1. Scope
UNIONE™ may process personal data in connection with website use, enquiries, Fellowship / professional applications, institutional administration, case intake, events, research subscriptions and other services requested by users or organisations.
2. Data we may process
Depending on the interaction, this may include identity and contact information, professional information, organisation / role, enquiry records, application material, billing or transaction information, technical / security logs and case-related information submitted through authorised channels.
3. Purposes
Data may be used to respond to enquiries, operate institutional services, assess applications, administer professional relationships, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, manage records, communicate requested updates and improve the website or services.
4. Lawful basis and role
The lawful basis and whether UNIONE™ acts as controller or processor may depend on the service, contract, jurisdiction and relationship involved. Additional terms or data-processing documentation may apply to institutional or case work.
5. Sharing
Information may be shared with authorised service providers, institutional personnel, appointed professionals, advisers, counterparties or authorities where necessary for the relevant service, contract, legal obligation or consent. UNIONE™ does not state that conversations or case information are public merely because a public website is used.
6. International transfers
Cross-border institutional work may involve transfers between jurisdictions. Appropriate contractual, organisational or legal safeguards should be used where required by applicable law.
7. Retention
Records are retained for periods appropriate to the purpose, legal obligations, institutional requirements, disputes, security and applicable professional or contractual obligations. Retention periods may differ by record category.
8. Security
UNIONE™ applies technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information. No public website should be treated as the correct channel for confidential case files unless an expressly secure intake is provided.
9. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability or withdrawal of consent. Rights may be limited where legal, institutional, professional or dispute-related obligations require continued processing.
10. Contact
Privacy questions may be sent through Contact UNIONE™. A dedicated data-protection contact may be published where required.
This public policy is a release-ready institutional baseline. Jurisdiction-specific privacy notices, case-processing terms or DPAs should be reviewed by appropriately qualified privacy counsel where required.

Privacy processing, Fellowship or directory status creates no entitlement to appointment, referral, client work or case allocation.
