Privacy Notice

Our Privacy Notice explains how we use your personal data, describes the categories of personal data we process and for what purposes. We hold such information as Data Controllers in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), together referred to as the ‘Regulations’. We are committed to collecting and using such data fairly and in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.

‘Personal data’ is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (rather than to a legal entity, such as a company).

We take your privacy seriously and you can find out more here about your privacy rights and how we gather, use and share your personal information.

What personal information we collect and use

We need to obtain information about you, so that we can provide the financial advice you require, including:

  • personal details such as your name, identification number, date of birth, KYC documents (including a copy of your national identity card or passport), phone number, physical and electronic address, and family details such as the name of your spouse, partner, or children;
  • financial information, including payment and transaction records and information relating to your assets (including fixed properties), financial statements, liabilities, taxes, revenues, earnings and investments (including your investment objectives);
  • tax domicile and other tax-related documents and information;
  • where applicable, professional information about you, such as your job title and work experience;
  • your knowledge of and experience in investment matters;
  • details of our interactions with you and the products and services you use;
  • when you access our Website; data transmitted by your browser and automatically recorded by our server, including date and time of the access, name of the accessed file as well as the transmitted data volume and the performance of the access, your web browser, browser language and requesting domain and IP address (additional data will only be recorded via our Website if their disclosure is made voluntarily, e.g. in the course of a registration or request). When you visit our website, that website will contain additional information about how we use your information while you are visiting that website; and
  • in some cases (where permitted by law), special categories of personal data, such as your political opinions or affiliations, health information, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, and, to the extent legally possible, information relating to criminal convictions or offences.

This information is normally obtained directly from clients in a face to face meeting. It may also be obtained by telephone, post or other means.  We may also obtain some personal information from recording calls or meetings or by making contemporaneous notes of calls or meetings.

In some cases, we collect this information from other organisations such as investment/pension/insurance providers, where you have provided authority for them to share information relating to your existing plans, public registers, public administration or other third-party sources, such as wealth screening services, fraud prevention agencies, and intermediaries that facilitate data portability.

If relevant, we will also collect information about your additional account holders, business partners (including other shareholders or beneficial owners), dependants or family members, representatives, and agents. Before providing us with this information, you should provide a copy of this notice to those individuals.

Sharing and transferring personal information

We usually share personal data with other Jarrovian Group companies to ensure a consistently high service standard across Jarrovian and provide services and products to you.

We will not transfer your personal information to anyone unless we have a valid purpose and we will only disclose it to the following parties:

In some instances, we also share personal data with our suppliers, including Jarrovian Group companies and other business partners who provide services to us.  When we do so we take steps to ensure they meet our data security standards, so that your personal data remains secure.

Third parties who have entered into contractual arrangements with us to provide services we need to carry out our everyday business activities such as:

  • Data protection authorities.

How long do we store your data?

We keep your personal information securely for as long as we need to for the purpose of providing you with financial advice under the terms of our service/fee agreement (contract) or for as long as we are required to by relevant regulations.

Security

We take security measures to protect your information including:

  • limiting access to our building(s) to those that we believe are entitled to be there (by use of passes, key card access and other related technologies);
  • implementing access controls to our information technology, such as firewalls, ID verification and logical segmentation and/ or physical separation of our systems and information;
  • never asking you for your passwords;
  • advising you never to enter your account number or password into an email or after following a link from an email.

Security Note

As complete data security cannot be guaranteed for communication via e-mails, instant messaging and similar means of communication, we would recommend sending any particularly confidential information by an alternative secure means.

How long do we keep your data?

Jarrovian will not retain your personal information longer than necessary. We will hold onto the information you provide either while your account is in existence, or as needed to be able to provide the product and services to you, or for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.

If legally required or if it is reasonably necessary to meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our Terms and Conditions, we may also retain some of your information for a limited period of time as required, or it is no longer needed to provide the product and services to you.

18 or Under

We are concerned to protect the privacy of children aged 13 or under. If you are aged 13 or under‚ please get your parent/guardian’s permission beforehand whenever you provide us with personal information.

If you have parental responsibility for children under the age of 13, it is also very likely that we will record information on our systems that relates to those children and potentially, to their Special Category Personal Data.

Transferring your information outside of Europe

As part of the product and services offered to you, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK. By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Notice.

If you use our products and services while you are outside the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU in order to provide you with those services.

Data protection and the EU

At the end of the Brexit transition period, EU GDPR was kept in UK law as the UK GDPR.

The Data Protection Act 2018 and Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation (PECR) will continue to apply alongside the UK GDPR. This means that in practice there is little change to the core data protection principles, rights and obligations found in the UK GDPR.

Following the new trade deal with the EU at the end of the Brexit transition period, the UK Government legislated so that UK firms could continue to lawfully send personal data from the UK to the EEA and 13 other countries deemed by the EU as ensuring an adequate level of protection of personal data.

On 28 June 2021, the EU Commission confirmed that the UK’s data protection laws are robust enough to ensure data can safely flow to the UK from the EU without firms having to make changes to their data protection practices. These decisions are expected to last until 27 June 2025.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the regulator for data protection issues in the UK. The ICO continually updates its guidance to reflect the agreed provisions and we will ensure our business remains fully compliant.

Updates to our Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice was updated in October 2022.  This Privacy Notice may be updated periodically and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our personal information practices.  We will post a prominent notice on relevant websites to notify you of any significant changes to our Privacy Notice and indicate at the top of the Notice when it was most recently updated. If we update our Privacy Notice, in certain circumstances, we may seek your consent.
