This note affirms that there is life after GDPR.

We at OWL have always taken confidentiality with the utmost seriousness and GDPR does not alter that in any way. Our policy has been and remains that, unless requested by the client or obliged by the law to do otherwise, we provide no information about our clients or contacts to anyone. Anything else would, in our view, be a betrayal of trust, which we would not contemplate.

We bring a similar approach to data security. The data that we hold about clients is material provided to us by them. It is held securely and used only for the purpose for which it was provided.

Our policy on contact with clients and others remains that we occasionally circulate our own thoughts, with the intention of assisting others who may be subject to changing regulations and other regulatory developments. If any recipient of those notes requests that we cease to contact them in that way, we will always respect any such request.

And we hope that our clients take a similar approach.

If you have any questions about our approach to privacy and confidentiality, please contact us.

Meanwhile, let life continue!
