Sharing of Personal Information

We may share personal information only where necessary, appropriate, proportionate, and consistent with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain appropriate consent before disclosing personal information to a third party. In all cases, disclosures will be subject to applicable legal, professional, confidentiality, security, and data protection requirements.

We may share personal information with:

  • Crowe Global, where relevant to network coordination, referrals, communications, quality, administration, risk management, compliance, or business purposes.
  • Other Crowe Global member firms, where relevant to your inquiry, service request, jurisdiction, sector, professional matter, referral, or engagement support.
  • Service providers who support website hosting, information technology, communications, analytics, marketing tools, data storage, cybersecurity, administration, document management, and related operations.

  • Third parties involved in a merger, restructuring, transfer, acquisition, business continuity arrangement, or similar transaction affecting Crowe AHFAD or relevant operations, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.

We do not sell personal information. Where we engage service providers, we expect them to process personal information only for authorized purposes and subject to appropriate confidentiality, security, and data protection obligations.

International Transfers

Because Crowe AHFAD operates within an international professional network and may use technology, hosting, communications, analytics, cloud, cybersecurity, administrative, and professional support service providers, personal information may be transferred to, accessed from, or processed in jurisdictions outside the country in which it was originally collected.

Such transfers may occur where necessary for responding to inquiries, coordinating with Crowe Global or other Crowe Global member firms, supporting technology and website operations, managing communications, fulfilling professional obligations, supporting service delivery, or pursuing legitimate business, compliance, and administrative purposes.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, Crowe AHFAD will seek to ensure that the recipient is subject to appropriate legal, contractual, organizational, technical, or confidentiality safeguards designed to protect privacy and the confidentiality of personal information. Where required by applicable law, personal information will not be transferred to a jurisdiction or third party that does not provide appropriate safeguards for the protection of privacy.

Accuracy and Updating of Personal Information

Crowe AHFAD seeks to maintain personal information that is accurate, complete, and relevant for the purposes for which it is processed.

You may request that we correct or update personal information that you have provided to us where it is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. We may request reasonable supporting information where necessary to verify and process such correction or update.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, professional standards, regulatory obligations, contractual requirements, dispute management, or legitimate business needs.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose of processing. Relevant considerations may include:

  • The nature of the relationship, inquiry, communication, service, or professional matter.
  • Legal, regulatory, tax, audit, professional, ethical, contractual, and recordkeeping requirements.
  • The need to maintain appropriate business, client, recruitment, compliance, and professional records.
  • The need to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
  • Security, fraud prevention, risk management, independence, quality management, and compliance considerations.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, archive, or securely restrict it in accordance with applicable requirements and internal procedures.

Information Security

Crowe AHFAD applies reasonable administrative, technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, destruction, or other unlawful handling.

These safeguards may include, as appropriate:

  • Access controls and authorization procedures.
  • Secure systems and restricted user permissions.
  • Confidentiality obligations for personnel and service providers.
  • Data backup, monitoring, and security management procedures.
  • Measures to protect website, communication, and information systems.
  • Security considerations in the selection and oversight of relevant service providers.
  • Internal procedures intended to support responsible handling of personal information.
  • Measures intended to support the continuity, reliability, and regular operation of relevant systems.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, while we apply reasonable safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through digital channels.

Marketing Communications

We may send professional updates, publications, invitations, service information, event communications, newsletters, or other business communications where permitted by applicable law and consistent with your communication preferences.

You may opt out of marketing communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in relevant messages or by contacting us through the contact channels made available on this website.

Please note that opting out of marketing communications does not prevent us from sending non-marketing communications, including responses to inquiries, service-related communications, legal notices, professional engagement communications, or administrative messages.

Where communications are sent by Crowe Global or another Crowe Global member firm, you may need to manage your communication preferences directly with the relevant sender.

Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law and verification requirements, you may have rights in relation to your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • Request access to personal information that you have provided to us.
  • Verify the accuracy of such personal information.
  • Request correction or update of inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal information.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, subject to applicable limitations.
  • Object to, or request restriction of, certain processing activities where applicable.
  • Request deletion of personal information where applicable and where retention is not required for legal, professional, contractual, recordkeeping, dispute management, or legitimate business purposes.
  • Request information about how your personal information is used or shared.
  • Lodge a complaint with a competent authority, where such right exists under applicable law.

To exercise your rights, please contact us through the contact channels made available on this website and provide sufficient information to allow us to verify your identity and locate the relevant records.

We will respond to valid requests within a reasonable period and in accordance with applicable law. Certain rights may be limited where information is required for legal, regulatory, professional, contractual, security, recordkeeping, independence, quality management, dispute management, or legitimate business purposes.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for business, professional, recruitment, and general informational use. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete or restrict such information, where required by applicable law.
