Data controllers within DSG ensure that handling complies with Colombian regulation, international data transfer standards and obligations derived from diplomatic agreements.

Information we collect

We collect identification, contact and itinerary information about passengers, principals, support staff and other stakeholders designated by the contracting organization.

Operational data such as routes, protection requirements, risk assessments, service feedback and payment references are also documented to coordinate missions safely.

  • Security profiles, advance notes and logistical preferences necessary to design protection layers.
  • Vehicle, aircraft and accommodation requirements shared with our vetted providers.
  • Billing contacts, invoicing instructions and compliance documentation requested by authorities.

How we use information

Information is processed solely to plan, confirm and execute transportation, protection and concierge assignments requested by the client.

We restrict access to operational teams that require the data and maintain monitoring systems to detect unauthorized use.

  • Coordinating chauffeurs, escorts, command center personnel and partner agencies involved in the mission.
  • Validating access with airports, hotels, governmental agencies and private venues.
  • Complying with legal reporting duties, insurance requirements and audit trails.
  • Providing status updates, emergency communications and post-service reports.

Data sharing and retention

We only share data with suppliers and authorities that are indispensable for mission fulfillment and who subscribe to confidentiality agreements.

Records are retained for the duration of the contractual relationship plus the period required by law or institutional policy.

  • Background checked transportation and security partners bound by NDA.
  • International liaison offices for cross-border coordination when authorized by the client.
  • Regulatory agencies, insurance carriers and financial institutions when a legal basis applies.

  • Phone: +57 311 219 3196
  • Physical address available upon formal request for security reasons.

Terms and conditions

These conditions govern reservations, mission execution and the mutual responsibilities between DSG and its clients.

Custom statements of work, mission orders and membership agreements may include complementary provisions that prevail over general clauses when expressly approved by both parties.

Service scope and deliverables

Each engagement is defined by the proposal, service order or membership tier purchased. DSG delivers the resources, vehicles, protection teams and logistics described in those documents.

Modifications requested during execution will be coordinated subject to availability, security feasibility and acceptance of any additional costs.

  • Executive sedans, SUVs, armored vehicles and specialized units with professional drivers.
  • Close protection agents, advance teams, command center monitoring and emergency response.
  • Mission planning, site inspections, protocol liaison and concierge arrangements.

Client responsibilities

Clients guarantee the accuracy of passenger manifests, schedules and risk information provided to DSG.

The contracting party must ensure compliance with applicable laws, including those related to import/export of equipment and diplomatic immunities.

  • Share timely updates about itinerary changes, special requests or security alerts.
  • Provide safe working conditions for DSG personnel and cooperate with protective measures.
  • Process payments according to the agreed timeline and currency, including deposits when required.

Liability and force majeure

DSG maintains insurance and contingency protocols aligned with industry standards; however, liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific service affected unless mandatory law states otherwise.

Neither party is responsible for delays or failures caused by force majeure events such as severe weather, civil unrest, governmental restrictions or airspace closures.

Cancellations and termination

Cancellation terms depend on the service type, vehicle category and third-party policies. Notice delivered outside the agreed windows may result in non-refundable charges.

DSG may suspend or terminate services if safety conditions are compromised, if payment obligations are unmet or if instructions conflict with legal and ethical standards.

Governing law and dispute resolution

Contracts are governed by Colombian law unless another jurisdiction is formally agreed upon in writing.

Disputes will first be addressed through negotiation and, if needed, institutional arbitration in Bogotá, Colombia or another venue mutually selected.
