Why we need your personal data
We collect and process your data for one or more of the following reasons:
To fulfil our contract with you
Where necessary, we use your personal data to provide you with our products and services in line with our overall contract. We process and use your personal data to provide you with a personalised service and/or the product or service you have requested, to fulfil your other requests, process your order(s) and as otherwise may be necessary to perform or enforce the contract between us.
We are required to do so by law or regulation
We are required to process and store some of your data in order to fulfil our regulatory obligations. This may include the information we need to establish your needs and requirements and/or to provide you with a personalised recommendation or advice. We may capture and share your personal data with organisations who can confirm your identity and provide information which helps prevent fraud or other financial crimes.

You have provided us with your consent
Where you have given your informed consent, we will process your data in accordance with the permission you have given us and this Notice. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
Our other legitimate interests in using your data
Taking into account your interests, we process your personal data for the following purposes:
To verify your identity and administer your account
We process and use your personal data to facilitate the functionality and security of our products and services, to identify you and the instructions you give us and to prevent and detect fraud and other misuses.
Development of products and services
We process and use your personal data to develop our products and/or services. However, for the most part we only use aggregated and statistical information in the development of our products and services and not data directly identifiable to you. We may also process and use your personal data to personalise our offerings and to provide you with a more relevant service, such as making recommendations and displaying customised content and advertising. We may amalgamate personal data collected in connection with your use of a particular product and/or service with other personal data we hold about you, unless the purpose for which we collected that data is not suitable for amalgamation.
Communicating with you and marketing
Our products and services:
We process and use your personal data to communicate with you, for example, to provide information relating to our products and/or services you are using, or to contact you for customer satisfaction checking purposes.
Marketing:
We may process and use your personal data for marketing purposes. Those purposes may include using your personal data for personalised marketing or research activities (in accordance with applicable laws), or, for example, to communicate with you about new products or promotions via our own or third parties’ services. When contacting you for marketing purposes, we will respect any preferences you have expressed to us, including any instructions you may have given us not to receive marketing communications.
Profiling
We may process and use your personal data for profiling for such purposes as targeted direct marketing and improvement of our products or services. We may also create aggregate and statistical information based on your personal data. Our profiling activity includes the automated processing of your personal data to analyse, evaluate or help predict your personal preferences or interests. Profiling helps us refine any marketing messages we send you about our products or services, so those suggestions are appropriate to you.
Tracking remuneration due to us or our partners
We use your personal data to ensure that we receive any remuneration or commission that’s due to us from, or payable by us to, third-party product providers or distributors.
Insurance
On occasions we will process personal data so that we can obtain insurance cover for our business and to notify and process claims with our insurers.
Business continuity
In the event of an interruption or the cessation of our business, we need to ensure that we can implement our business continuity procedures (for example, we may need to rebuild our IT systems) or wind down planning to protect your interests. This may involve a transfer of your personal data to a third party (see below).
Transfers of your personal data
We will transfer your personal data to the third parties noted below, or as obligated by law
Material service providers
We will transfer your personal data to the following third parties who provide us with a material service:
Equifax: which we use to carry out identity verification checks on our customers
SEI Investments (Europe) Ltd: which acts as our custodian and investment platform. You can find the SEI privacy policy here.
Generic service providers
To ensure the efficient technical and logistical provision of our services, we may transfer your personal data to third parties who control or process personal data on our behalf. Those third parties are usually service providers that supply us with cloud data storage, data security services, customer relationship management software and support ticketing services. We may change technical or logistical service providers from time to time. Such parties are generally not permitted to use your personal data for any other purposes than the purpose it was collected for, and we require them to comply with the applicable laws and use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data.
Event driven transfers
To protect your, or our, legitimate interests, certain events—such as the cessation, sale or transfer of our business; civil, criminal, legal or regulatory proceedings; or insurance claims—may require us to transfer your personal data to third parties.
International transfers
Our products and services may be provided using resources and servers located in countries around the world. Therefore, your personal data may be transferred outside the country where you use our services, which includes countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Data will only be transferred if the level of data protection in that jurisdiction is deemed adequate, or if there are appropriate safeguards in place which will protect your privacy.
How long do we keep personal data?
Your personal data is kept only for as long as it is reasonable for us to do so, depending on the nature of the data, our processing requirements and the grounds on which we collected it. However, we are obliged to store certain records of our relationship to comply with the FCA’s rules, in which case we will instead restrict access through our archiving processes. Subject to any actual or potential legal claim, the maximum time that we envisage retaining your information is five years after our relationship has ended: it will then be destroyed.
Information we use for marketing purposes will be kept by us until you notify us that you no longer wish to receive marketing information. Once you have notified us that you no longer wish to receive marketing information, we will not keep any information that would have been used for marketing purposes.
What are your rights?
You have the right to request information and have access to the personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to request that we correct or delete any incomplete, incorrect, unnecessary or outdated personal data we hold on you. However, we cannot delete personal data that is necessary for compliance, our binding legal obligations or if the personal data must be retained according to applicable laws or is required for the exercise or defence of a legal claim.
You may request restriction of processing of your personal data if:
- you consider your personal data collected by us to be inaccurate, but you do not wish your personal data to be deleted
- we have used your personal data unlawfully
- you have objected to the processing and the existence of legitimate grounds for processing is still under consideration
You may also, at any time, object to your personal data being processed for direct marketing purposes, sending promotional materials, profiling, or for the performance of market research. Furthermore, where your personal data is processed based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent for such processing at any time.
Should you wish to exercise the rights mentioned above, you may, as appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws, do so by contacting us through the contact points referred to in the marketing materials or below in this Notice. In some cases, especially if you wish us to delete or cease the processing of your personal data, this might mean that we are unable to continue providing our services to you.
Please note that we may need to identify you and to ask for additional information to meet the above requests. Please also note that applicable law may contain restrictions and other provisions that relate to your above rights.
