We (GFIC Limited) value your right to privacy and security and therefore treat Personal Data, as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as private. We are committed to protecting the privacy of any information we hold about you and in this Statement we have summarised our policies regarding the collection, use and transfer of your personal data, the security measures we employ to protect such data and your rights and choices with regard to access or use of such data. In adopting this Statement, we wish to balance our legitimate business interests and your reasonable expectation of privacy. Accordingly, we will take appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational steps to prevent unauthorised access to, or disclosure of your Personal Data. In keeping in line with our commitment to providing you with secure access, this Statement may be varied from time to time and we would advise that you check it regularly.

Personal Data

We may hold a variety of personal data gathered in the course of providing our products and services to you. This data is processed on the lawful basis of legitimate interest and is stored in a secure and confidential database which is accessible only by our authorised employees or agents. By providing us with your personal information you indicate your willingness for that information to be securely stored by us and for us to contact you, when appropriate, in the course of our activities.

Your Rights

You have the right to obtain access to your personal data; to have it updated or corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete; to request that we restrict its processing or remove your data entirely from our systems. When asked to remove a record from our database, we will retain minimal information to ensure we do not contact you or collect such information again in the future. If you would like us to delete all your related data, or if you prefer that we unsubscribe you from our marketing mailing list, please specify your preference by contacting by any of the means specified below.

Data Security and Integrity

We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information and we take every reasonable step to do so, including the use of encryption technology. We can, however, not guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us electronically and you do so at your own risk. We implement strict security standards and procedures in order to help prevent unauthorised access to your personal information. Only our authorised employees or agents will have access to your information, and all of our employees, service providers and marketing partners are held to stringent standards of privacy and security and are bound by confidentiality agreements. We use our best efforts to ensure that data is accurate, complete, current and reliable for its intended use. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures and safeguards to help protect your personal data from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or loss. Our internal policies and procedures are designed to help ensure we safeguard the privacy and accuracy of all data we collect or process. To the extent that we disclose personal data to approved third parties, we will request that they properly protect the security and confidentiality of such information and otherwise process such data in accordance with applicable law. We will not disclose or transfer Personal Data to third parties for the purposes of marketing. We will, however, disclose information when required to do so: (1) by a court order; (2) by any regulatory authority and the regulators they appoint for the various financial sectors; (3) in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations in terms of any legislation or regulation applicable to us and our business dealings (including fraud prevention and anti-money laundering); (4) in order to exercise, protect and defend our rights and property (including our intellectual property); (5) in order to conduct required credit or background checks; (6) on the reasonable request of an asset in which you have invested; and (7) in the public interest. We review the data we holds on a regular basis and your information will be destroyed if it is no longer required for the purpose(s) for which it was obtained.
