This Privacy & Cookies Policy explains how Veritas Assurance Partners ("Veritas", "we", "us") collects, uses, discloses and protects personal information when you use this website or contact us, in accordance with the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, and other applicable data-protection laws. Please read it carefully.
By submitting any form on this website, you expressly consent to Veritas contacting you by email and sending you communications, which may include: information relating to your enquiry or case; commercial, contractual and engagement information; newsletters, insights and marketing or advertising. This consent is given freely and you may withdraw it at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by writing to us. Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect communications strictly necessary to respond to your enquiry or to provide a service you have requested.
Who we are (Data Controller)
Veritas Assurance Partners LLC, an international investigations and advisory firm based in Miami, Florida (United States), is the controller responsible for your personal information. You can reach us regarding privacy matters using the contact details at the end of this policy.
Information we collect
We collect: (a) information you provide through our contact or newsletter forms, such as your name, company, email address, telephone number, the service of interest and the content of your message — and, when you submit a form, the IP address it is sent from and the country it corresponds to, which we record and store together with your inquiry; (b) information you later share with us in the course of an engagement; and (c) limited technical data automatically collected to operate and secure the site, such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed and, subject to your consent, analytics identifiers.
We do not knowingly collect special-category data through this website and ask that you do not include highly sensitive details in a first message.
Legal bases for processing
We process your personal information on the following legal bases: your consent (for marketing communications and non-essential cookies); the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request prior to a contract (to respond to your enquiry and provide our services); our legitimate interests (to operate, secure and improve our business and website, where not overridden by your rights); and compliance with legal obligations.
How we use your information
We use your information to respond to your enquiries; to provide, manage and improve our services; to prepare and send proposals and contractual documents; to send the communications described below; to maintain the security and integrity of our systems; and to comply with applicable laws and professional obligations.
Communications and email marketing
With your consent (which you provide by submitting a form on this site or subscribing to our newsletter), we may send you emails that include: replies and updates regarding your enquiry or case; commercial, contractual and engagement-related information such as proposals, quotes and invoices; and newsletters, insights, event invitations and marketing or advertising about our services.
Every marketing email contains a one-click unsubscribe link, and you may opt out at any time. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use strictly necessary cookies that are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. With your consent, we also use analytics cookies (for example Google Analytics, with IP anonymization) to understand how the site is used and to improve it.
When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time through the “Cookie preferences” option. Analytics are not loaded unless and until you accept.
Disclosure of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose it to trusted service providers who process it on our behalf and under written confidentiality obligations (for example email, hosting and analytics providers); to our professional advisers; where strictly necessary to deliver an engagement; and where required by law, court order or to protect our rights. All such recipients are bound by appropriate confidentiality and data-protection safeguards.
International transfers
As an international firm, we may process and store information in the United States and other countries. Where personal data is transferred outside your jurisdiction, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms to protect it.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal, accounting and regulatory obligations, and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
Security
We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration, including encryption in transit, access controls and multi-factor authentication for our back office. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work continuously to safeguard your data.
Withdrawing consent and opting out
You can withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us. You can manage cookies through the cookie-preferences option. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Children's privacy
This website is intended for business and professional use and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

We may update this Privacy & Cookies Policy from time to time. The current version is always available on this page, with its effective date. Material changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
