Confidentiality is a fundamental principle of every engagement undertaken by Azanita Consulting.
Many of our advisory assignments involve access to confidential business, operational, architectural and technical information. We recognise the trust placed in us by our clients and are committed to protecting that information with the highest level of professional care.
Information obtained during client engagements is treated as strictly confidential and is used solely for the purposes agreed with the client or where required by applicable law.
Azanita Consulting does not use confidential client information for marketing purposes, business development activities or any purpose unrelated to the agreed engagement.
Confidential information is never disclosed to third parties without the client’s explicit authorisation unless disclosure is required by law or is necessary to fulfil agreed contractual obligations.
Where appropriate, confidentiality obligations may be further supported through Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) or other contractual confidentiality provisions agreed with our clients.
The principles of confidentiality described in this section apply equally to information relating to individuals, organisations, technical environments, business processes and strategic initiatives.

We do not disclose confidential client information to third parties except where expressly authorised by the client, required by law or necessary to deliver agreed professional services.
Azanita Consulting is established in the Netherlands and primarily processes personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA).
As our advisory services may be provided to organisations internationally, certain engagements or the use of carefully selected service providers may involve the transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, Azanita Consulting will ensure that such transfers are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
Where required, appropriate safeguards may include:
International transfers of personal data are limited to situations where they are necessary for the delivery of our services, the operation of our business, or compliance with applicable legal obligations.
Azanita Consulting takes reasonable steps to ensure that personal data transferred internationally remains subject to an appropriate level of protection.
Azanita Consulting retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with applicable legal, regulatory or contractual obligations.

Examples include:
Business Enquiries
Personal data relating to enquiries may be retained for a reasonable period to enable follow-up communications and to maintain accurate business records.
Client Engagements
Information relating to advisory engagements may be retained for the duration of the engagement and for an appropriate period afterwards where required for contractual, legal, professional or administrative purposes.
