Global privacy notice.

Effective date: 28 August 2026 · Last reviewed: 28 August 2026

1. Controller and scope

Bethar Group S.r.l., Via Cefalonia 70, 25124 Brescia (BS), Italy, VAT and tax code IT04721580985, is the controller of personal information described in this notice. Privacy enquiries and rights requests may be sent to info@bethargroup.com with the subject “Privacy request”.

This notice applies to bethargroup.com, business correspondence and professional interactions with Bethar. It does not govern third-party websites, banks, advisers, laboratories, logistics providers or other independent organisations, which process information under their own notices.

2. Information we may process

Depending on the interaction, we may process identity and professional contact details; employer, role and authority; correspondence and enquiry content; transaction, counterparty and mandate information; due-diligence, KYC/KYB, beneficial-ownership, sanctions and compliance information where required; contractual, billing and payment-administration records; and technical security information such as IP address, device, browser, timestamps and server logs.

Please do not send special-category data, criminal-record information, identification documents, banking credentials or confidential deal documents through an initial website enquiry unless Bethar has requested them through an approved secure channel.

3. Website contact form and cookies

The website contact and enquiry forms operate locally in your browser. They prepare an email for your own email application and do not transmit or store the typed content on Bethar’s website. Information reaches Bethar only if you choose to send the email. The copy functions use your device clipboard at your request.

The site currently uses no advertising trackers, behavioural profiling tools or non-essential analytics cookies. The hosting and security infrastructure may nevertheless generate essential technical logs. If analytics, embedded third-party services, persistent cookies or server-side forms are introduced, this notice and any required consent mechanism must be updated before deployment.

4. Purposes and legal grounds

We process information to respond to enquiries and take requested pre-contractual steps; assess potential mandates and counterparties; perform contracts; administer professional relationships; meet legal, regulatory, sanctions, export-control, anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering and record-keeping obligations; establish, exercise or defend legal claims; secure our systems; and pursue legitimate business interests in operating and protecting an institutional trading platform, provided those interests are not overridden by individual rights.

Where the law requires consent, we rely on consent and it may be withdrawn prospectively at any time. We do not use website enquiries for solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.

5. Sources, recipients and international transfers

Information may come from you, your organisation, authorised representatives, counterparties, professional advisers, public registers, sanctions and corporate databases, and lawful due-diligence sources. On a need-to-know basis it may be disclosed to hosting and communications providers, banks, insurers, auditors, legal and tax advisers, compliance and due-diligence providers, laboratories, inspection and logistics providers, authorities, courts, and actual or prospective transaction parties where lawful and necessary.

Because Bethar evaluates cross-border activity, recipients may be outside your country. Where European or UK transfer restrictions apply, Bethar will use an applicable adequacy decision, approved contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism, together with supplementary measures where required. Information on the relevant safeguard may be requested using the contact above, subject to lawful redactions.

6. Retention and security

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, taking account of the status and sensitivity of an enquiry, contractual requirements, mandatory due-diligence and accounting periods, limitation periods, dispute preservation and regulatory obligations. Unqualified enquiries are reviewed for deletion when no longer operationally or legally required. A specific retention period may be provided for a defined transaction or regulated workflow.

We apply proportionate organisational and technical safeguards, access controls and confidentiality measures. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed absolutely secure; suspected misuse or unauthorised disclosure should be reported promptly.

7. Your rights

Subject to the law applicable to you, you may have rights to obtain information or access; correct inaccurate data; request deletion; restrict or object to processing; receive portable data; withdraw consent; opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising or profiling practices; and complain to a competent supervisory authority. Bethar does not currently sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

To exercise a right, email info@bethargroup.com. State your country or region, the right invoked and enough information to identify the relevant interaction. We may request proportionate verification and may retain a limited record of the request. Authorised-agent requests are accepted where required by law. We will not discriminate against a person for exercising an applicable privacy right.

8. Jurisdictional framework

EEA and Italy. The General Data Protection Regulation and applicable Italian law govern processing within their scope. Individuals may complain to the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali or another competent EEA authority.

United Kingdom. Where applicable, the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 apply, and individuals may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Switzerland. Where applicable, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection applies, including its transparency and information-access requirements.

United States. Residents may receive additional rights under California and other applicable state privacy laws. Bethar honours those rights where the relevant law applies to Bethar and the processing. As the website currently involves no sale, targeted advertising or cross-context behavioural advertising, there is no such website activity to opt out of.

Other jurisdictions. Where laws such as Brazil’s LGPD, Canada’s federal or provincial privacy laws, Australia’s Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles, Singapore’s PDPA, or another national privacy law applies, Bethar will process requests and apply safeguards required within that law’s scope. This section does not represent that every listed law applies to every interaction.

9. Children, updates and local notices

This institutional website is not directed to children, and Bethar does not knowingly solicit their personal information. Material changes to processing will be reflected in an updated notice and, where required, communicated directly or presented for renewed consent. A transaction, employment process or local operation may require a more specific privacy notice; that specific notice supplements this one and prevails for the processing it describes.
