What personal data we collect and why we collect it

This Policy sets out the obligations of Davey Wealth Management Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under number12380133, whose registered office is at C/O Lowe Henwood, The Lodge, 149 Mannamead Road, Plymouth PL3 5NU (“the Company”) regarding data protection and the rights of clients and/or prospective clients (“data subjects”) in respect of their personal data under EU Regulation 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

The GDPR defines “personal data” as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

This Policy sets the Company’s obligations regarding the collection, processing, transfer, storage, and disposal of personal data. The procedures and principles set out
herein must be followed at all times by the Company, its employees, agents, contractors, or other parties working on behalf of the Company.

How do we gather and use your personal information?

We collect your personal information in a number of ways. This begins with any interactions we have with you for example:

when you communicate with us over the phone, via email or the website (www.daveywm.co.uk);
from information you provide to us when you interact with us for example when you contact us about our services;
when you ask us to provide services to you and subsequently provide us with the necessary information;
from third parties, such as our Appointed Representative Advisers in maintaining our records as a regulated Network;
where you provide us with personal data relating to others (e.g. your family members), we understand that you either have their consent or are entitled to provide this information to us for subsequent use;
in the other ways you interact with us during your time with us, for some of the reasons set out below.

We collect the following types of personal data about you:

your name, and contact information such as address, email address and telephone number;

We may also collect special categories of personal data, including more sensitive personal data, such as information concerning your health and medical conditions (“special category data“).

How we use your information and our basis for processing that information

We may process your personal data because it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. Under these circumstances, we use your personal data for the following:

to interact with you for example when you express your interest in our services (for example, to answer enquiries about our services);
to provide you with the services as set out in our Client Agreement or Terms of Business or any other contractual document (including, but not limited to, the provision of our services where applicable, the processing of your sensitive personal data, for example where your health and/or medical details are relevant to the calculation of annuities, pensions or other benefits);
to deal with any concerns or feedback you may have;
for any other purpose for which you provide us with your personal data.

Legitimate Interests

We may also process your personal data because it is necessary for our or a third party’s (this is a person or organisation external to Davey Wealth Management Ltd) legitimate interests. Our “legitimate interests” include our commercial interests in operating our business in a client-focused, efficient and sustainable manner, in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. In this respect, we may use your personal data for the following:

to monitor and evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our services, including by training our staff or monitoring their performance, and for the monitoring of communications, as set out in the section below.
out-sourcing selected ‘back office’ functions to third parties (for example, vendors of hosted software solutions or cloud storage providers) for the purposes of efficient, fast and secure access to information.
to seek advice on our rights and obligations, such as where we require our own legal advice;
as part of a reorganisation, sale or negotiations for sale of all or part of our business;
to follow up with you after you request information to see if we can provide any further assistance and for more general marketing purposes, including in order to keep you informed (by letter, telephone, email and other electronic means) of services from us which may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive such information, please let us know now or at any time in the future, and your details will be removed from our mailing list(s).

Compliance

We may also process your personal data for our compliance with our legal obligations. In this respect, we may use your personal data for the following:

to confirm your identity and carry out background checks for anti-money laundering and ‘know your client’ purposes (including as part of our Appointed Representative checks to prevent fraud and other crimes);

Any use of your personal information by such agencies will be subject to those agencies’ own privacy policies and terms of use, unless they are acting only on our behalf when processing your personal information;

to fulfil our obligations under any reporting agreement entered into with any tax authority or revenue service(s) from time to time, including but not limited to HMRC, as is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations;
in order to assist with investigations (including criminal investigations) carried out by the police and other competent authorities; and
to meet our other compliance and regulatory obligations, including in order to comply with any requirement of any applicable statute, regulation, regulatory rule and good practice, whether originating from the UK or elsewhere.

Other Purposes

We may also process your personal data where:

it is necessary to protect your or another person’s vital interests;
it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (for example, to protect and defend our rights or property, and/or the rights or property of our clients, or of third parties, including where applicable relying on recordings or monitored observations from communications with you);
we have your specific or, where necessary, explicit consent to do so.

Monitoring of communications

The content of email communications may be monitored for the following purposes:

for training purposes, allowing us to improve the quality of our communications;
as evidence of your instructions and to ensure that we are providing a high-quality service to you; and
in pursuit of our legal obligations or in compliance with regulatory rules or requirements;
for the establishment, exercise or defence of disputes or legal claims (where relevant); and
for preventing or detecting crime (including fraud).

Disclosure of your information (when it may be shared with others)

We may disclose your personal data:

to any other organisations that we may engage to perform, or assist in the performance of, our services or to advise us, provided that they will only be given access to your personal data (including your sensitive personal data, where applicable) to perform such assistance, services or advice and not for other purposes. We shall endeavour to ensure that any such organisation undertakes to adopt appropriate security measures in respect of your personal data;
to counterparties where disclosure is reasonably necessary for the purpose of effecting transactions in connection with our Client Agreement or Terms of Business or any other contractual document or of establishing a dealing relationship with a view to such transactions;
where we have your permission to reveal the information;
to any ‘connected person’ as set out in our Client Agreement or Terms of Business or any other contractual document, unless you expressly instruct us in writing to do otherwise;
if you are a joint client, to the other client named in any relevant Client Agreement or Terms of Business or any other contractual document;
as part of a reorganisation, sale or negotiations for sale of all or part of our business (subject to appropriate security and confidentiality measures);
in circumstances in which we are required or authorised by law (including, but not limited to, data protection legislation), court order, regulatory or governmental authorities to disclose your personal data; and
where you are a beneficiary or policyholder in respect of a portfolio, fund or account which is legally owned by a third-party provider, to such third-party provider.

Transferring your information outside of Europe

We do not operate globally, and therefore your personal data will not be transmitted to and processed outside of the UK in countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK.

How long your information is kept

We will retain your personal data for as long as we are providing you with the services referred to in any relevant Client Agreement, Terms of Business or any other contractual document, and for as long as permitted or required for legal, regulatory, fraud prevention and our legitimate business purposes after the closure of your
account, if the relationship between you and us has terminated, or if your application for a particular service or services is declined or abandoned.

Your rights

You have the following rights:

to obtain access to, and copies of, the personal data that we hold about you;
to require that we cease processing your personal data if the processing is causing you damage or distress;
to require us not to send you marketing communications.
to require us to correct the personal data we hold about you if it is incorrect;
to require us to erase your personal data;
to require us to restrict our data processing activities (and, where our processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent, without affecting the lawfulness of our processing based on consent before its withdrawal);
to receive from us the personal data we hold about you which you have provided to us, in a reasonable format, including for the purpose of you transmitting that personal data to another data controller;
to require us to comply with your objection, to any of our particular processing activities where you feel this has a disproportionate impact on your rights.

Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply.

If you have given your consent and you wish to withdraw it, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details set out below. Please note that where our processing of your personal data relies on your consent and where you then withdraw that consent, we may not be able to provide all or some aspects of our
services to you and/or it may affect the provision of those services.

If you are not satisfied with how we are processing your personal data, you can raise a concern with the Information Commissioner. You can also find out more about
your rights under data protection legislation from the Information Commissioner’s Office website available at: www.ico.org.uk.
