Cookies & Analytics
TSG's website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve functionality, analyse traffic patterns, and enhance your overall experience.
Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help TSG recognise returning visitors and understand how the site is used. Third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) may also be used, collecting usage data in an aggregated, anonymised form.
Your control: You may disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that doing so may affect certain website functionality and user experience features.
Information Sharing & Disclosure
TSG does not share your personal information broadly. Disclosure occurs only in limited, clearly defined circumstances:
- When required under applicable law, court order, or regulatory obligation
- To professional advisors, technology providers, or operational partners assisting in service delivery — subject to confidentiality obligations
- To protect TSG's legal rights, ensure platform security, or prevent misuse of services
All third-party service providers engaged by TSG are required to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security standards consistent with applicable law and TSG's internal policies.
Data Security
TSG implements commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorised access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
Important limitation: No electronic transmission or digital storage system can be guaranteed to be entirely secure. While TSG takes meaningful precautions, absolute security of information transmitted to or from the website cannot be warranted.
Data Retention
TSG retains personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. Specifically, information is retained:
- For the duration of an active service engagement
- For legitimate post-engagement business and administrative purposes
- To comply with legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory retention requirements
Once information is no longer required, TSG takes reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it.
