How We Use Your Information
BOS Diagnostic Data
We use your diagnostic data to:
- Generate and deliver a personalised BOS Roof Health Report to the email address you provide. This is a transactional communication you have requested by submitting the diagnostic.
- Store your assessment responses so that they are available as reference material during any subsequent Discovery Session you may choose to book.
- Where you have given separate consent, contact you about your diagnostic results and relevant governance advisory services.
- Use the combination of your IP address and email address to prevent duplicate submissions. We do not use your IP address for any other purpose in connection with the diagnostic.
Newsletter Subscription
We use your email address to send the newsletter and related governance insights you have subscribed to receive. You may unsubscribe at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email.
Contact Form and Discovery Session Requests
We use the information you provide in the contact form to:
- Respond to your enquiry;
- Where requested, schedule a Discovery Session or conversation;
- Keep a reasonable record of enquiries for operational and audit purposes.
We do not use contact form data for unsolicited marketing outside the scope of your enquiry.
Feedback Drawer Submissions
We use feedback drawer data to improve the Website and L&P's service content. Feedback is treated as L&P intellectual property pursuant to the Terms of Service.
Browser and Analytics Data
We use analytics data in aggregate to understand Website traffic, improve content relevance and diagnose technical issues. We do not use browser data to build individual user profiles or to target advertising.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on the following legal grounds:
- Consent. Newsletter subscription, follow-up contact about diagnostic results (where the separate consent checkbox is ticked), and analytics cookies are processed on the basis of your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interest. We process BOS Diagnostic data (name, role, email, company, responses and IP address) based on our legitimate interest in qualifying business-to-business leads, delivering the Roof Health Report you have requested, and enforcing fair-use of the diagnostic tool. This processing is proportionate, expected by an individual submitting a business diagnostic, and does not override your rights.
- Legitimate interest. We process contact form data based on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and operating a client-development function. This is proportionate and expected.
- Legitimate interest. We process feedback drawer data based on our legitimate interest in improving the Website and our service content.
- Legal obligation. Where we are required to retain or disclose personal data to comply with applicable law, we process on that basis.
Data Retention
| Data category | Retention period | |---|---| | BOS Diagnostic submissions (name, role, email, company, responses, score) | 24 months from date of submission, unless you become an active L&P client (in which case engagement-letter retention terms apply) | | IP addresses captured at diagnostic submission | 12 months, solely for duplicate-submission prevention | | Newsletter subscriber list | Until you unsubscribe, or 24 months of no opens/interactions, whichever is earlier | | Contact form submissions | 24 months from date of last interaction, unless you become an active L&P client | | Feedback drawer submissions | 24 months from date of submission | | Browser and analytics data | Up to 14 months (Google Analytics default); aggregated hosting-platform analytics retained for the duration of our use of that platform | | Cookie consent record | 12 months |
After the applicable retention period, personal data is deleted or anonymised. You may request earlier deletion by exercising your rights below.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes. We share data only with the following service providers (sub-processors), who process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect your information:
| Sub-processor | Purpose | Data processed | Hosting location | |---|---|---|---| | Supabase | Website hosting, database, authentication | Diagnostic submissions, newsletter list, contact form submissions, feedback, session data | Singapore (ap-southeast-1) | | Google Analytics (Google LLC) | Website analytics | Browser data, usage patterns (anonymised) | United States | | Resend | Transactional and newsletter email delivery | Email addresses, message content | United States |
We require all sub-processors to maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data and to process it only in accordance with our instructions.
International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside your country of residence:
- Singapore — for hosting, database and authentication services provided by Supabase (ap-southeast-1 region);
- United States — for analytics (Google LLC) and transactional / newsletter email delivery (Resend).
Where such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (where required under the GDPR or UK GDPR) and the corresponding safeguards required under the Thailand PDPA, the Vietnam PDPD and the Hong Kong PDPO.
Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, providing an additional layer of assurance for analytics data transferred to the United States under Google Analytics.
Singapore provides a comparable statutory framework for the protection of personal data under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 ("PDPA Singapore"). For transfers of EU or UK personal data to Singapore, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure GDPR-equivalent protection.
AI-Assisted Content
The Website publishes weekly governance insights that are generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence from curated public sources (published articles, reports and publicly available professional commentary). This content is labelled as AI-assisted in accordance with applicable transparency obligations, including the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689).
No personal data from Website visitors or subscribers is used as input for generating AI-assisted content. Diagnostic responses are processed algorithmically to produce the Roof Health Report — they are not used to train any AI model and are not shared with any generative AI service.
Insights and diagnostic outputs are informational and do not constitute professional advice.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access — confirmation of whether we process your personal data and a copy of that data;
- Rectification — correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Erasure — deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for continued processing;
- Restriction — restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
- Data portability — export in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format;
- Objection — where processing is based on legitimate interest, you may object; we will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds;
- Withdrawal of consent — where processing is based on consent, withdrawable at any time (withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing);
- Complaint — to a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction, for example the relevant Data Protection Authority in the EEA, the Personal Data Protection Committee in Thailand, or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data in Hong Kong.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at: privacy@lyoenandpartners.com
We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and regular review of our security practices. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
The Website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Material changes will be communicated through the Website.
