Personal Data We Obtain From Third Parties

We obtain data about you from third parties, primarily by conducting Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Checks using credit and fraud prevention agencies.

These checks search multiple sources to help us assess the strength of the information you supply before onboarding you as a client. They include:

  • Identity and residential address verification.

  • Sanctions checks and politically exposed person (PEP) checks.

  • Criminal record checks (for employees, known as DBS checks) to protect our clients and business from illegal activity.

These checks are performed on any individual or entity associated with an account investing funds or providing instructions.


Why We Use Your Personal Data (Purpose & Legal Basis)

We, or the data processors we work with, use your information for specific purposes, each supported by a legal basis required by Data Protection Laws.
