4. How We Use Your Personal Data

We may process personal information for the following purposes:

  • responding to enquiries;
  • providing requested information;
  • communicating with prospective investors;
  • discussing research and development opportunities;
  • evaluating potential industrial applications;
  • communicating with research institutions and technology partners;

  • establishing, exercising or defending legal rights;
  • protecting Graphibre’s intellectual property and confidential information; and
  • complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where the EU GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data only where there is an appropriate lawful basis.

Depending upon the circumstances, this may include:

Legitimate interests – where processing is reasonably necessary for Graphibre’s legitimate business, research, technology-development, investment or commercial interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Contract or steps before entering into a contract – where processing is necessary to establish or perform a commercial, research, investment, supplier or other contractual relationship.

Legal obligation – where processing is necessary to comply with an applicable legal or regulatory requirement.

Consent – where we have specifically requested your consent for a particular activity. Where processing relies upon consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

6. Investor, Research and Commercial Enquiries

Graphibre’s website is intended in part to facilitate communication with prospective investors, industrial organisations, research institutions, universities, suppliers and prospective development partners.

If you submit an enquiry, we will use the information you provide to respond to that enquiry and, where appropriate, continue discussions concerning the subject of your request.

Submitting an enquiry does not automatically subscribe you to unrelated marketing communications.

Where appropriate, correspondence relating to investment, intellectual property, research collaboration, commercial development or contractual negotiations may be retained as part of Graphibre’s legitimate business records.

7. Email Updates and Information Requests

Where you request information or updates from Graphibre, we may use the email address you provide to supply the requested information and relevant subsequent communications.

Where consent is legally required for electronic marketing communications, we will obtain the appropriate consent.

You may ask us to stop sending non-essential communications at any time by contacting info@graphibre.com.

8. Sharing Your Personal Information

Graphibre does not sell or rent personal information.

We may disclose limited personal information where reasonably necessary to:

  • website hosting and IT service providers;
  • professional advisers;
  • research or development partners where relevant to an enquiry or collaboration;
  • contractors or service providers supporting Graphibre;
  • competent public authorities where disclosure is legally required; or
  • another party where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Service providers acting on our behalf are expected to process personal information only for the purposes for which it has been provided and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.

9. International Data Transfers

Graphibre has activities and contacts in both Belgium and the United Kingdom. Personal information may therefore be processed in, or transferred between, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom where necessary for Graphibre’s operations.

The European Commission renewed its GDPR adequacy decision for the United Kingdom on 19 December 2025, providing the relevant framework for EU personal-data transfers to the UK. European Commission

Where personal information is transferred to another country outside the EEA or United Kingdom, we will use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism where required by applicable data protection legislation.

10. Data Security

Graphibre takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • accidental loss;
  • misuse;
  • alteration;
  • unauthorised disclosure; and
  • destruction.

Access to personal information is limited to persons or service providers who have a legitimate reason to access it.

No internet transmission or electronic storage system can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. How Long We Keep Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, contractual, accounting, intellectual-property or regulatory requirements.

Retention periods therefore depend upon the nature of the information and our relationship with you.

Routine enquiries that do not result in an ongoing relationship may be deleted when they are no longer reasonably required.

Information associated with contracts, intellectual property, research collaborations, investment discussions, commercial relationships or legal obligations may need to be retained for longer periods.

When information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable.

12. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending upon the applicable legislation and circumstances, you may have rights concerning your personal data including:

  • the right to be informed about how your information is used;
  • the right of access to personal information held about you;
  • the right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • the right to erasure in applicable circumstances;
  • the right to restrict processing in applicable circumstances;
  • the right to object to certain processing;
  • the right to data portability where applicable; and
  • rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling, where applicable.

These rights are not absolute and their application depends upon the circumstances and lawful basis for processing. This is consistent with current ICO guidance on individual rights. ICO

Where we rely upon consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Your Right to Object

Where we process your personal information on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing in applicable circumstances.

You also have the right to object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.

To exercise your rights, contact:

info@graphibre.com

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request in order to protect your personal information.

13. Automated Decision-Making

Graphibre does not currently use personal information collected through this website to make solely automated decisions about individuals that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Graphibre’s research and development work involving artificial intelligence, sensing or adaptive engineering does not, merely by virtue of that technical research, mean that personal information submitted through this website is used for automated decision-making.

14. Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small data file that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

Graphibre may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for:

  • operation of the website;
  • website security;
  • maintaining website functionality;
  • preventing spam or malicious activity; and
  • remembering necessary website preferences.

Where non-essential cookies, analytics or other tracking technologies are used and applicable law requires consent, they will be activated only in accordance with the appropriate consent requirements.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may affect some website functions.

15. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Graphibre website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

Graphibre is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites. If you follow a link to another website, you should review that organisation’s privacy information before providing personal data.

16. Social Media

Graphibre may provide links to social-media or professional-networking platforms.

If you interact with Graphibre through a third-party platform, that platform may independently collect and process information about you under its own privacy policy.

Graphibre does not control the privacy practices of those platforms.

17. Children

The Graphibre website is directed toward professional, research, industrial and investment audiences and is not intended to collect personal information from children.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through this website.

18. Complaints

If you have concerns about the way Graphibre processes your personal information, please contact us first at:

info@graphibre.com

You also have the right, where applicable, to complain to the competent data protection supervisory authority.

For matters falling within Belgian/EU jurisdiction, the relevant Belgian supervisory authority is the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Autorité de protection des données / Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit).

For matters falling within UK jurisdiction, the relevant supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

19. Changes to This Privacy Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice periodically to reflect changes to our website, operations, technology, service providers or applicable legal requirements.

The current version will be published on this website together with its latest revision date.

Where a change materially affects the way we process personal information, we will take appropriate steps to bring that change to the attention of affected individuals where required.
