This policy explains how Vaux Developments Limited ("Vaux", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit our website or contact us. We are committed to handling your information transparently and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

For any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, please contact Finn Carew at 35 Ballards Lane, London, N3 1XW.

What information we collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

  • Information you provide directly when you contact us via our website, email, or telephone — typically your name, email address, telephone number, employer, and the content of your enquiry.

  • Information collected automatically when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URL. This information is collected through our website hosting platform (see "Hosting and third parties" below).

  • Information from third parties where you have provided your contact details through a mutual contact, an introduction, or a professional networking platform.

We do not knowingly collect special category data (e.g. information about health, race, or political views) through this website.

How we use your information

We use personal data for the following purposes:

  • To respond to enquiries and provide the services you have requested.

  • To manage and maintain professional relationships with clients, investors, partners, agents, and consultants.

  • To send relevant business updates, deal information, or market commentary where we believe it is of legitimate interest to you in a professional capacity.

  • To operate, maintain, and improve our website.

  • To comply with legal, regulatory, and accounting obligations.

Lawful basis for processing

We process personal data on one or more of the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:

  • Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for the conduct of our business, such as responding to enquiries, managing professional relationships, and sharing market information with relevant contacts. We balance our legitimate interests against your rights and freedoms before relying on this basis.

  • Consent — where you have actively opted in to receive marketing communications or where required by law.

  • Contract — where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you.

  • Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable law.

Hosting and third parties

Our website is hosted by Wix.com Ltd ("Wix"), which processes certain technical information on our behalf when you visit the site, including data necessary for site functionality, security, and performance. Wix may set essential cookies and similar technologies for these purposes. Wix's own privacy practices are governed by its privacy policy, available at www.wix.com/about/privacy.

We may also share information with:

  • Trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our business, such as our email provider, IT support, and professional advisers. These parties are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.

  • Regulators, law enforcement, or other authorities where we are required to do so by law.

  • Professional counterparties (e.g. lawyers, accountants, lenders, agents) where necessary to advance a project or transaction and where you would reasonably expect us to do so.

We do not sell personal data. We do not transfer personal data outside the UK unless appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g. standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision). Some of our service providers, including Wix, may process data outside the UK; in such cases we ensure that appropriate safeguards apply.

 

Cookies

Our website uses only the essential cookies required by our hosting platform (Wix) to ensure the website functions correctly and securely. We do not use cookies for marketing or third-party analytics. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, though disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality.

How long we keep your information

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. General enquiry records are typically retained for [2 years]; client, investor, and counterparty records are retained for [7 years] after the end of the relationship to meet legal, tax, and professional obligations.

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • The right to be informed about how we use your data.

  • The right of access to the data we hold about you.

  • The right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") in certain circumstances.

  • The right to restrict processing in certain circumstances.

  • The right to data portability.

  • The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.

  • The right to withdraw consent at any time where consent is our lawful basis.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

 

Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. However, no system is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
