Privacy notice.
How MCL handles information shared through this website and enquiries about our services.
Last revised 3 November 2026.

Who is responsible
Kai McLaren, trading as MCL Asset Curation & Management, is responsible for your personal information. For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@mclreserve.com. Our Website terms include our business contact details.
- 02
Information we use
We use the name, contact details, enquiry and any optional asset or service information you choose to provide. We also use limited technical information to operate the website, deliver messages and prevent misuse. Required fields are marked; without a way to contact you and enough information about your request, we may be unable to respond. Please do not send identity documents, bank details or exact asset-storage locations through the initial enquiry form.
- 03
Why we use it
We use your enquiry to understand what you need, respond and arrange the next steps. Where you ask us to take steps towards a service agreement with you, we use information necessary for those steps on the contract lawful basis. For other correspondence, including contact through a company or representative, we rely on our legitimate interests in answering relevant enquiries and managing business relationships. We also have legitimate interests in securing the website, preventing abuse and maintaining proportionate records of correspondence. An enquiry does not add you to a marketing list.
- 04
Current status
You can make an enquiry using the online form when available, or contact MCL directly by email, telephone or WhatsApp.
- 05
Who receives it
Authorised people supporting MCL may access information needed to handle your request. We use Lovable and its hosting/database providers to operate the website, and Google Workspace to receive and manage correspondence. When the online enquiry form is enabled, we use Resend to deliver form messages. If you contact us through WhatsApp, that service also processes information under its own terms and privacy notice. Service providers process information under the applicable data-protection arrangements. If progressing your request involves an external dealer, specialist or professional adviser, we explain the relevant sharing before that step, unless disclosure is required by law. We do not sell enquiry information.
- 06
Processing outside the UK
Our providers may process information outside the UK, including in Europe and the United States. For restricted transfers, the applicable arrangements use UK adequacy regulations or contractual safeguards, including the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses where relevant. You can request more information, or a copy of the relevant safeguards, at privacy@mclreserve.com.
- 07
How long we keep it
We review enquiries that have not led to an engagement after six months without substantive contact. We delete information no longer needed, retaining it longer only for a documented active follow-up, complaint, legal obligation or legal claim. We review any continued retention rather than keeping enquiries indefinitely. Technical delivery-attempt records older than seven days and abuse-prevention counters older than one day are removed by scheduled daily cleanup; this does not delete email correspondence. If you become a client, we explain the recordkeeping relevant to the agreed service separately.
- 08
Your choices and rights
Depending on the circumstances, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction or a portable copy of your information. You also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact privacy@mclreserve.com; we may need proportionate information to confirm your identity. You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/. We assess enquiries through human review and do not make solely automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.
