We will only use information from which you can be identified (“Personal Information”) provided to us, or otherwise obtained by us, as set out in this Policy. We endeavour to ensure that your Personal Information is handled in accordance with “Data Protection Legislation”.

1. PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM YOU

When you engage with us (e.g. by 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). 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 answer your enquiry, 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 visitors to the Website).

2. PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVE FROM OTHER SOURCES

We may receive information from third parties who collect Personal Information from you and pass it on to us. Where this is the case the third party is responsible for obtaining the relevant consents from you to ensure you are happy with the ways in which your Personal Information will be used.

3. WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only use your Personal Information in order to (a) supply the investment services or information you have requested and correspond with you, (b) provide support to you in respect of these services, (c) improve our Website and services, and (d) for our internal business processes.

Where you have explicitly consented at the time we collected your Personal Information or where we otherwise have a right to do so, we may also use your Personal Information to let you know about our products and services, by post, telephone and e-mail.

If you change your mind about us using your Personal Information in the ways described in this Policy, please let us know by contacting us at enquiries@chrysalisllp.co.uk. You may also opt out of receiving marketing emails from us by following the instructions outlined in the email.

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Where it is necessary to answer your enquiry or for our internal business processes, we may share your Personal Information with certain third parties such as our administrator(s) and our other companies within our group (“Group Companies”). By submitting your Personal Information to us, you agree to such third parties processing your information. The Company asks all third parties to treat your data securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and will take reasonable steps to enforce this.

In addition, it may be necessary to disclose your Personal Information if we are under a duty to disclose your Personal Information in order to comply with any legal obligation (such as AML obligations), or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, other Group Companies and our contractors, clients, directors, employees or other personnel. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and prevention.

We will also share your contact details with third party partners in the event that you have consented to receive marketing from such third parties. If you change your mind about being contacted by these parties in the future, please let us know by contacting us using the details set out at section 10 below or contact the third party directly. You may also opt out of receiving any marketing communications from third parties by following the instructions outlined in these communications.

5. OUR SECURITY AND DATA RETENTION MEASURES, AND ANY TRANSFERS WE MAKE OUTSIDE OF THE EEA

The Personal Information you provide to us will be transferred to and stored on our servers in the UK and we take steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as we reasonably require and, in any event, only for as long as Data Protection Legislation allows.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and, although we will take steps to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted via the Website; any transmission is therefore at your own risk.

In processing your Personal Information, it may be necessary for us to transfer your Personal Information outside a Regulated State. It may also be accessed by staff operating outside a Regulated State who work for us or for one of our suppliers. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the provision of support services to the Company or the Website. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and Data Protection Legislation when it is processed in, or otherwise accessed from, a location outside a Regulated State. This means that we will only transfer your Personal Information to third parties outside a Regulated State if that third party (a) is situated in a country that has been confirmed by the European Commission or (in the case of data transfers to which UK GDPR is applicable), the UK Government, to provide adequate protection to Personal Information, or (b) has agreed (by way of written contract) to provide all protections to your Personal Information as required by Data Protection Legislation. References to ‘Regulated State‘ in this Policy mean a country which is a member state of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, as the case may be.

6. ACCESSING AND UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing or research purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your Personal Information) if we intend to use your Personal Information for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your Personal Information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at the details set out at section 10 below.

You have the right to see the Personal Information we hold about you and to ask us to: (a) make any changes to ensure that any Personal Information we hold about you is accurate and up to date; (b) erase or stop processing any Personal Information we hold about you where there is no longer a legal ground for us to hold it; or (c) transfer any information we hold about you to a specified third party. If you wish to do this, please contact us using the contact details set out at section 10 below.

7. COMPLAINTS

Should you have any queries or complaints in relation to how we use your Personal Information, please contact us using the details set out at section 10 below. Should you wish to take any complaints or queries further, you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office regarding such issues.
