Privacy Policy

1. This Privacy Policy

1.1 The Financial Adviser ("FA") referred to in the Contact section of this Web Site, is committed to protecting your personal information and other data provided to the FA via this and any other FA web site ("Web Site"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully as it contains important information about the use of any information you provide to the FA via this Web Site. This Privacy Policy explains what information the FA collects about you, and how the FA collects and uses your information, including setting out the circumstances where the FA could provide it to third parties. 

1.2 Because of the financial nature of the FA's business, FA's products and services are not designed to appeal to or to be sold to persons under the age of 18. Therefore, FA does not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any information from children.

2. What information the FA collects and what does the FA do with it

2.1 To take advantage of some of the services offered via this Web Site you may be required to log on or register with the Web Site. The FA and any third parties who hosts or maintains this Web Site may need to collect information about you and your computer to enable you to do so. The information will be collected when you register with the Web Site or when you choose to use one of the services available via the Web Site.

2.2 The FA may use the information which it collects to personalise your experience on the Web Site, to help you to log-in in future, to continue to use the Web Site, and to help the FA select services or materials for inclusion on the Web Site which may be of interest to you. The FA may, from time to time, use your information to recommend other products or services to you. Occasionally, the FA may contact you by letter, telephone or e-mail to inform you about other products and services which may be of interest to you. To exercise your right to "opt out" of this service, you should contact the FA via the link shown below.

2.3 The FA may use your information to notify you of news about the FA, changes to the Web Site, special events or new services that the FA thinks may interest you. If, at any time, you would rather not receive any such information, please either tick any relevant "opt-out" box on the page where you are asked to give your information or you may contact the FA via the link shown below. In these circumstances, the FA will need to keep your information on file so that you can continue to use the Web Site and so that the FA can deal with the administration and security of the Web Site, but the FA will not e-mail you or contact you by telephone, fax or post without your consent.

2.4 The nature of the FA's business is such that the FA may on occasion ask you to provide sensitive personal data as defined in the Data Protection Act 1998 (for example, questions relating to your health where that information is required in order to provide life insurance quotations). Where the FA does so, the FA will request your explicit consent to the use of such sensitive personal data. Where you consent to provide the FA with this information, the FA will take appropriate measures to protect such sensitive personal data.

2.5 The FA or third parties hosting servers on the FA's behalf may also monitor traffic patterns and usage of the Web Site to help it to improve the Web Site design and layout.

2.6 Please note that the FA is not responsible for what any third-party content provider or other third party offering goods and services via websites linked to this Web Site may propose to do with information about you. So please ensure you read their terms and conditions carefully.

3. Sharing of Information with Third Parties

3.1 The FA will not disclose your personal information to third parties other than as described in this clause (unless it is legally required to do so). The FA may need to pass your information to third parties who help the FA to maintain, administer or develop the Web Site but, if so, that information is only given to those third parties for that limited purpose. In addition, the FA may provide aggregate statistics about its customers, sales, traffic patterns and related Web Site information to reputable third-parties, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.

3.2 The FA reserves the right to access and disclose personal data or information to comply with applicable laws and lawful government requests, to operate its systems properly, or to protect itself or its users.

4. Your Consent

4.1 You acknowledge and agree that:4.1.1 in the course of registering or using this Web Site and any services offered via this Web Site, certain information about you will be captured electronically (including sensitive personal data where required, but this will be subject to you giving your explicit consent in such cases) or otherwise and transmitted to the FA or and, potentially, to any third parties as set out above, or to third parties who host the FA's web servers or assist the FA in maintaining this Web Site; and

4.1.2 The FA may send your information outside of the European Economic Area for processing or use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

4.2 By using this Web Site, you expressly agree to the collection and use of your information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

5. Contests and Competitions

From time to time the FA may request information from users for the purposes of running contests or competitions. Participation in these contests or competitions is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice regarding whether or not to disclose this information.

As required by the Data Protection Act 1998, the FA follows strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have provided via this Web Site, to prevent unauthorised access.

12. Complaining

When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us. We use that information to resolve your complaint. If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information, and, if we do, what that information is.

We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.
