Where sensitive personal data is collected and processed as part of any of the activities below, this will be stated in the relevant processing descriptions. Sensitive personal data processed may include the following:
When collecting and processing personal data, we will only process the minimum amount of personal data relevant to the specific purpose it is collected for. We will only use the data for the original purpose for which it was collected (stated below) or a further purpose which you have consented to or that is compatible with the original purpose for which it was collected and that is likely to be in line with your expectations regarding the processing of that data.
If certain elements of personal data are not provided, then we may not be able to conduct all relevant processing required (including meeting regulatory requirements) and as such not be able to provide the full range of products and services.
Conducting checks and assessments prior to doing business
This will include Anti-Money Laundering checks as well as screening personal data against known sanctions and politically exposed persons (“PEP”) lists. This processing is conducted to detect and prevent financial crime. It is also necessary for us to meet our legal and regulatory obligations as a company. We, and / or our transfer agency, conduct the screening check automatically using third-party systems provided by FinScan,CitiScreening and WorldCheck which compares personal data against a number of official sanctions lists and PEP lists. Your details will also be checked with a credit rating company like Experian as part of the investor account opening process. The result of these checks will be considered by a member of our, or the transfer agency, staff in determining whether we can proceed with conducting business/providing a service or not.

To develop our products and services.
This includes reviewing our existing offering of products and services, making required improvements and launching new products/services.

Where these processes include personal information they are conducted in our legitimate interest to ensure we provide the best products and services for our customers.
