PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy notice explains how we use any personal information we collect about you.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

We collect information about you when you engage us for financial planning and estate planning advice and our related services. This information will relate to your personal and financial circumstances. It may also include special categories of personal data such as data about your health, if this is necessary for the provision of our services.

We may also collect information when you voluntarily complete client surveys or provide feedback to us.

Information relating to usage of our website is collected using cookies. These are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. We’ll use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to the site.

WHY DO WE NEED TO COLLECT AND USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

The primary legal basis that we intend to use for the processing of your data is for the performance of our contract with you. The information that we collect about you is essential for us to be able to carry out the services that you require from us effectively. Without collecting your personal data we’d also be unable to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations.

Where special category data is required we’ll obtain your explicit consent in order to collect and process this information.

HOW WILL WE USE THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU?

We collect information about you in order to provide you with the services for which you engage us. Many of our services are broad and our objective is to meet your expectations through proactive communications across the range of your financial planning requirements.

WHO MIGHT WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH?

If you agree, we may email you about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you.

We won’t share your information for marketing purposes with other companies. We may, with your explicit permission pass details to firms you have agreed may call you about a particular product or service aligned with (but not part of) our financial planning or estate planning

In order to deliver our services to you effectively we may send your details to third parties such as those that we engage for professional compliance, accountancy or legal services as well as product and platform providers that we use to arrange financial products for you.

Where third parties are involved in processing your data we’ll have a contract in place with them to ensure that the nature and purpose of the processing is clear, that they are subject to a duty of confidence in processing your data and that they’ll only act in accordance with our written instructions.    

Where it’s necessary for your personal data to be forwarded to a third party we’ll use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in transit such as password protection or more sophisticated encryption depending on the circumstances and data in question.

To fulfil our obligations in respect of prevention of money-laundering and other financial crime we may send your details to third party agencies for identity verification purposes.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP HOLD OF YOUR INFORMATION?

In principle, your personal data shouldn’t be held for longer than is required under the terms of our contract for services with you. However, we are subject to regulatory requirements to retain data for specified minimum periods. We reserve the right to retain data for longer than this due to the possibility that it may be required to defend a future claim against us. In no circumstances will we retain your personal data for longer than 80 years.  

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. We will comply with this request, subject to the restrictions of our regulatory obligations and legitimate interests as noted above. 

HOW CAN I ACCESS THE INFORMATION YOU HOLD ABOUT ME?

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you’d like a copy of some or all of your personal information please email or write to us using the contact details noted below.

When your personal data is processed by automated means you have the right to ask us to move your personal data to another organisation for their use.

We have an obligation to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. Please ask us to correct or remove any information that you think is incorrect.

MARKETING 

We’d like to send you information about our products and services which may be of interest to you. If you’ve agreed to receive marketing information, you may opt out at a later date.

From time to time we may wish to contact you to offer additional products or services which may be of interest to you. In order to do this we require your consent by agreeing to a consent request at the appropriate time.

You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please contact us by email or post.

We may identify specific opportunities during our engagements with you to which you may agree to receive a particular marketing approach in isolation without needing to amend you general preferences. On such occasions we will request your permission in writing.
