PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: 9 April 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy is issued by Vivek Brokers (the "Company", "Vivek Brokers", "we", "us", or "our"), a company established in Colombia and engaged in international brokerage, strategic market access, trade facilitation, and cross-border commercial advisory services between Latin America and Australia.
This Privacy Policy sets out the basis upon which the Company collects, records, stores, uses, discloses, transfers, and otherwise processes personal information obtained through its website, brokerage mandates, advisory engagements, supplier and investor introductions, transaction support services, digital systems, and related communications (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing the Services, corresponding with the Company, submitting information to us, or otherwise engaging Vivek Brokers in connection with any commercial activity, you acknowledge and accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.
2. APPLICABLE LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The Company seeks to conduct its privacy and data handling practices in accordance with all laws applicable to its operations, including without limitation Law 1581 of 2012 of Colombia, Decree 1377 of 2013, the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles where Australian counterparties or stakeholders are involved, and, where relevant, internationally recognised standards including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
3. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may collect personal and commercial information including names, business titles, employer details, telephone numbers, email addresses, billing and payment information, government or tax identifiers where required for compliance, transaction correspondence, contractual records, due diligence materials, and any other information voluntarily provided by clients, counterparties, suppliers, investors, project partners, consultants, or website users.
The Company may also automatically collect technical information arising from access to the website or associated digital systems, including internet protocol addresses, browser identifiers, operating systems, device information, access timestamps, pages visited, referral sources, and usage analytics.
Where users connect via third-party platforms, payment gateways, analytics systems, CRM software, or social and professional networking services, the Company may receive limited data required to authenticate users, process transactions, manage relationships, or deliver the Services.
4. PURPOSE OF COLLECTION AND USE
The Company collects and processes personal information solely for legitimate business and legal purposes, including the provision of brokerage and strategic advisory services, facilitation of cross-border transactions, verification of counterparties, supplier and investor onboarding, execution of mandates, compliance and reporting obligations, invoicing and payment administration, risk management, fraud prevention, improvement of digital systems, relationship management, communications, and the protection of the Company’s legal and commercial interests.
Where marketing or promotional communications are issued, the Company will do so in accordance with applicable consent and unsubscribe requirements under relevant law.
5. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Personal information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business to professional advisers, legal counsel, accountants, compliance consultants, payment processors, cloud hosting providers, CRM and communications platforms, software providers, transaction counterparties, suppliers, investors, project participants, and other trusted third-party service providers engaged by the Company.
The Company may also disclose information where required by law, court order, regulatory request, anti-money laundering obligations, tax reporting requirements, or where such disclosure is reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
The Company does not sell personal information to third parties.
6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Given the international nature of Vivek Brokers’ operations, personal information may be transferred between Colombia, Australia, and other jurisdictions in which trusted software providers, transaction participants, financial institutions, or service partners operate, including the United States and Europe.
Where international transfers occur, the Company implements reasonable contractual, organisational, administrative, and technical safeguards to ensure that such information is protected to standards substantially equivalent to those required under applicable Colombian and Australian privacy laws.
7. DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION
The Company maintains reasonable physical, technical, contractual, and administrative safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, interference, loss, disclosure, or alteration.
Personal information will be retained only for so long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, satisfy legal, regulatory, tax, audit, dispute resolution, and compliance obligations, and protect the Company’s legitimate commercial interests. Upon expiry of the relevant retention period, information will be securely destroyed, anonymised, or de-identified where appropriate.
8. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS
Subject to the laws applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, individuals may have rights to request access to personal information held by the Company, seek correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion where lawful, withdraw consent where consent forms the legal basis of processing, object to certain categories of processing, request restriction of use, or obtain a copy of their personal information.
All privacy requests must be submitted in writing to the contact details specified in Clause 11.
9. THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS AND EXTERNAL LINKS
The Company’s website and communications may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, software providers, investor portals, payment systems, or external resources not controlled by Vivek Brokers.
The Company accepts no responsibility for the privacy, security, or data handling practices of such third parties, and all users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of those external systems independently.
10. AMENDMENTS
The Company reserves the right to amend, update, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time in order to reflect legal, regulatory, operational, or technological changes.
The current version published on the Company’s website shall constitute the operative version from the date stated above.
