International sharing of the personal data

As we do business internationally, we could share your information with any relevant country for business based on two considerations:

In order to fulfil contractual obligations.

Under the GDPR, an international transfer of data may be made where:

– 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.

Lawful basis of processing

If you are a person entering into a contract or terms of business with us by either;

– An accredited/qualified/professional/institutional investor

– Acting in your own name as a sole trader or introducer

– Representing a registered company (as a director)

We will be holding your personal data on the basis of ‘contract’. Under this basis, processing of your data is necessary either for the performance of the contract/terms of business to which you are party or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.

Within the bounds of strict necessity and proportionality, in some cases we will process your personal data under the lawful basis of ‘legitimate interest’ where the processing is necessary for any or all of the following 1) keeping a relevant and appropriate relationship, 2) commercial interests, 3) exercise or defence of legal claims, 4) fraud prevention or 5) prevent cyberattacks, and 6)) to protect our rights or 3rd party rights.

If the purpose under which we process your data change, we may still be able to continue processing under the original lawful basis if our new purpose is compatible with the initial purpose (unless your original lawful basis was consent).

How long do we keep your data?

We do not retain any more of your personal information than we believe is necessary for any of the purposes outlined above and we do not retain your personal information for any longer than is reasonably necessary to do so for the purpose set out in this notice. We will retain your information for:

– as long as we hold a business relationship (terms of business)

– as long as you are invested

– as long as we are obliged to by any relevant law

– as long as you do not withdraw your consent, if we hold your data under this lawful basis.

– as long as necessary in order to provide the relevant service to our clients
