3. Relationship to Cambridge LLP

This Site is a personal professional website for information and marketing purposes. It is separate from the main Cambridge LLP website.

This Policy is focused on information collected through ruzbehhosseini.com only.

    • To comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process

6. International Transfers

Your personal information may be stored and processed in Canada and in other jurisdictions where our service providers are located. As a result, your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, which may differ from the laws in your home jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for cross-border transfers of personal information.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy or as required or permitted by law. Factors that influence retention periods include:

  • The nature of your inquiry or relationship with us
  • Legal, regulatory, and professional obligations (for example, record-keeping requirements)
  • Security, fraud-prevention, and risk-management considerations

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy it or anonymize it.

8. How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable physical, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you share information at your own risk. For particularly sensitive or confidential information, we encourage you to contact us to arrange a more secure method of communication.

  • Withdrawal of consent – where we rely on consent (for example, marketing emails), you can withdraw your consent at any time
  • Deletion or restriction – in certain circumstances, to request that we delete or restrict the use of your information
