Privacy Notice (GDPR)

This privacy notice explains how the Castle Trust Group (‘we’) use any personal information we collect about you.

 

What information do we collect about you and why?

We collect and use personal data on the basis that it is in its legitimate interests to do so, for example to keep records of transactions and to provide a service to its customers.

We collect information via our onboarding process and throughout our relationship with you in order to comply with regulation and for the purpose of performing our contract with you. The provision of your personal data is required in order to enter into a contract with us; however the provision of information for marketing purposes is voluntary. We may record and monitor phone calls made to or by us in order to comply with regulatory obligations.

 

How long do we keep this information?

We will keep your information for 5 years after we last heard from you (or any other period as required by Gibraltar regulations).

 

Who do we share your information with?

  • our appointed auditors, accountants, lawyers and other professional advisers, to the extent that they require access to the information to provide advice;
  • fraud prevention agencies and other organisations to allow us to undertake the relevant checks;
  • providers of investments or services we recommend, including providers of pensions, offshore bonds, onshore bonds, trusts, investment platforms, discretionary management services, custodians, insurance products or other such products or services. We may also be required to share information with the auditors appointed by the providers of such products or services;
  • the Financial Supervision Commission or any relevant regulatory authority where they are entitled to require disclosure;
  • if required to do so to meet applicable law, the order of a Court or market rules and codes of practice applicable to the circumstances at the time;
  • relevant authorities to investigate or prevent fraud or activities believed to be illegal or otherwise in breach of applicable law;
  • if tax regulations require us to collect information about  tax residency, then in certain circumstances (including if we do not receive a valid self-certification from you), we may be obliged to share information about your account with the relevant tax, payments and customs authority, who may pass this on to tax authorities in other jurisdictions;
  • our IT providers and services providers in order to provide and maintain the provision of our services;

We will not lend or sell your information to third parties.

Your personal information may need to be shared with our service providers, which may involve transferring it to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where we do so, we will ensure that we do this in accordance with current data protection legislation by only transferring your data to jurisdictions in respect of which there is a European Commission adequacy decision or, where this is not the case, by using model clauses which have been approved by the European Commission.
