Data Protection and Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, destruction or loss.
These safeguards may include access controls, authentication measures, encryption, secure storage, system monitoring, backups, staff confidentiality requirements and service-provider assessments.
Access to personal information is limited to authorised personnel and approved professional partners who require it for legitimate service, operational or compliance purposes.
While we take reasonable precautions, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Sharing of Personal Information
Where reasonably necessary and legally permitted, personal information may be shared with:
- PPW Africa personnel, branches and associated entities
- Regulated financial institutions and investment-service providers
- Banks, custodians, insurers and pension providers
- Legal, tax, accounting and fiduciary advisers
- Technology, hosting, cybersecurity and document-storage providers
- Payment-processing and identity-verification providers
- Compliance, sanctions-screening and due-diligence providers
- Regulatory, judicial, tax or law-enforcement authorities
- Other professional providers authorized by you or required to deliver an agreed service
Third parties that process personal information on our behalf are required to maintain appropriate confidentiality, security and data-protection standards.
International Data Transfers
As a cross-border advisory firm, PPW Africa may work with clients, financial institutions and professional service providers in multiple jurisdictions. Personal information may therefore be accessed, processed, transferred or stored outside your country of residence.
Where international transfers occur, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate legal, contractual, organisational and technical safeguards are applied. Transfers will be conducted only where permitted by applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to meet contractual, regulatory, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention and legal requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the service provided and the applicable jurisdiction. When information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymised or archived as permitted by law.

Subject to applicable law and any lawful exemptions, you may have the right to:
- Request information about how your personal data is processed
- Request access to your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of personal information
- Request restriction of certain processing activities
- Object to certain processing, including direct marketing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request the transfer of your personal information where applicable
- Submit a complaint to the relevant data-protection authority
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
We may request appropriate identification before responding to a rights request.
Marketing Communications
Where permitted, PPW Africa may send you service updates, financial-education content, invitations and information about relevant services.
You may opt out of promotional communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided or contacting us through our official channels. Opting out of marketing communications will not prevent us from sending necessary administrative, security or service-related messages.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functions, remember preferences, understand website usage and improve the user experience.
Further information is available in our Cookie Policy. Where required, optional cookies will be used only after obtaining your consent.
Third-Party Websites
Our website and digital platforms may contain links to third-party websites or services. These parties operate under their own privacy policies, and PPW Africa is not responsible for their independent privacy or security practices.
We encourage you to review the relevant privacy policy before providing personal information to a third party.
