Privacy Policy

Updated as of January 21, 2026

Here is the updated Privacy Policy. I have shifted the language from singular (“I”, “me”) to collective (“We”, “Us”, “Our”) to reflect that Lex Strategist operates as a team.

1. Introduction

Welcome to www.lexstrategist.com (“Website”). This Privacy Policy explains how Lex Strategist (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles your information.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Unlike many other websites, we do not use cookies, trackers, or analytics tools to actively collect your personal data. You can visit this Website without revealing who you are.

Personal information is only processed when you voluntarily provide it to us. This policy outlines how that information is treated, specifically regarding confidentiality and GDPR compliance.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

We only collect information that you freely give to us. This usually occurs when you:

  • Email us directly.
  • Send us a message through a messaging platform.
  • Share documents or details in anticipation of a professional engagement.

B. Technical Data (Server Logs)

While we do not track you, the hosting server for this Website may automatically log standard technical information for security and maintenance purposes (e.g., IP address, browser type). This data is used solely to ensure the security and stability of the Website.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we rely on the following legal bases to process your data:

  1. Consent: By contacting us, you voluntarily grant us consent to process the information you provide so that we may respond.
  2. Contractual Necessity: If you engage our services, processing your information is necessary to finalize and execute our agreement.
  3. Legitimate Interests: We process data to maintain professional records, ensure website security, and—in the case of corporate clients—for business development (see Section 5).

4. Confidentiality and Personal Data

Any personal information (data identifying a living individual) you share with us is kept strictly confidential.

We use your personal data solely to:

  • Respond to your inquiries.
  • Execute our professional engagement.
  • Manage our client relationship with you.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Access to your information is restricted to our team members and, if necessary for the engagement, strictly vetted professional advisers who are also bound by confidentiality obligations.

5. Marketing and Portfolio (Corporate Entities Only)

While personal data remains strictly confidential, different standards apply to business entities.

If you represent a corporation, organization, or legal entity:

Unless we have agreed otherwise in writing, we reserve the right to disclose your company name and logo as part of our professional portfolio or client list for marketing purposes only.

This disclosure is limited to acknowledging the existence of a professional relationship and does not extend to the details of the work performed, which remain confidential. If you prefer that your company name not be listed, please notify us in writing.

6. Data Retention (Client Files)

In accordance with your instructions and professional standards:

  • During Engagement: Your data is retained for the duration of our professional relationship to fulfill the agreed-upon services.
  • Post-Engagement: After our engagement ends, your information shall remain confidential and will be retained as part of our client data/files.
    • We retain these records to comply with legal obligations (such as tax/accounting laws) and for legitimate professional interests (such as conflict checking).
    • Once the required retention period has expired (typically 6–7 years), files may be securely destroyed.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure: You can ask to see, correct, or delete your personal data (subject to our legal record-keeping obligations).
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us directly.
