1. Who we are

A and F Advisory Firm ("we", "us") provides academic, financial, and business and corporate advisory services from Tema Community 24, Ghana. This policy explains how we handle personal information when you use our website, contact us, book a consultation, or become a client.

  • Appointment information: requested dates, times, consultation methods and the notes you share.
  • Client communications: messages exchanged with our advisory team through the client portal.
  • Uploaded documents: files you choose to share with us as part of an engagement.
  • Payment records: invoices, amounts, payment methods and references. We do not store raw card details.

We aim to collect only the information necessary to provide our services. We do not ask for sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely needed for your engagement.

3. How we use your information

  • To respond to your enquiries and arrange consultations.
  • To provide, manage and deliver advisory services you engage us for.

Advisory work is confidential. Information about your engagement is accessible only to the team members working on your matter and those who need it for administration. We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except as required by law or with your explicit consent.

5. Storage and security

Your information is stored in secured systems with access controls. Client documents are stored privately and accessed only through authenticated, authorized downloads. Passwords are never stored in our application systems. Where you choose online card payments, payment details are handled by the payment provider and are not stored by us.

6. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as needed to provide services and to meet legal and accounting requirements. Specific retention periods will be confirmed by the firm as part of the finalization of this policy. Placeholder: retention periods to be confirmed.
