This Privacy Policy explains how Vanthorpe Advisors Ltd., a British Columbia company operating through the Fast Offshore brand, collects, uses, stores, discloses, transfers, and protects personal information and business information in connection with our website, client services, regulatory support services, corporate services, compliance administration, due diligence, licensing advisory, application coordination, administrative support, and related professional services.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, references to “Vanthorpe,” “Fast Offshore,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean Vanthorpe Advisors Ltd., operating through the Fast Offshore brand, unless the context requires otherwise.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through fastoffshore.com, email, online forms, client onboarding processes, compliance reviews, application files, payment communications, correspondence, and other interactions with us.

Vanthorpe Advisors Ltd. is a British Columbia private-sector organization. British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by private-sector organizations, and PIPEDA establishes federal fair information principles including accountability, identifying purposes, consent, limiting collection, limiting use, disclosure and retention, accuracy, safeguards, openness, individual access, and challenging compliance.

  • your consent;
  • performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps;
  • compliance with legal, regulatory, licensing, accounting, tax, AML/KYC, or professional obligations;
  • legitimate business interests;
  • protection of our legal rights;

Under Canadian privacy principles, organizations must identify purposes for collection, limit collection to what is necessary, and limit use, disclosure, and retention to the purposes for which the information was collected unless consent or law permits otherwise.

By contacting us, submitting information, using our website, engaging our services, requesting services through an intermediary, or providing information for a client, applicant, licensee, company, director, shareholder, beneficial owner, officer, manager, employee, or representative, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, and retention of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

You may withdraw consent where consent is the applicable legal basis, subject to legal, contractual, regulatory, compliance, recordkeeping, or service-delivery limitations. Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide services.

We may also disclose information where required or permitted by law, regulation, court order, subpoena, contractual obligation, regulatory requirement, licensing condition, or lawful authority request.

7. International Transfers

Vanthorpe Advisors Ltd. is based in Canada, but our business is international. Information may be collected, processed, stored, accessed, disclosed, or transferred in multiple jurisdictions depending on the services requested, the location of the client or applicant, the jurisdiction of incorporation or licensing, the location of service providers, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Information may be transferred to or processed in jurisdictions including, without limitation:

  • Anjouan;
  • Belize;
  • British Virgin Islands;
  • Canada;
  • Costa Rica;
  • Cyprus;
  • the Czech Republic;
  • the European Union;
  • Gibraltar;
  • Malta;
  • Curaçao;
  • Nevis;
  • the United Kingdom;
  • the United States;
  • and other jurisdictions where we, our affiliates, service providers, professional advisors, regulatory contacts, licensing authorities, corporate service providers, banks, payment institutions, technology providers, or counterparties provide services to us, to our clients, or in connection with a client matter.

Some jurisdictions may have privacy, data protection, confidentiality, regulatory, or government-access rules that differ from those in Canada. Where information is transferred outside Canada, it may be subject to the laws of the destination jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, regulators, law enforcement, government agencies, or other authorities in that jurisdiction.

By providing information to us or engaging our services, you acknowledge and consent to such international transfers where reasonably required for service delivery, compliance, regulatory, contractual, legal, or business purposes.

8. Regulatory and Compliance Transfers

Because our services often involve regulated industries, licensing applications, corporate administration, banking, payment processing, due diligence, AML/KYC, website validation, responsible gaming, or other compliance-related matters, we may be required to share information with licensing authorities, regulatory bodies, government agencies, registered agents, financial institutions, compliance reviewers, professional advisors, or other counterparties.

This may include disclosure of identification documents, beneficial ownership information, corporate records, source-of-funds information, source-of-wealth information, website details, business plans, compliance policies, declarations, certificates, application forms, adverse media findings, sanctions screening results, complaint records, or correspondence.

We may refuse, suspend, or terminate services where required information is not provided, where information appears inaccurate or incomplete, where a client or applicant fails due diligence, or where we determine that continuing to act would present unacceptable legal, regulatory, reputational, commercial, or compliance risk.

9. Sales Partners, Intermediaries, and Third-Party Instructions

Where a client, applicant, or licensee is introduced by a sales partner, referral partner, consultant, lawyer, accountant, corporate service provider, or other intermediary, we may collect information from and disclose information to that intermediary as reasonably necessary to administer the relationship, provide services, manage billing, coordinate applications, respond to compliance issues, or confirm service status.

If an intermediary submits a request, application, or file on behalf of a client or applicant, we may rely on that intermediary’s representation that it is authorized to provide the information and receive communications relating to the matter.

