Compensation data is only shared with our clients if you specifically agree to this.

We may use your personal data to validate your track record, which is described in more detail in the Privacy Policy.

We also may use your data to contact you with new potential connections, opportunities, content about a relevant topic and news about us.

We also may use your personal data to undertake research on our market, though this research will only be shared outside our organisation in a way which does not personally identify you, unless you have given your prior specific agreement.
