Retaining Personal Information:

Safeguarding the privacy of your information is important to us, whether you interact with us personally, by phone, by mail, over the interest or any other electronic device. We hold personal information in a combination of secure computer storage facilities and paper-based files and other records and take steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, and modification of disclosure.

When we consider that personal information is no longer needed, we will remove any details that will identify you or we will securely destroy the records.

However, we may need to maintain records for a significant period of time. For example, we are subject to certain anti-money laundering laws, which require us to retain:

• A copy of the documents we used to comply with our customer due diligence obligations; and
• Supporting evidence and records of transactions with you and your relationship with us;

 

For a period of five years after our business relationship with you has ended.

If we hold any personal information in the form of a recorded communication, by telephone, electronic, in person or otherwise, this information will be held in line with local regulatory requirements which will either be 5 years or 10 years after our business relationship with you has ended.

Where you have opted out of receiving marketing communications, we will hold your details on our opt out list so that we know you do not want to receive these communications.
