Data Protection Notice


DATA PROTECTION ACT 1998 – HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

How is your information used?
Primarily, we use your data and data about your family’s circumstances to provide advice to you and complete transactions on your behalf. We analyse and assess your data to maintain and develop our relationship with you.

Depending on the instructions we receive from you, we may pass your data to other professional advisers to enable us to provide advice most suited to your circumstances. Usually, this would be referrals to local accountants, solicitors, tax advisers and sometimes to specialist advisers in the financial and insurance industry where you may benefit from the expertise of such third parties. We, and any third party specialist advisers to whom we introduce you, will, of course, pass your data to organisations when you agree to purchase or amend policies and products.

We will retain your data according to the statutory requirements for regulated products. For instance, if you are given specialist pension advice, the data will be retained indefinitely. If you want details of the statutory retention periods for various product types please contact us and we will obtain the latest legal position on your behalf.

We may be required to share your data with our regulator and other third parties including our auditors or insurers.

Your right to a copy of your personal data

Under the Data Protection Act you have a right, on payment of a fee, currently £10, to obtain a copy of the personal information that we hold about you. If you believe that any information held is incorrect or incomplete, you should contact the Data Protection Officer at our usual address. Any information that is found to be incorrect or incomplete will be amended promptly.

Thank you for your time and I confirm that we are at all times committed to making sure that, as you are a customer of a company authorised directly by the FCA, you receive the best service and products available in the marketplace.
