What information we collect and the purpose for which we will use your personal data
When you fill in our Contact form, we collect your name and email address as well as certain information about your business. The purpose of collecting this data is so we are able to get in touch with you about investment opportunities.
Lawful bases and data protection rights
Under UK data protection law, we must have a “lawful basis” for collecting and using your personal information. We rely on one the following "legal bases":
Consent – when you complete our Consent form you give us permission to contact you. As referenced below, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
Legitimate interests – we will use your personal data where it is necessary to conduct our business and pursue our legitimate interests, for example to analyse investment opportunities and ensure our business is operated securely and responsibly. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights (both positive and negative) before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required to by law).
The lawful basis we rely on may affect your data protection rights which are in brief set out below. You can find out more about your data protection rights and the exemptions which may apply on the ICO’s website:
Your right of access - You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. You can request other information such as details about where we get personal information from and who we share personal information with. There are some exemptions which means you may not receive all the information you ask for. You can read more about this right here.
Your right to rectification - You have the right to ask us to correct or delete personal information you think is inaccurate or incomplete. You can read more about this right here.
Your right to erasure - You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information. You can read more about this right here.
Your right to restriction of processing - You have the right to ask us to limit how we can use your personal information. You can read more about this right here.
Your right to object to processing - You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data. You can read more about this right here.
Your right to data portability - You have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us to another organisation, or to you. You can read more about this right here.
Your right to withdraw consent – When we use consent as our lawful basis you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can read more about this right here.
If you make a request, we must respond to you without undue delay and in any event within one month (although an extension may be required in certain cases). To make a data protection rights request, please contact us using the contact details at the top of this privacy notice.
Where we get personal information from

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
