Disclaimer & Privacy Policy

This website is designed to provide you with general information only and does not attempt to give you advice on any particular investment or to recommend a particular investment to you. If you have any doubt as to whether a particular investment is suitable for you, please contact Gresham Financial Ltd for advice.

This policy only covers the website for Gresham Financial Ltd and does not cover links within this website to other websites.

As part of our arrangement with you, we have certain obligations under privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulations (the “Regulations”) to notify individuals how it will process any personal information it collects about them. This Notice will inform you of what personal information we collect, how that information is used, where it is transferred, and how you may view and amend such information. You may be assured that we will treat all personal information as confidential and will not process it other than for a legitimate purpose. Steps will be taken to ensure that the information is accurate, kept up to date and not kept for longer than is necessary. Measures will also be taken to safeguard against unauthorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss or destruction or damage to the information.

What type of personal information will be processed?

We collect and process various personal data about you for the purposes of providing advice, administration and management services. “Processing” could include obtaining, recording or holding information or data. “Personal data” is information which can identify you as a living individual, including where used in conjunction with other information. Common examples of personal data which may be collected and used by us in our day-to-day business activities include:

· name;

· date of birth;

· gender;

· ethnicity;

· marital status;

· address;

· telephone number and other contact details (including email addresses);

· job title; and

· bank account and other financial details.

Depending upon the types of products and services you require, the information collected and processed may also contain “sensitive personal data” for the purposes of the GDPR, which includes information held by us as to:

· your physical or mental health or condition;

· the commission or alleged commission of any offence by you;

· any proceedings for an offence committed or alleged to have been committed by you, including the outcome or sentence in such proceedings;

· sexual life;

· in limited circumstances, your membership of a Trade Union;

· your political opinions, religious or similar beliefs

Any information which we receive fairly and lawfully relating to one of the above categories constitutes sensitive personal data. Examples of likely items which may contain sensitive personal data (although this is not an exhaustive list) are life insurance questionnaires, medical reports and Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) self-certification forms.

Please note that as with personal data, you have freedom of choice when it comes to your decision as to whether you provide us sensitive personal data. In addition to your right to request that we stop processing your personal data and sensitive personal data at any time, you have an opportunity at the end of this Notice to choose not to provide sensitive personal data to us at all. You should however note that if you exercise this right or subsequently request that we stop processing all or part of your personal data and/or sensitive personal data, this could impact upon our ability to provide you with certain types of product and services and may ultimately result in us being unable to provide them to you at all.

How will my personal data be collected and used?

We collect personal data from you to the extent necessary to provide advice, administrative and management services and (subject to the provisions below), related marketing activities. We may process your personal data and sensitive personal data for the following reasons:

· The administration, management and provision of advice in relation to financial services products;

· Our legitimate business processes and activities including internal audit, accounting, business planning and proposed and actual transactions (including joint ventures and disposals of business); and

· Compliance with legal (including dealing with claims), regulatory and other good governance obligations.

This list is not exhaustive and may be updated from time to time as business needs and legal requirements dictate. Some of the personal data that we maintain will be kept in paper files, while other personal data will be included in computerized files and electronic databases.

We will comply with the GDPR and ensure that the data held is kept securely and confidentially. There is a disaster recovery procedure in place to ensure that important data is safeguarded.

We, recommended product providers, investment managers and other service providers may administer your portfolios and related policies provide other services, from centres in countries outside Europe that do not always have the same standard of Data Protection laws as the UK. However, they are required to ensure that your information is adequately protected, and they will remain bound by their obligations under the GDPR even when your personal information is processed outside Europe.

With whom might my personal data be shared with?

Your personal data will be made available for the purposes mentioned above and only to responsible management, human resources, accounting, audit, compliance, information technology and other corporate staff. It may also be made available to third parties providing relevant services to us who provide us with certain support services, including regulatory support. You can ask us for our current list of business support providers.

Certain personal data will also be reported to government authorities where required by law and for tax or other purposes. Personal data may also be released to external parties as required by legislation, or by legal process, as well as to companies you authorise us to release your personal data to. We will not sell your personal data to any third party.

ID Checks

We are required by Law to verify the identity of all our clients. Business cannot be transacted until verification is complete. Any checks undertaken are purely for the purpose of verifying identity and to comply with Anti Money Laundering Regulations.

Please note that the firm’s legal obligations under the UK’s anti money laundering regulations require us in all cases to process personal data for the purposes of preventing money laundering. This means in relevant circumstances your data may have to be released to national crime prevention authorities.
