Privacy Policy
Upstream Advisory Consulting (UAC) treats the confidentiality of corporate, institutional and sovereign leaders as a professional obligation, not a compliance footnote.
Last updated · September 2026
Confidentiality
Executive confidentiality is non-negotiable.
All communications, strategic briefs, inquiry submissions and transactional data shared with UAC are treated under strict non-disclosure obligations. We do not sell, rent or commercialise executive information or organisational intelligence under any circumstances.
What we collect
Only what your engagement requires.
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when requesting a consultation, downloading publications or applying for advisory career programmes.
- Full name and work email
- Institution or organisation name
- Job title and geographic region
- The substance of your advisory mandate
How we use data
Your information routes work, not mailshots.
Information you provide is used strictly to deliver advisory value and nothing else.
- Route your inquiry to the relevant practice lead
- Prepare and deliver executive briefings
- Maintain the client portal experience
- Meet international financial-advisory regulatory obligations
Governance & security
Protected at rest, in transit and in use.
UAC employs enterprise-grade encryption and secure access protocols across our regional hubs in Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Kigali, Johannesburg and London. Access to sensitive material is limited to named partners and analysts bound by confidentiality agreements, and information is retained only for as long as an engagement requires it.
Your rights
Access, correct or erase at any time.
You may request access to, correction of or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. Write to our data protection lead and we will respond within one business day.
