Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Magee Gammon Financial Planning Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses and shares your personal data, and your rights in relation to the personal data we hold. This privacy notice concerns our processing of personal data for past, prospective and present clients of Magee Gammon Financial Planning Ltd (“you”, “your”).

For the purposes of data protection law, we are a data controller in respect of your personal data.  We are responsible for ensuring that we use your personal data in compliance with data protection law.

How do we collect information about you?

We collect your personal information in a number of ways:

  • during interactions we have before you become a client, for example when you contact us about our services or when we speak with you to understand more about your circumstances;
  • when you ask us to provide services to you and subsequently provide us with the necessary information;
  • from third parties, for example when we carry out our routine checks on your identity before we can provide our services;
  • 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.

This information will relate to your personal and financial circumstances. It may also include special categories of personal data such as data about your health if this is necessary for the provision of our services.

Why do we need to collect and use your personal data?

We must have a lawful basis to process your personal data. Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

We have a contractual obligation

This is the primary legal basis that we intend to use for processing your data. The personal information that we collect about you is essential for us to be able to effectively carry out the services that we have agreed to deliver to you.

Compliance with our legal obligations

Sometimes, collecting personal data is needed to meet our legal and regulatory obligations. For example, UK anti money laundering legislation may require us to collect personal information to verify your identity.

Following your consent

Special category data, such as that relating to health matters, is usually required to provide our services. As part of our Terms of Business, we seek your explicit consent to the collection and processing of personal sensitive data to the extent that it is necessary for the provision of our services to you..

We have a legitimate interest

We rely on legitimate interest to retain relevant data for the purpose of assessing the appropriateness of our services, defending future complaints and meeting our Professional Indemnity Insurer’s expectations.

How will we use information about you?

We collect information about you in order to provide you with the services for which you engage us.

Who might we share your information with?

We will not share your information for marketing purposes with anyone outside our company.

In order to deliver our services to you effectively we may send your details to third parties such as those that we engage for professional compliance, accountancy or legal services as well as product and platform providers that we use to arrange financial products for you.

Where third parties are involved in processing your data, we will have a contract in place with them to ensure that the nature and purpose of the processing is clear, that they are subject to a duty of confidence in processing your data and that they’ll only act in accordance with our written instructions.

Where it’s necessary for your personal data to be forwarded to a third party we’ll use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in transit such as password protection and/or encryption of data.

To fulfil our obligations in respect of prevention of Money Laundering and other Financial Crime we may send your details to third party agencies for identity verification purposes.

How long do we keep hold of your information?

We will retain your personal data for as long as we are providing you with the services referred to in our Terms of Business or any other contractual document. In addition, we will retain your personal data for as long as is required to meet our legal and regulatory obligations following the cessation of the provision of our services.  We reserve the right to retain data for longer where we believe it’s in our legitimate interests to do so.

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. We will comply with this request, subject to the restrictions of our regulatory obligations and legitimate interests as noted above.

How can I access the information you hold about me?

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information please email or write to us using the contact details noted below.

When your personal data is processed by automated means, you have the right to ask us to move your personal data to another organisation for their use.

We have an obligation to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. Please ask us to correct or remove any information that you think is incorrect.
