5. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal data only where we have a valid legal basis to do so. The principal purposes and legal bases are:
- Responding to enquiries and managing correspondence — based on our legitimate interest in engaging with prospective partners and stakeholders, and your interest in receiving a substantive response.
- Negotiating and performing engagements — based on the necessity of processing for the performance of a contract, or steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract.
- Counterparty diligence and compliance screening — based on our legitimate interest in operating a disciplined business and on our legal obligations relating to financial crime, sanctions, and corporate record-keeping.
- Website operation, security, fraud prevention, and integrity — based on our legitimate interest in operating a safe and reliable website.
- Analytics and improvement of the website — based on your consent, where required by applicable law (collected through our cookie banner).
- Compliance with legal obligations — including tax, accounting, anti-money-laundering, sanctions, and reporting obligations.
- Establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims — based on our legitimate interest in protecting our rights and those of third parties.
- Internal administration and record-keeping — based on our legitimate interest in maintaining accurate and complete records.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, regulatory, or reporting requirements. Indicative retention periods are:
- Contact form submissions and general correspondence: up to 24 months from the date of last interaction.
- Counterparty engagement records and supporting diligence: for the duration of the engagement and up to 7 years thereafter, in line with applicable record-keeping obligations.
- Records required for tax and accounting purposes: for the period required by applicable law (typically 7 years).
- Records required to evidence compliance with anti-money-laundering, sanctions, and financial-crime obligations: for the period required by applicable law.
- Technical server logs and security records: up to 12 months.
- Cookie data and consent records: as described in our Cookie Policy; consent records are typically retained for 12 months.
- Records relating to legal claims: for the duration of any relevant limitation period.
When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete, destroy, or anonymise it. Where deletion is not technically feasible (for example, in backup systems), the data is isolated from further active processing and deleted on the next scheduled cycle.
7. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data:
- Right of access — to obtain confirmation that we process your personal data, and a copy of that data together with related information.

- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to restriction of processing — to request that we limit the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability — to receive personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller, where technically feasible.
- Right to object — to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling.
- Right to withdraw consent — at any time, where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
- Right to lodge a complaint — with a competent data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
- Rights under U.S. state privacy laws (e.g., California) — including the right to know, the right to delete, the right to correct, the right to opt out of certain "sales" or "sharing" (we do not sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioural advertising), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@core-vga.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding and will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (typically within 30 days, extendable in complex cases).
8. Third-Party Recipients
We do not sell personal data and we do not share personal data for cross-context behavioural advertising. We may share personal data with the following categories of recipients, in each case under appropriate contractual and technical safeguards:
- Service providers and processors — including providers of website hosting, content delivery, email delivery, analytics, IT support, communications platforms, and security services, acting on our behalf and under our instructions.
- Professional advisors — including lawyers, auditors, accountants, and other professional service providers, bound by duties of confidentiality.
- Sanctions and screening providers — for the purpose of counterparty diligence and compliance with applicable law.
- Regulatory, governmental, and judicial authorities — where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
- Counterparties and partners — where reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, perform a contract, or coordinate a project in which you are a participant.
- Acquirers or successors — in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or transfer of all or part of our business, subject to confidentiality.
9. International Transfers
We are based in the United States and may transfer personal data to, store it in, or process it in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including jurisdictions whose data protection laws may differ from those of your country. Where such transfers occur and applicable law requires, we implement appropriate safeguards, which may include:
- standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner's Office;
- reliance on adequacy decisions, where applicable;
- supplementary technical, organisational, and contractual measures, where required by applicable law.
You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting us at info@core-vga.com.
10. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, disclosure, or access. These measures include access controls, encryption in transit, secure infrastructure, logging, and staff training. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a personal data breach that meets the applicable legal threshold, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and, where required, affected individuals, in accordance with applicable law.
11. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 16 (or such higher age as may be specified by applicable law). If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so that we may delete it.
12. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not use personal data collected through this website to make decisions based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
13. Marketing
We do not conduct mass marketing campaigns and do not send unsolicited promotional communications. Where we do send occasional updates to professional contacts, recipients may opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us directly.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. The "Effective date" at the top of this page indicates when this version was last updated. Material changes will be communicated through the website.
