Confidentiality & Privacy Notice

1. Professional Confidentiality

Velten Advisors operates under strict professional confidentiality obligations. All client communications, mandate instructions, corporate documents, financial records, and structural advisory matters received by Michael Velten or our practice are treated as privileged and confidential.

Confidential information is never disclosed to tax authorities, regulators, or third parties without explicit, written client authorisation, except where strictly required by applicable law.

2. Personal Data Collection & Purpose

We collect personal data (such as names, corporate affiliations, email addresses, contact telephone numbers, and matter summaries) strictly for the purposes of:

• Evaluating, scoping, and executing requested tax advisory engagements.
• Conducting statutory and professional conflict-of-interest checks.
• Fulfilling legal and regulatory compliance obligations (including anti-money laundering and know-your-customer verifications).
• Responding directly to confidential enquiries submitted via our website or direct communication channels.

3. Data Security & Retention

We maintain rigorous technical and organizational security measures to protect personal and corporate data against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or alteration. Data is retained only for the duration necessary to satisfy the advisory mandate, statutory compliance requirements, and professional liability preservation periods.

4. Cross-Border Transfers & Third Parties

Where cross-border mandates require coordination with our curated network of specialist partner law or tax firms in other jurisdictions, information is transferred under equivalent confidentiality and data protection agreements. We do not sell, rent, or commercialise personal data under any circumstances.

5. Your Rights & Enquiries

Under the Singapore PDPA and applicable international data protection laws (such as GDPR for EU residents), you have the right to request access to, correction of, or withdrawal of consent for the processing of your personal data.
