Purpose of Data Collection

Applied Facts Group, Inc. (“Applied Facts”) provides due diligence, compliance, investigative and other risk consultancy services to clients. We help our clients mitigate risk – for example by conducting due diligence on a potential business partner, supplier or acquisition target. In many cases, clients engage Applied Facts to help fulfill a requirement of an EU or member state law or regulation, such as EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulations and the UK Bribery Act 2010. In providing our services, Applied Facts may collect, receive and process certain personal data from or on behalf of its clients and act as data processor or as a data controller, depending on the service provided and the amount of control Applied Facts has over the purpose(s) and means of the data processing. Applied Facts may also collect data directly from data subjects who visit our website, as well as from third parties (including public sources, such as public records and registries, social media sites, the Internet, and industry or country experts). The personal data we process in the performance of services for and on behalf of our clients includes, but is not limited to, names, contact information, education, work activity and history, financial information, as well as, where necessary, data concerning criminal convictions and offenses and some special categories of information as defined by article 9 of the GDPR. Applied Facts may use the relevant personal data to (1) provide the products or perform the services requested by clients; (2) comply with obligations under laws, current regulations and European legislation (e.g., tax regulations); (3) provide interested parties with information about our products and services; (4) operate and improve Applied Facts’ website and the customer experience; and (5) protect against, identify and prevent security breaches, fraud, and violation of applicable agreements. Applied Facts may disclose the relevant personal data to recipients such as (1) the company’s clients; (2) third-party controllers; and (3) third-party processors the company has retained to perform services on its behalf and pursuant to its instructions. Applied Facts also may disclose the relevant personal data if it is required to do so by law or legal process or in response to lawful requests from public authorities, including to meet national security, public interest or law enforcement requirements.
