Privacy Policy
Keown & Associates is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who communicate with the firm through this website. This policy outlines how information submitted through the website is handled.
Information Submitted Through the Website
Visitors may choose to submit information through the website's enquiry form or through direct email contact. This information may include a name, organisation, contact details, and the nature of the enquiry.
This information is provided voluntarily by the visitor.
Use of Information
Information submitted through an enquiry or direct email is used solely for responding to enquiries and evaluating potential advisory engagements. An enquiry does not subscribe anyone to the briefing.
Submitted information is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Optional Security Decisions Briefing
The quarterly Security decisions briefing is separate from an enquiry or consultation. We do not add enquiry contacts to the briefing list. If you choose to sign up, we collect your name, work email, organisation, role, the consent wording and version you agreed to, and the time of consent. We use these details only to confirm your email, manage the briefing subscription, and send the briefing when an issue is prepared.
Your email must be confirmed before the subscription becomes active. Confirmation links expire after 48 hours. Unconfirmed signup details, including requests for which email delivery fails, are removed automatically roughly one to two hours after the link expires while the service runs, or when it next starts. We retain confirmed details while you are subscribed. Each confirmation message and briefing includes a unique unsubscribe link. On withdrawal, we remove your name, organisation and role, and retain your email address and dated consent and withdrawal record to prevent accidental re-addition. A withdrawn address cannot sign up again through this form. You may contact us to request deletion of that remaining record or to discuss signing up again.
The website's email delivery service processes confirmation messages on our behalf. Your briefing details are not added to the enquiry database or used for unrelated marketing.
Confidentiality and Professional Discretion
Keown & Associates recognises that many enquiries relate to sensitive security matters. Information submitted through the website is treated with professional discretion.
However, visitors should avoid including highly sensitive operational details in initial website enquiries.
Information Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are taken to protect information submitted through the website. Nevertheless, no method of internet communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
External Links
This website may occasionally reference external publications or resources. Keown & Associates is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
Policy Updates
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect operational or regulatory changes. The most current version will always be published on this website.

Questions relating to this privacy policy may be directed to the firm through the contact information provided on this website.
