Privacy & Confidentiality

Discretion is not a policy. It is our architecture.

Confidentiality is not something we promise – it is something we are. The structure of ARISTÉ was designed from inception to ensure that information flows only where it must, remains only where it should, and disappears when it is no longer required. This is not a compliance exercise. It is our founding principle.

I · Information We Hold

We collect only what is necessary to serve you effectively. This includes contact details you provide, the nature of your requirements, and records of our engagements on your behalf. We do not harvest data. We do not build profiles for purposes beyond your service. We do not monetise information.

II · How Information Is Protected

Your information resides in compartmentalised systems accessible only to those directly involved in your service. We employ end-to-end encryption for all digital communications. Physical records, where they exist, are held in secure facilities with restricted access protocols.

Our team members operate under binding confidentiality agreements that extend beyond their tenure with us. Third parties engaged on your behalf receive only the minimum information necessary to execute their specific task.

III · Information We Never Disclose

We do not confirm or deny membership. We do not discuss the nature or details of any engagement. We do not provide client lists, references, or testimonials that could identify individuals without explicit, written consent – which we rarely request and even more rarely receive.

Requests from third parties, including legal entities, are directed to our counsel and handled with maximum resistance within the bounds of applicable law.

Our Confidentiality Architecture

Compartmentalisation

Information is segmented by function. Those who manage your travel do not access your financial arrangements. Those who source acquisitions do not see your personal calendar.

Minimal Footprint

We retain only what we need, for only as long as we need it. When an engagement concludes, associated records are archived or destroyed according to your preference.

Anonymous Execution

Where possible, actions taken on your behalf do not reveal your identity to counterparties. We act as principal, not agent, when discretion requires it.

Encrypted Communication

All digital correspondence occurs through encrypted channels. We accommodate Signal, ProtonMail, and other secure platforms at your preference.

IV · Your Rights

You may request a complete record of information we hold concerning you at any time. You may request correction of any inaccuracies. You may request deletion of your records, subject to legal retention requirements. Such requests will be honoured within fourteen days.

V · Jurisdiction & Governance

ARISTÉ LTD is incorporated in England and Wales. Our data handling practices comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. For members residing in other jurisdictions, we additionally observe applicable local requirements.

VI · Amendments

This document reflects our practices as of January 2026. Should material changes occur, members will be notified directly. We do not make changes that reduce the protection of your information.