We may also communicate directly with the underlying client, applicant, company, director, shareholder, beneficial owner, officer, manager, or authorized representative where we consider this necessary for due diligence, compliance, regulatory, contractual, legal, or service-delivery reasons.

10. Retention of Information

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by law, regulation, contract, regulatory expectation, accounting rules, tax rules, AML/KYC obligations, limitation periods, dispute management, audit requirements, or legitimate business purposes.

Because our services may involve licensing, corporate administration, regulatory matters, due diligence, AML/KYC records, beneficial ownership records, contractual records, payment records, complaint records, and legal risk management, certain information may be retained for extended periods after a matter concludes.

PIPEDA’s limiting use, disclosure, and retention principle provides that personal information should be kept only as long as required to serve the purposes for which it was collected, unless further retention is permitted by consent or required by law.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, destroy, anonymize, archive, or restrict access to it, subject to technical, legal, regulatory, accounting, backup, and operational limitations.

11. Accuracy of Information

We rely on clients, applicants, licensees, representatives, intermediaries, service providers, and other parties to provide accurate, complete, and current information.

You must promptly notify us of any material changes to information previously provided, including changes to ownership, directors, shareholders, beneficial owners, officers, managers, business activities, websites, domains, operating jurisdictions, contact details, source of funds, regulatory status, adverse media, sanctions exposure, or other relevant compliance information.

We may take reasonable steps to verify information, but we are not responsible for inaccuracies resulting from false, incomplete, outdated, or misleading information provided to us by clients, applicants, representatives, intermediaries, or third parties.

12. Security Safeguards

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification, loss, theft, or destruction.

These safeguards may include:

  • restricted access to client files;
  • password-protected systems;
  • access controls;
  • secure cloud platforms;
  • encrypted communications where appropriate;
  • internal confidentiality obligations;
  • staff training;
  • due diligence on service providers;
  • document management controls;
  • secure backup and retention procedures.

No method of electronic transmission, storage, email communication, internet communication, or cloud processing is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Clients and representatives are responsible for using secure methods when sending sensitive documents and should avoid transmitting sensitive information through insecure channels.

13. Cookies, Analytics, and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • operate the website;
  • remember preferences;
  • improve performance;
  • understand website usage;
  • measure traffic;
  • protect against spam, abuse, fraud, or unauthorized access;
  • support forms, analytics, CRM, ticketing, email communication, and marketing tools.

We may use third-party tools and platforms, including customer relationship management systems, website analytics providers, hosting providers, CRM providers, email platforms, ticketing systems, security tools, anti-spam tools, form tools, and similar services.

These tools may include HubSpot or similar CRM and marketing platforms. Such providers may collect, store, or process information such as names, email addresses, company details, telephone numbers, inquiry details, form submissions, communication history, IP addresses, browser details, device information, usage data, cookie identifiers, email engagement data, and website interaction data.

We use these tools to manage inquiries, maintain client and prospect records, respond to communications, administer service requests, manage sales partner and referral relationships, send permitted business communications, improve website functionality, and maintain appropriate business records.

You may adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

14. Email Communications

If you contact us by email, submit a form, request information, become a client, or interact with us through a sales partner or intermediary, we may use your contact details to respond, provide services, send administrative communications, issue invoices, request documents, provide service updates, or send relevant business communications.

We may also send marketing or informational communications where permitted by law. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism where provided or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent us from sending service-related, legal, regulatory, compliance, billing, or administrative communications.

15. Confidentiality and Protected Business Information

We treat client information, application materials, compliance records, corporate information, due diligence documents, and business communications as confidential, subject to applicable law, contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, service requirements, and this Privacy Policy.

We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Communications with us are not lawyer-client communications and should not be assumed to be legally privileged. Where legal advice or legal privilege is required, clients should consult qualified legal counsel directly.

Confidentiality does not prevent us from disclosing information where disclosure is reasonably necessary for:

  • providing services;
  • conducting due diligence;
  • coordinating corporate, compliance, licensing, or regulatory support matters;
  • submitting information to regulators, licensing authorities, registered agents, corporate service providers, banks, payment providers, compliance providers, or professional advisors;
  • complying with applicable law, regulation, court order, subpoena, AML/KYC requirements, sanctions obligations, or regulatory requirements;
  • protecting our rights, reputation, systems, personnel, clients, or business;
  • preventing fraud, impersonation, misuse of documents, misuse of our brand, or unlawful activity;
  • enforcing agreements;
  • responding to claims, disputes, investigations, complaints, or lawful authority requests.

