Privacy Notice

This website is operated by Professional Governance Consulting (PGC), an independent advisory practice providing governance, internal audit, risk, and integrity advisory services. This notice applies solely to personal information collected through this website and is distinct from the data-privacy consulting services PGC may provide to client organizations.

Contact: info@professionalgc.org; telephone +962 79 5769 880 or +43 660 843 1800. Full contact details are available on our Contact page.

We collect only the information you choose to provide through the contact form, which may include:

• Name, professional email, organization, position or role, and country — to identify you and understand your context.
• Service of interest and preferred consultation date/time — to direct and schedule your inquiry.
• Message content — the details you choose to share about your inquiry.

We also receive limited technical data transmitted automatically by your browser (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for site security and to maintain the integrity of the site. We do not use this data to identify you personally.

We process personal information for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiry — the details you submit are used to review and reply to your request. The legal basis is your consent, given when you submit the form, and our legitimate interest in responding to prospective clients.
• Site security and integrity — technical data and the form's spam-protection measures help prevent automated abuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in protecting the website.

We use the information you submit only to respond to your inquiry and, where relevant, to follow up regarding the services you asked about. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not use it for marketing unless you separately request it.

We retain inquiry information only for as long as necessary to respond to your request and for a limited period thereafter to maintain records of correspondence (typically up to 24 months), unless a longer retention is required by applicable law or to defend against a legal claim. After this period, the information is deleted or anonymized.

Access to your personal information is restricted to:

• The founder and authorised personnel of PGC, for the purpose of responding to your inquiry;
• Our email delivery and hosting service providers, acting as processors under appropriate data-protection terms, solely to transmit and store your message.

We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Because our service providers may operate outside your country, your information may be processed in a jurisdiction with different data-protection rules. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect your information.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;
• Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• Request deletion of your personal information;
• Restrict or object to our processing of your information;
• Receive a copy of your information in a portable format;
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal;
• Lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

This website uses only strictly necessary cookies and does not use advertising or tracking cookies. See our Cookie Notice for details.

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. The date of the last revision is noted above, and material changes will be reflected on this page.
