7. Additional Information for residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom
Processing. Your personal information will be processed in the United States, and other countries outside the European Union and the United Kingdom (“Third Countries”), that may not offer the same level of data protection as that afforded by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, and the same as forms part of the law in the United Kingdom (the “GDPR”). We will process personal data (or ensure that it is processed) in such Third Countries subject to appropriate safeguards and in accordance with the requirements of applicable law, which may include having appropriate contractual undertakings in legal agreements with service providers who process personal data on our behalf in such Third Countries.
Legal basis for processing. We will use one of the permitted grounds under the GDPR to process your information. Such grounds include instances where you have given your consent and cases where your consent is not required under applicable law, such as where we are required to comply with a legal obligation, or where we, or a third party, determine that it is necessary for our legitimate interests to collect and use your personal information.
The legitimate interests to collect your personal information may include any of the purposes identified above and any other purpose where we or a third party have determined that you have a reasonable expectation for us or a third party to collect or use your personal information for such purpose. You have the right to object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Consequences of failing to provide personal information. As a regulated financial services firm, we are subject to legal and regulatory obligations that may require us to collect and store your personal information. We may also need to collect and use your personal information for the purposes of entering into or performance of a contractual arrangement between us.
A refusal to provide us with personal information may, depending on the purpose for which your personal information is required, have various consequences such as us being unable to communicate with you, the termination of any service or other contractual arrangement between us, or, where we have a reasonable suspicion of illegal activity, we may be required to make a report to regulatory or enforcement agencies.
Retention periods. We will generally keep personal information about you for as long as necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was collected, or for such longer period if required under applicable law or necessary for the purposes of our other legitimate interests.
The applicable retention period will depend on various factors, such as any legal obligation to which we or our service providers are subject as well as on whether you decide to exercise your right to request the deletion of your information from our systems. As a minimum, information about you will be retained for the entire duration of any business relationship we may have with you, and for a minimum period of five years after the termination of any such relationship.
We will, from time to time, review the purpose for which we have collected information about you and decide whether to retain it, update it, or securely delete it, if the information is no longer required.
Your rights. You may have certain rights under the GDPR in respect of the personal data we hold and which you may exercise. These rights are:
-
- to request access to your personal data;

-
- to request erasure of your personal data (a “right to be forgotten”);
-
- to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances;
