What personal information we collect

Personal data means information by which you may be personally identified directly or indirectly.

We collect certain personal information about you, this includes your name, address, or phone number and other information. We collect this information about you when you:

• Apply for and receive our services;
• complete our application form;
• Visit a financial adviser; and
• Register to receive one of our newsletters, communications or attend an event organised by Us.

The type of personal information we collect will depend on the purpose for which it is collected and may include:

• Economic and financial information (e.g. credit card numbers, bank details, Past investment performance, etc and information pertaining to County Court Judgements (CCJs) and any debt history);
• Investment preferences (e.g. your views and preferences around portfolios in which to invest, or not to invest in which may indirectly reveal some religious, political or philosophical views that you hold);
• Audio and visual information when we are recording interactions with you, or when you visit one of our premises (e.g. call recordings or Closed Circuit Television);

• Complaint Information (e.g. Complaint Details, Complaint Description, Complaint Details, complaint Type, Reason/Details of the complaint),

We collect personal information directly from you. For example, we ask for personal information at the start of our relationship (e.g. when you apply for a policy or service) and in subsequent communications in order to manage our relationship.

If we provide a service to your employees or a scheme, then personal data in relation to those employees or members of the scheme isn’t processed by Us as part of the standard corporate advice process. This information is normally provided directly to the product provider.

In limited circumstances, we may need to collect employee personal data, and where we do, we act as data processer and it’s therefore provided to Us by yourself, with the knowledge and consent of your employees.

Where we provide our services to trusts, we collect the personal information listed for the settler, beneficiaries and trustees of that trust. Where we provide our services to companies we may collect personal information for Directors, Shareholders and Beneficial Owners of the company. Where we provide our services to charities, we may collect personal information about the trustees or directors of that charity.

We may also collect information about you from other sources such as:

• another agent (if you have one);
• external third parties (e.g. credit reference agencies to verify your identity and to check financial soundness); and
• from Cookies. (Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners).

Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or for legal or regulatory reasons. Personal information will be securely disposed of when it is no longer required in accordance with our Personal Data Retention Standard.

Advice data is retained for 50 years to meet our regulatory requirements.

Special category data and criminal conviction data

We may also gather more sensitive personal data, called special category data, for example, as part of recruitment. This type of data can include racial or ethnic origin, genetic or health information or sexual orientation. The processing of some of this data is necessary for us to fulfil the obligations on us. In such cases, we will always explain this during the process and explain what information we require and why it is needed. Where we do require it, we will always seek your consent. Special category data will always be processed and stored securely.

Where it is necessary, we may also collect information relating to an individual's criminal convictions. If this is the case we will explain what information we require, why it is needed and where required, will ask you for consent.

Cookies

We also collect information about you from other sources. For example, our website automatically collects information from your computer using “cookies” which provides us with limited personal information. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They’re widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners.

• You can choose not to accept any non-essential cookies for your interactions, however, in a few cases, some of our website features may not function as a result.

More information about the cookies we use on our website can be found here.

Profiling

Profiling involves the use of basic identifiers about you such as your name and address and matching this with information from Experian Marketing Services to create demographics and infer customer ‘types’. This helps us define groups based on factors like interests, age, location and more so we can better understand our customers to adapt and improve our products and services. If you would like to know more about the information we get from Experian Marketing Services, you can visit their Consumer Information Portal which explains who Experian Marketing Services are, what they do and why.
