Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

This website, www.gcc-offshore.com, is operated by GCC Offshore, a division of Global Citizen Consulting (together, “we”, “us”, “our”). We provide international structuring services, including company formation, trusts, foundations, trustee services, and banking introductions.

This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website and in the course of providing our services, why we collect it, and how we handle it. Questions about this policy can be sent to contact@globalcitizenconsult.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to respond to you and to deliver our services:

• Contact details you submit through our contact form or by email: name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Order details you submit when placing an order: name, email address, country of residence, phone number (optional), and any notes you include.
• Due-diligence (KYC) documentation provided during an engagement: identification documents, proof of address, professional background, and source-of-funds information. This is collected securely and only after you become a client.
• Payment information is processed entirely by Stripe, our payment processor. Card numbers never reach or pass through our systems, and we do not store them.
• Basic technical logs generated by our hosting provider (such as IP address and pages requested), used for security and operation of the site.

3. What We Do Not Do

• We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information — ever.
• We do not use advertising trackers or third-party marketing cookies on this website.
• We do not add you to mailing lists or send marketing without your explicit consent.
• We do not share your information with anyone except as described in section 5.

4. Why We Process Your Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

• To answer your inquiries and provide consultations you request.
• To perform the services you order: forming entities, establishing trusts and foundations, and arranging banking relationships.
• To meet legal obligations, including anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer requirements that apply to us and to the registered agents, trustees, and banks we work with.
• To process payments, issue receipts, and maintain accounting records.
• To protect the security of this website and prevent fraud or abuse.

5. Who We Share Information With

Delivering international services requires sharing specific information with the parties who legally need it. Depending on your engagement, this may include registered agents, corporate registries, licensed trustees, notaries, and banks or financial institutions in the relevant jurisdictions — strictly to the extent required to establish and maintain your structure or account.

We also use a small number of service providers to operate this website: Stripe (payment processing), an email delivery provider (to route contact-form messages to us), and our website hosting provider. Each receives only the data necessary for its function.

We may disclose information where required by law, court order, or a regulator with jurisdiction over us. Beyond the cases above, your information is not shared with anyone.

6. International Transfers

By the nature of our services, information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions other than your own — for example, when a registered agent in Belize or a bank in Monaco requires your due-diligence file. We transmit such information through secure channels and share it only with regulated or professionally accountable recipients.

7. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes above. Note that anti-money-laundering laws require us and our partners to retain client identification and transaction records for a legally mandated period (commonly five years or more) after an engagement ends. Inquiry messages that do not lead to an engagement are deleted within a reasonable period.

8. Security

This website is served exclusively over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Payments are handled by Stripe on PCI-DSS-compliant infrastructure. Due-diligence documents are exchanged through secure means and access to client information within our firm is restricted to the advisors working on your engagement.

9. Your Rights

Subject to the legal retention requirements described above, you may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccuracies, ask us to delete information we are not legally required to keep, and object to or restrict certain processing. Depending on where you live, these rights may be granted by specific legislation (such as the GDPR for residents of the European Economic Area).

To exercise any of these rights, email contact@globalcitizenconsult.com. We respond to all requests within one month. If you believe we have mishandled your information, you also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

10. Cookies

This website uses only the cookies strictly necessary for it to function. We do not use analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies. Third-party pages you are redirected to (such as Stripe’s payment page) apply their own cookie policies.

11. Children

Our services are directed at adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and will delete any such information upon becoming aware of it.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date below reflects the latest revision, and material changes will be noted on this page. Continued use of the website after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
