We will need to hold personal data about you in order to conduct your case and to satisfy our Anti Money Laundering obligations.

 

Your data will be held confidentially and we will only disclose any personal data to a third party in order to progress your case or according to our legal obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017.

 

Your data will be held according to the timescales set out for storage of papers in our Terms and Conditions. We may, from time to time, use these details to send you information which we think may be of interest to you.

 

If you believe there is a problem with our data processing, please contact us or use our Complaint Procedure, which is also in our Terms and Conditions.

 

Under the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 you have the following rights over your personal data:
