Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Yourshield Consultants Ltd. collects, uses and protects personal data when you use this website, contact us, book a call or engage us for advisory services.
1. Controller
Yourshield Consultants Ltd. is the controller of personal data processed through this website and in connection with our consulting services. Contact: info@yourshield.com.cy.
2. Data We Collect
We may collect identification and contact data, company details, role and ownership information, project information, communication history, billing details, website technical data, and documents you voluntarily provide for licensing, banking, immigration, tax, AML or corporate advisory work.
3. Why We Use Data
We process personal data to respond to enquiries, book and run diagnostic calls, assess whether we can act, prepare scopes of work, provide consulting services, perform AML/KYC and conflict checks, manage invoices, protect our legal rights, improve the website and comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
4. GDPR Legal Bases
Depending on the context, we rely on contract performance, steps prior to entering into a contract, legitimate interests, legal obligations, consent, and, where necessary for specific advisory work, explicit consent or another lawful basis for special-category data.
5. Sharing Data
We may share data with professional advisers, licensed immigration counsel, tax advisers, banks, EMIs, payment providers, regulators, company formation agents, compliance vendors, IT providers and calendar or communication tools where needed for the project. We do not sell personal data.
6. International Transfers
Because our work is cross-border, personal data may be processed outside Cyprus or the EEA. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections, transfer impact checks and trusted professional counterparties.
7. Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose collected, including legal, accounting, AML/KYC and professional liability retention periods. Enquiry data is normally kept for up to 24 months unless a longer period is needed.
8. Your Rights
Subject to GDPR conditions, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection to processing, or withdrawal of consent. You may also complain to the Cyprus Commissioner for Personal Data Protection.
9. Cookies and Analytics
We may use essential cookies and basic analytics to operate and improve the website. If we add non-essential marketing cookies, we will request consent where required.
10. Security
We use reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal data, including access controls, professional confidentiality, secure communication practices and supplier review. No online system is completely risk-free.
11. Updates
We may update this policy as our services, tools or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this page.
