BGAM™ Research ("we", "us" or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website at bgamresearch.com (the "Website") or subscribe to our research communications.

By using our Website or subscribing to our research communications, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described in this policy, please do not use our Website or subscribe.

We collect information you provide directly to us, including: your name and email address when you subscribe to our research communications; your research interests, investor type and communication preferences when you complete your subscriber profile; the content of research report requests you submit through our Request a Report form; and any other information you choose to provide when contacting us.

We also collect certain information automatically when you visit our Website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed and the dates and times of your visits. This information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies.

When you subscribe to BGAM™ Research, we create a subscriber profile that may include your name, email address, country, language preference, investor type, research interests and communication frequency preferences. This profile is used solely to personalise the research communications we send you and to understand aggregate demand for research topics.

We personalise communications only based on preferences you voluntarily provide and content you engage with. We do not infer sensitive personal characteristics, make automated investment decisions, or use your data for purposes beyond research communication and demand analysis.

We do not transfer subscriber profile data to external marketing services, advertising platforms or data brokers without your explicit consent.

We use a double opt-in process for all new subscriptions. When you submit a subscription form, we send a confirmation email to the address you provided. Your subscription is only activated after you click the confirmation link in that email. This ensures that only you can subscribe your email address to our communications.

We record the date, time, source and version of your consent. This consent record is maintained as an immutable audit log. You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email we send you, or by visiting bgamresearch.com/unsubscribe.

When you submit a research report request through our Request a Report form, we collect your name, email address, the subject of your request, your intended use and other details you choose to provide. This information is used solely to evaluate research demand, classify requests and respond to you about the status of your request.

We do not collect confidential or material non-public information through our report request form. Please do not submit any information that is confidential, proprietary or subject to legal restrictions.

We use the information we collect to: provide, maintain and improve our Website and research communications; send you research briefings, new report alerts and other communications you have subscribed to; respond to your research requests and enquiries; understand aggregate demand for research topics; and comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our Website and delivering our communications, provided they agree to keep your information confidential.

You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email we send you and selecting the data deletion option, or by contacting us directly. Upon receiving a verified deletion request, we will remove your personal data from our active systems within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations.

Please note that certain anonymised or aggregated data derived from your interactions (such as aggregate interest statistics) may be retained after deletion as it cannot be linked back to you individually.

Our Website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us understand how visitors use our Website. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Website.

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Website. For more information about our use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Subscriber data is retained while your subscription is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to honour unsubscribe requests and prevent re-subscription without consent.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including: the right to access your personal data; the right to correct inaccurate data; the right to request deletion of your data; the right to object to or restrict processing; the right to data portability; and the right to withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address provided below, or use the self-service options available at bgamresearch.com/preferences. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection law.
