How do we ensure security of the storage and transmission of your personal information?

We have installed and regularly update our firewall and antivirus software. We also apply robust access and security controls to our IT systems and have in place resilient data encryption and storage protocols.

Unfortunately, transmission of information via the internet and email is not completely secure. Though we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet where the security is outside our control; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use appropriate and technical and organisational measures to try and prevent unauthorised access, unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction or damage.

Where it is necessary for your personal data to be forwarded to a third party we will endeavour to use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in transit. The vast majority of personal data transfers will occur within the United Kingdom or wider European Economic Area (“EEA”). However, sometimes your personal information may be transferred outside the EEA. If we do so, we will ensure that suitable contracts and / or safeguards are in place with the relevant third parties.

How long do we keep hold of your information?

In principle, your personal data should not be held for longer than is required under the terms of our client agreement with you (or in respect of employees, your employment contract, or in respect of suppliers, contractors and other professional organisations, any contract between us). However, we are subject to regulatory requirements to retain data for specified minimum periods. We also reserve the right to retain data for longer than this due to the possibility that it may be required to defend a future claim against us. In any event, subject to regulatory and legal requirements, we will not retain your personal data for longer than the earlier of seven years past the time of your death or the end of our relationship. You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. We will comply with this request, subject to the restrictions of our regulatory obligations and legitimate interests as noted above.

How can I access the information you hold about me?

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information please email or write to us using the contact details noted below. In very limited circumstances, a small fee may be payable by you (to meet our costs of providing you with details of the information we hold about you) and we may request proof of identity before we are able to disclose personal information to you.

When your personal data is processed by automated means you have the right to ask us to move your personal data to another organisation for their use.

We have an obligation to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. If you believe that any personal information we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us using the details below.

Marketing and your mailing preferences

We would like to use your personal information to send you information about our products and services, seminars, events, newsletters, investment commentaries and technical notes that we think may be of interest to you, and will seek the relevant consent from you at the appropriate time.

If you have agreed to receive marketing information, you may opt out at a later date.

You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please contact us by email or post, or click on the unsubscribe link in our email marketing communications.

What are your rights?

Under GDPR, you have a number of important rights. In summary, those include rights to:

  • access your personal information and to certain other supplementary information that this notice is already designed to address;
  • require us to correct any mistakes in your information which we hold;
  • require the erasure of personal information concerning you in certain situations;
  • receive the personal information concerning you which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to a third party in certain situations;
  • object at any time to processing of personal information concerning you for direct marketing;
  • object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you;

We may ask you for proof of identity when you make a request to exercise any of these rights. We do this to ensure we only disclose information to the right individual.

Access to your personal information will be provided free of charge, unless the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repeated or if more than one set of your personal data is requested and the second set is a hard copy. If a fee is charged, this will only reflect the costs incurred in producing and delivering the information to you.

Where you have provided explicit consent for the processing of your personal information, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time by contacting dataprotection@successionwealth.co.uk. Please note however that if you withdraw your consent, or you do not provide it, this could mean that we have insufficient information to provide our services. Where that is the case, we will inform you before taking any action.

What can you do if you are unhappy with how your personal data is processed?

You have a right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority for data protection. In the UK this is the ICO at www.ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
