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

01

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.

02

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
03

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
04

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.

05
