By visiting or submitting data through this Website, you are accepting and consenting to the provisions set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you are instructed not to use this Website.

This Privacy Policy covers only data collected through the Website ("Data") and not any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, data collection practices of other webpages to which we link or data that we or our affiliates collect offline or through web pages that do not display a direct link to this Privacy Policy.

Collection Purposes, Use of Data

When you engage with us (e.g. sending us emails, contacting us via telephone or visiting or making an enquiry through the Website), you may provide Personal Information about yourself including your name and contact details (e.g. your address, email address and telephone number) and your job title and CV where you apply for a role with us. If you consider investing with us, you may also provide us with your financial information and various other necessary Personal Information (e.g. your social security or tax payer identification number, investment history and bank details). Where you make use of our Website we may also collect information about your use of the Website (e.g. your IP address and choice of web browser). Some of this Personal Information is collected and processed so we can perform a contract with you, some for the purpose of legal compliance and some for the purposes of our legitimate business interests (namely to carry out and improve our business, analyse the use of our Website and services and support our staff and clients).

In order to comply with our legal obligations, we record all calls made on certain employees' landline and mobile telephone lines. Where this is in effect, we will make this clear by a spoken notice at the point of connection of the call.

Where you apply for a job with us, we may collect from you and third parties (where relevant) additional Personal Information such as your CV and any references. Unless you agree that we can keep such information on file for future opportunities or we need to retain such information for compliance with our legal obligations, in the event that you are unsuccessful, we will only retain this Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary to process your application.

Where you provide Personal Information on behalf of another individual, you are responsible for notifying that individual that you have provided their Personal Information to us and directing them to this Policy as to how we will process their Personal Information.