16. Client Files and Regulatory Records

Client files may contain personal information, corporate information, commercial information, regulatory information, due diligence materials, legal documents, accounting information, website records, payment records, and correspondence.

Where we administer or support licensing, recognition, compliance, complaint, validation, or regulatory platforms, we may maintain records necessary to evidence compliance, service delivery, regulatory status, website validation, complaint handling, payment status, license status, or related matters.

These records may be shared with relevant authorities, service providers, or counterparties where reasonably necessary or required.

17. Information About Other Individuals

Where you provide us with personal information about another individual, including a director, shareholder, beneficial owner, officer, employee, consultant, manager, applicant, licensee, representative, family member, or business associate, you are responsible for ensuring that:

  • the information is accurate and complete;
  • you have authority to provide it;
  • the individual has been informed where required;
  • the individual consents where consent is required;
  • the information may be used, disclosed, transferred, and retained as described in this Privacy Policy.

18. Access, Correction, and Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information that we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information, or ask questions about our privacy practices.

We may require sufficient information to verify your identity and authority before responding to any access, correction, or privacy-related request.

Access may be refused, limited, or delayed where permitted or required by law, including where disclosure would reveal confidential commercial information, personal information about another person, regulatory information, compliance records, due diligence records, investigation records, security information, internal risk assessments, legally protected information, or information that cannot reasonably be separated from other protected records.

We may also refuse, limit, or delay access where a request is frivolous, vexatious, abusive, excessive, disproportionate, made in bad faith, or where responding would unreasonably interfere with our ability to protect our rights, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, prevent fraud, conduct due diligence, manage risk, or administer client files.

Where information is inaccurate or incomplete, and where we are satisfied that a correction is appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to correct the information. Where we do not agree that a correction is required, we may note the request on the relevant file where appropriate.

Certain records may need to be retained even after an access, correction, deletion, or objection request, including records required for contractual, legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, AML/KYC, sanctions, compliance, audit, dispute-resolution, risk-management, or legitimate business purposes.

To make an access, correction, or privacy-related request, please contact us using the details in Section 25 below.

19. EU, EEA, UK, and Other International Privacy Rights

Where applicable data protection laws provide additional rights, including in the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or similar jurisdictions, individuals may have rights to:

  • access personal data;
  • correct inaccurate personal data;
  • request deletion;
  • restrict processing;
  • object to processing;
  • request data portability;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

These rights are subject to limitations, including where information must be retained for legal, regulatory, contractual, compliance, AML/KYC, tax, accounting, dispute-resolution, or legitimate business purposes.

Where we process information in connection with business advisory services, regulatory support, compliance administration, corporate services support, licensing application coordination, or due diligence, we may be unable to delete or restrict certain records where retention is required or reasonably necessary.

20. Children

Our website and services are intended for business clients, professional intermediaries, companies, applicants, licensees, directors, shareholders, beneficial owners, officers, managers, and adult representatives.

We do not knowingly provide services to children or knowingly collect personal information from children for general website purposes. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate authority or lawful basis, we will take reasonable steps to delete or restrict such information, subject to legal, regulatory, contractual, and recordkeeping requirements.

21. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website, emails, documents, or client communications may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, regulators, registries, service providers, payment providers, banks, corporate service providers, or other external resources.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, accuracy, or policies of third-party websites or services. You should review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you use.

22. Professional Advisors and Service Providers

We may engage lawyers, accountants, auditors, tax advisors, consultants, IT providers, hosting providers, CRM providers, email providers, ticketing system providers, compliance screening providers, document management providers, banks, payment service providers, and other third-party service providers.

These providers may process information on our behalf or as independent service providers, depending on the circumstances. We use reasonable efforts to engage reputable providers and to limit information shared with them to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

23. Business Transfers and Restructuring

We may disclose or transfer information in connection with a proposed or completed business transfer, restructuring, financing, merger, acquisition, sale of assets, transfer of client contracts, change of control, reorganization, or similar transaction.

In such cases, information may be disclosed to prospective or actual purchasers, successors, assignees, advisors, lenders, auditors, or other parties involved in the transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections where reasonable.

24. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, services, legal obligations, technology, regulatory requirements, or privacy practices.

The updated version will be posted on our website with a revised effective date. Continued use of our website or services after an updated Privacy Policy is posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law.
