Alexanders Bermuda – PRIVACY NOTICE
What is PIPA?
Bermuda has introduced the Personal Information Protection Act, 2016 (“PIPA”) to regulate the use of personal information by organisations in a manner that recognises both the need to protect the rights of individuals in relation to their personal information and the need for organisations to use personal information for legitimate purposes. It encompasses both digital and non-digital information. “Personal information” is defined as any information about an identified or identifiable individual. “Use” is defined very broadly and includes collecting, storing, disclosing, transferring and destroying information.
Commitment to Privacy
Alexanders Barristers & Attorneys, Alexander Management Ltd., Alexander Advisory Limited, Alexander Advisory Solutions Limited, Alexander Securities Limited (collectively “Alexanders”, “us” “our” and “we”) is committed to maintaining the security, confidentiality and privacy of your Personal Information.
In this Privacy Policy “You”, “Your”, “their” refers to “Data Subject” i.e. the identified or identifiable living individual to whom personal data relates.
“Personal Information” means information associated with a specific identifiable individual but does not include information about corporate or commercial entities.
This Privacy Notice documents our commitment to protecting your Personal Information.
Responsibility
Alexanders is responsible for Personal Information in its possession or control. We have designated an individual to be responsible for compliance with our Privacy Policy and have adopted procedures to protect Personal Information, receive and respond to complaints and inquiries, train staff regarding policies and procedures and communicate our policies to you. We will monitor ongoing developments in privacy legislation and make changes to your Privacy Policy as required.
For the purposes of the PIPA and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Alexanders collects and processes Personal Information and acts as a data controller.
In delivering our services to you, your Personal Information that is collected through our website or any of our staff may be transferred between our servers, including our data centre.
What We Collect
In addition to Personal Information provided to us by you through our staff or website, we may also collect information that is publicly available. The Personal Information we hold includes:
- Contact information, including name, telephone number, address and email address, social insurance/tax number;
- Occupation and employer details;
- Identification documents and numbers necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as those related to anti-money laundering and “know-your-customer” requirements;
- IP addresses; and
- Details related to marketing our services, including recording your usage of our website and the mailing lists for which you have subscribed or unsubscribed.
Purposes
Alexanders comes into the possession of Personal Information in order to provide professional services. Alexanders only collects and processes Personal Information if it is lawful to do so, specifically where:
- It is required to fulfill a contract with you;
- It is required for us to comply with the law;
- It is necessary for us to perform a task in the public interest;
- It is necessary for our legitimate interests, or the legitimate interests of a third party; or
- You have provided us with your consent.
Your Personal Information may be used for the following purposes:
- To meet our regulatory, legal and professional obligations;
- To establish and manage our relationship with you;
- To provide legal advice and services;
- To monitor and manage the performance of our business operations;

Alexanders collects and processes Personal Information in order to fulfill its contractual obligations with you and to meet our applicable statutory obligations. If you decide not to provide us with necessary Personal Information this may prevent us from meeting our legal obligations, and therefore prevent us from performing our services for you.
Limits on Collection, Use, Retention and Disclosure of Personal Information
Alexanders does not retain any more of your Personal Information than we believe is necessary for any of the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice or which is dictated by legal or professional requirements. We will destroy, erase or make anonymous documents or other records containing Personal Information as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the original purpose of obtaining and storing it is no longer being served by retention of the Personal Information or retention is no longer necessary for legal, business or professional purposes. We will take reasonable care when destroying Personal Information so as to prevent unauthorized access.
Transfer of Information
Transfers to Third Parties
Alexanders may, from time to time, use third parties in the course of conducting its business. Alexanders will use reasonable efforts to ensure that third parties are bound by the terms of our Privacy Policy or a similar policy.
International Transfers
Your Personal Information may be transferred to or accessed from countries that may not have data protection laws equivalent to those of your country.
Unless we have your consent to transfer your Personal Information, the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or is otherwise permitted by applicable data protection and privacy laws, we will only transfer your Personal Information to a country considered to have an adequate level of protection. If such a country does not have equivalent privacy laws, Alexanders will ensure it has the appropriate safeguards in place; such safeguards may include binding corporate policies and procedures, standard contractual data protection clauses approved by applicable supervisory authorities, an approved employee code of conduct, or an approved certification mechanism.
