This Notice explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal information.

3. Information we may collect
Depending on your relationship with Finite, we may process information including:
Identity and contact information
Name, email address, telephone number, location, professional contact information and other identifying information.
Professional information
Employment history, job title, employer, professional experience, qualifications, skills, areas of expertise, seniority and publicly available professional information.

Financial and transactional information
Where relevant to an engagement, information necessary for invoicing, payment and administration of services or programmes.
Special-category or criminal-offence information
In limited circumstances we may process special-category personal data or criminal-offence information where relevant and lawful.
Where we do so, we will identify an appropriate Article 6 lawful basis and, for special-category information, an applicable Article 9 condition. Criminal-offence information will be processed only where permitted under applicable law and subject to appropriate safeguards.
We do not seek to collect such information unnecessarily.
4. Where we obtain information
We may receive personal information directly from you.
We may also obtain professional information from other legitimate sources, including:
—LinkedIn and other professional networking platforms;
—company websites;
—publicly accessible professional profiles;
—industry directories;
—referrals and recommendations;
—conferences and events;
—recruitment and talent databases;
—clients, candidates and business contacts;
—professional or background-check providers where appropriate; and
—other publicly available sources.
Where we obtain personal information from another source, we will provide privacy information as required by applicable law.
The ICO says that where personal data is obtained from other sources, privacy information generally must be provided within a reasonable period and no later than one month, subject to applicable exceptions.
5. How we use personal information
We may process personal information to:
Provide talent and recruitment services
Including identifying and assessing potential candidates, discussing opportunities, making introductions, managing recruitment processes and maintaining professional relationships.
Build and maintain our professional network
We operate exclusively within the Bitcoin ecosystem and maintain professional relationships with individuals and organisations relevant to our services.
Develop Talent Intelligence
We may analyse professional and market information to understand talent availability, skills, compensation, organisational development, hiring patterns and broader trends within the Bitcoin economy.
Where possible and appropriate, external research and market intelligence will use aggregated or anonymised information rather than identifiable personal information.
Serve clients
Including understanding client requirements, delivering services, communicating with client contacts and maintaining business relationships.
Deliver Treasury Advisory engagements
Where separately agreed with a client, we may process relevant business-contact and engagement information necessary to provide those services.
Publish Finite Intelligence
We may create research, reports, market analysis and other insights. We will not ordinarily publish identifiable candidate information without an appropriate lawful basis.
Communicate and market
We may send relevant business communications, Insights, research, event information and information about Finite's services where permitted by law.
Operate our business
Including administration, accounting, security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute management and improving our systems and services.
6. Our lawful bases
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely upon:
Contract — where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.
Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests or those of a third party and those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Our legitimate interests may include providing recruitment and talent services, identifying relevant professional talent, maintaining business relationships, understanding the Bitcoin talent market, developing our services, protecting our business and communicating relevant B2B information.
Legal obligation — where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
Consent — where consent is appropriate or legally required. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
Where special-category or criminal-offence information is processed, additional legal requirements apply.
The ICO requires organisations to determine and document their lawful basis and communicate relevant purposes and bases transparently.
7. Talent Intelligence and profiling
Finite's business involves understanding the movement and concentration of professional capability within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
We may therefore organise and analyse professional information relating to areas such as:
—experience;
—skills;
—seniority;
—professional specialisms;
—employment history;
—compensation and market benchmarks;
—geography; and
—publicly observable professional movements.
This may involve profiling for recruitment or market-intelligence purposes.
Finite does not intend to make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without appropriate safeguards and a lawful basis.
Human judgement remains central to our recruitment and advisory activities.
8. Sharing personal information
Where necessary and lawful, we may share information with:
—clients and prospective employers;
—technology, CRM and hosting providers;
—assessment and background-check providers;
—professional advisers, including lawyers and accountants;
—payment, accounting and administration providers;
—suppliers acting on our behalf;
—regulators, courts, law-enforcement bodies or public authorities where legally required;
—group companies; and
—potential purchasers, investors or advisers in connection with a legitimate corporate transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
We only disclose information where there is an appropriate reason to do so.
9. Candidate introductions
We will take reasonable steps to ensure candidate information is shared appropriately in connection with recruitment services.
Where appropriate, we will discuss an opportunity with a candidate before providing substantive candidate information to a prospective employer.
Specific recruitment processes may be governed by additional candidate or client terms.
10. International transfers
Finite operates internationally and some clients, candidates and technology providers may be located outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will ensure an appropriate legal mechanism is used where required, such as:
—UK adequacy regulations;
—the UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
—the UK Addendum to approved Standard Contractual Clauses; or
—another lawful transfer mechanism.
Information about applicable safeguards can be requested from us.
International transfers and applicable safeguards are among the information the ICO requires privacy notices to address where relevant.
11. How long we retain information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, regulatory, contractual and legitimate business requirements.
Retention periods may differ according to the nature of the information and our relationship with you.
Our retention decisions consider:
—whether we have an ongoing relationship with you;
—whether the information remains relevant to recruitment or professional opportunities;
—contractual requirements;
—applicable limitation periods;
—tax, accounting and regulatory requirements;
—legal disputes or claims; and
—your rights and reasonable expectations.
The ICO requires privacy notices to specify retention periods or, where fixed periods are not used, the criteria used to determine them.
12. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Access to personal information is restricted according to legitimate business need.
No internet-based system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Marketing
We may communicate with business contacts and other individuals about relevant Finite services, research, Insights and events where permitted by applicable law.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism provided or by contacting us.
Stopping marketing communications will not prevent us from contacting you where necessary for an existing business relationship, recruitment process or legal purpose.
14. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable lawful basis, you may have the right to:
—access personal information we hold about you;
—request correction of inaccurate information;
—request erasure;
—request restriction of processing;
—receive certain information in a portable format;
—object to certain processing;
—withdraw consent where processing relies on consent; and
—challenge certain automated decisions.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exemptions.
Your right to object
Where we process your personal information on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing in applicable circumstances.
You also have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal information for direct-marketing purposes.
This is intentionally prominent because ICO guidance says the right to object should be brought clearly and separately to individuals' attention.
To exercise your rights, contact:
hello@finite.global
We may need to verify your identity before responding.
15. Cookies
Our Website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, preferences and other purposes.
Non-essential cookies will be used only where permitted by applicable law and subject to any required consent.
Further information is available in our Cookie Notice.
16. Third-party websites
Our Website may contain links to external websites.
Finite is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. You should review their privacy notices separately.
17. Complaints
If you have concerns about our handling of personal information, please contact us first so that we can investigate.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection.

18. Changes to this Notice
We may update this Privacy Notice to reflect changes in our business, technology, processing activities or legal obligations.
Where a change materially affects how we use personal information, we will take appropriate steps to bring the change to affected individuals' attention.
The latest version will always be available on our Website.
