All of the kinds of information in the preceding list (see The types of information we collect about you) are necessary for us to provide the contractual services and meet our legal duties.
We will only use your personal information for the reasons for which we originally received it, unless we have a good faith belief that we need to use it for another reason that is consistent with the original purpose. If we must use your personal information for an unconnected purpose, we will tell you and explain the legal grounds for doing so.
Please note that, when needed or authorised by law, we may treat your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in accordance with the aforementioned regulations.
Every member of our staff is responsible for safeguarding the privacy of any and all personal information to which they have access. As an explicit requirement of their employment contracts, our workers must adopt and uphold responsibilities of confidentiality that survive termination of employment.
All staff are expected to undergo regular data protection training that emphasises their responsibilities and obligations in safeguarding the privacy and security of your personal data.
If we use specific categories of your personal information to fulfil our legal duties, we do not require your consent. Under some conditions, we may contact you (or your authorised representative) for written permission to process certain especially sensitive data. If we do so, we will offer complete information about the information we want and why we need it, so that you may decide whether or not to consent.
Prior to any international transfer of your personal information, you will be notified if at all possible. Such a transfer will likewise be covered by this Privacy Notice.
We may only process information related to illegal behaviour if the law permits it. As part of our client onboarding procedure, we will engage financial crime or other background check agencies to screen you, or you may provide us with such information directly over the course of our business relationship. We shall utilise illegal activity information to fulfil our Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism responsibilities.
When an electronic system utilises personal information to make a choice without human interaction, this is known as automated decision-making.
We do not anticipate that any decisions regarding you will be made automatically, but we will tell you in writing if this ever changes.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties if compelled to do so by law or if it relates to the services we provide.
We have established necessary measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorised, alteration, or exposure of your private details. In addition, we restrict access to your personally identifiable information to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a business need to know.

We have processes in place to deal with just about any suspected data security breach, and we will inform you and any relevant authority if a breach is detected and we are obligated to do so by law.
How long will my information be stored?
Your personal information will be kept for as long as necessary to fulfil the objectives for which it was acquired. The amount of time we keep your personal data depends on the following factors:
For instance, we must be able to address your problems even if you are no longer a client. We have in place retention procedures that control the deletion of personally identifiable information.
In certain situations, we may anonymize your personal information so that you cannot be identified, in which case we may use such information without additional notification to you. We will keep and securely erase your personal information in line with our data retention policy and applicable laws and regulations once our commercial relationship with you has ended.
We are dedicated to maintaining the accuracy of your personal information for as long as it is used for the reasons outlined in this policy, and as long as you keep us informed. Notifying us of any changes to your address, email address, or phone number will allow us to offer you with the highest level of service possible.
You have the right to seek a record of all information held on our systems about you. We will respond to your request within three days and deliver any data kept by us.
