What information do we collect about you?

Information is collected via contact forms and questionnaires. This is so that we can reply to you and determine your wishes. 

Why do we need to collect and use your personal data?

The primary legal basis that we intend to use for the processing of your data is for communication purposes.  Without collecting your personal data we would be unable to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations. We do not request or store any bank related data from you.

We may email or message you about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you. If you prefer not to receive these, please let us know and we will remove you from the mailing list.  We won’t share your information for marketing purposes with other companies.  If we feel a service would benefit you we will ask if you would like your details forwarded on to another company. If you say no, we won’t.

How long do we keep hold of your information?

We will only retain your personal data 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.

However, we’re subject to regulatory requirements to retain data for specified minimum periods.  You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. We’ll comply with this request, subject to legitimate interests as noted above.
