced functionality and a less personalised browsing experience.

We may ask you to provide certain additional information about yourself, including your name, contact information, the organisation you come from and certain other information that the Firm may use to identify you. If you choose not to provide such information, you may not be permitted to access certain website features, content or services.

Use of Information

SEG & Partners uses the information that we collect about you to improve your browsing experience by personalising our website to your interest, and also to help us to select content and services that you may find interesting and useful. Information about the content you visit and services you use may be used alone or in conjunction with information collected from other users to help us tailor our website and our other products and services to better suit the needs and interests of you and other users.

Information that you provide may also be used as part of our effort to keep you informed about events and selected products and services that may be of interest to you. In some cases, we may contact you with information from carefully selected third parties, but we will not provide information to third parties for such purposes. In other cases, your information might be shared with a third party pursuant to a process that contemplates such sharing but which you knowingly initiate.

We reserve the right to disclose any information that it obtains through its website to appropriate governmental or regulatory authorities if required by law or any governmental agency.

Transfers of Information

From time to time, SEG & Partners may disclose information about you to carefully selected service providers that we may engage to host our website or to provide other services. We will require all such service providers to use the information solely to provide the specified services, and otherwise to conform to the requirements of this Privacy Policy. Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, we will not provide your information to third parties for any other purpose, including marketing.

In the United Kingdom, SEG & Partners LLP and SEG Europe LLP employ third party suppliers to provide services including utilising the services of a credit reference agency (https://www.transunion.co.uk/legal-information/bureau-privacy-notice)

From time to time, SEG & Partners may offer additional services through our website. In some cases, additional services may be subject to alternative terms of use (as identified by us), and your use of any such services will constitute your acceptance of such alternative terms of use. Unless otherwise stated, such alternative terms of use shall apply to supplement this Agreement and in the context of any conflicting terms, this Agreement shall govern with respect to our websites, content and services, excepting only those services which are expressly covered, and then only to the extent so expressly covered, by such alternative terms.
