– A third country, a territory or one or more specific sectors in the third country, or an international organisation ensures an adequate/equivalent level of protection, and
– The transfer is:
made with the individual’s informed consent; necessary for the performance of a contract between the individual and the organisation or for pre-contractual steps taken at the individual’s request; necessary for the performance of a contract made in the interests of the individual between the controller and another person; made from a register which under UK or EU law is intended to provide information to the public If none of the above apply, such transfers are permitted only where the transfer:
is not repetitive (similar transfers are not made on a regular basis); involves data related to only a limited number of individuals; is necessary for the purposes of the compelling legitimate interests of the organisation (provided such interests are not overridden by the interests of the individual); and is made subject to suitable safeguards put in place by the organisation (in the light of an assessment of all the circumstances surrounding the transfer) to protect the personal data. In these cases, we would be obliged to inform the relevant supervisory authority of the transfer and provide additional information to you.

– An accredited/qualified/professional/institutional investor
– Acting in your own name as a sole trader or introducer
