Purposes and legal bases

Reviewing your request, getting back to you, arranging a meeting and following up the relationship: steps taken at your request before a contract and AAP's legitimate interest in developing its business relationships (Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).

Sending you an acknowledgement by email: the same bases.

Transfers outside the European Union

Your data is hosted in the European Union. AAP's partners access it remotely, from Mauritius and from the countries they travel to.

Cookies and other trackers

Without your consent, the website only uses what it needs to work: the NEXT_LOCALE cookie, which remembers your language until you close the browser; your cookie choice, stored for 6 months in the browser's local storage; and, after a request sent with the investor form or when you follow the meeting link of our email, the aap-meeting cookie, which gives you access to the meeting page and holds your last name, first name and email address, encrypted, kept for 30 days.

With your consent, the website loads Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to measure its audience. Google Analytics sets the _ga and _ga_<identifier> cookies, kept for 13 months at most.

You can accept or decline, and change your mind at any time with the “Manage cookies” link at the bottom of the page. Declining makes no difference to how you can use the website.

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to and port your data, to withdraw your consent at any time, and to set instructions for what happens to your data after your death.

To exercise them, write to contact@axiom-africa-partners.com: AAP replies within one month.

If you believe your rights are not respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL (https://www.cnil.fr), the data protection authority of your country or the Data Protection Office of Mauritius (https://dataprotection.govmu.org).
