- Contract — where processing is necessary to fulfil a service agreement with you
- Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable law or regulatory requirements

5. Cross-Border Data Transfers
BGI operates in Canada and serves clients across the Gulf region, including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Personal information collected from individuals in these jurisdictions may be transferred to and processed in Canada.
Where such transfers occur, BGI takes reasonable steps to ensure that your information receives an equivalent level of protection to that required in your home jurisdiction. By using this website or engaging our services, you acknowledge and consent to this transfer.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal information is securely deleted or anonymized.
