WAYNFLETE ADVISORY LIMITED PRIVACY NOTICE

1. About us and this privacy policy and our role

This is the privacy policy for Waynflete Advisory Limited (“Waynflete”) and waynfleteadvisory.com (we, us and our).  Our registered address is International House, 36-38 Cornhill, London, United Kingdom, EC3V 3NG.  For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are the data controller of the personal data you submit to us regardless of the method of submission.   

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Waynflete is also the Data Controller of the personal data you submit to us regardless of the method of submission. 

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information, in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This privacy policy describes how we collect and use personal information about you during and after our relationship with you. 

2. What information do we collect?

  • Personal information provided by you: 
     

We may collect and process the following personal information about you (such as your name, date of birth, nationality, address, telephone number, email address, payment card details or bank account details and details concerning your financial position).

  • Any communications between us and our clients
     

Whether by telephone, email or otherwise. For example, to report a problem or to submit queries, concerns or comments regarding our services, investment or product updates or general comments. 

  • Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation, which may include:
     
  • Copies of identity documents such as passports or driving licenses
  • Copies of address verification documents, such as utility bills or bank statements
  • Any other information needed to comply with our obligations under Anti Money Laundering law, which may include information on your source of funds and financial situation. 
  • Personal information provided by third parties

Occasionally we may receive information about you from other sources (such as credit reference agencies), which we will add to the information we already hold about you in order to help us comply with our regulatory obligations. 

In certain circumstances we may be required to carry out enhanced due diligence checks to comply with our obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. These enhanced checks may reveal information about criminal convictions or information about an individual’s political opinions and associations and/or other sensitive personal data. We will only collect and process such information to the extent necessary to comply with our regulatory obligations and in accordance with the applicable data protection laws.

3. Lawful basis and purposes of processing of your personal information

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to, i.e. when it is necessary to:

  • perform our contractual obligations towards you: This is where the processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract, such as determining suitability of a product or client for one or more investment projects.  This lawful basis covers the following purposes: 
  • Providing our services to you.
  • comply with our legal and regulatory obligations:  We may be required to process or share your personal data in compliance with a legal obligation.  In general, this will involve collecting information for KYC purposes, but we may also need to process your data in response to a request from the authorities, or when establishing, maintaining or defending legal claims. 
  • pursue our legitimate interests (e.g. conducting our business in an efficient, compliant and profitable manner), and your interests and fundamental rights do not override these interests.  Our legitimate interests include:
  • Improving our service
  • Providing you with client support
  • Providing you with information about further business opportunities offered by Waynflete.

We collect information about you so that we can:

  • provide our services to you, which includes verifying and maintaining an accurate record of our perspective and current clients.
  • carry out statistical and other analysis;
  • detect and prevent fraud;
  • conduct “know your customer” and anti-money laundering checks;
  • manage our relationship with you and your other advisers (if applicable);
  • improve our services; 
  • manage our business, including for accounting and auditing purposes;
  • conduct our regular group reporting activities on the performance of our company, in the context of a business reorganisation or group restructure;
  • maintain our IT systems and manage hosting of our data;
  • deal with legal disputes involving you, your advisers (if applicable) or our suppliers or other parties whom we engage in connection with our services to you; and
  • comply with our reporting obligations

Some of the above grounds and purposes for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal information.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

4. Will we disclose your personal information to anyone?

You acknowledge by use of this Site that we may share your personal information with third parties such as:

  • other companies within our group;
  • our agents and service providers, which includes our accountants;
  • credit reference agents to meet our anti-money laundering obligations;
  • regulators and also Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs if obliged; 
  • law enforcement agencies in connection with any investigation to help prevent unlawful activity; and
     

We require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law. All our third-party service providers and other entities in the group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

5. Keeping your data secure

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. Third parties will only process your personal information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

While we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data that are transferred via the internet. If you have any particular concerns about your information, please contact us (see ‘How can you contact us?’ below).

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

6. Transfers of your information out of the EEA

We take the security of your data very seriously, and all of your personal data will be kept according to strict safeguards and in compliance with GDPR.  Your data will be stored securely on servers within the EEA and we will only store your data outside the EEA in the event that jurisdiction in question has been assessed as compliance with the GDPR. 

7. Data retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For example, in accordance with our legal and regulatory requirements.  To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.  

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you.

8. Rights and duties

Your duty to inform us of changes

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a confirmation from us as to whether we process any of your personal information or not, and if this is the case, to receive a copy of such personal information and to check that we are lawfully processing it. 
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information (often referred to as “the right to be forgotten”). This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.  
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it, or if we no longer need your data for our legitimate interests but we need to hold some of it for the purpose of legal proceedings.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you would like to exercise any of the above rights, please:

  • email, call or write to us (see paragraph 9 below);
  • let us have proof of your identity and address (a copy of your driving license or passport and a recent utility or credit card bill). This is to allow us to verify your identity and prevent disclosure to unauthorised third parties; and
  • let us know the details of your request, for example by specifying the personal data you want to access, the information that is incorrect and the information with which it should be replaced.

Please note that if you request erasure, object to our processing of your personal data or request the restriction of our processing of your personal data we may not be able to provide our services to you.
