For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), Auguration will be the ‘controller’ of the personal data you provide. Please read the following information carefully in order to understand the Company’s practices in relation to the treatment of your personal data.

What data privacy principles does the Company adhere to?

The Company will process all personal data in a lawfully, fair and transparent manner;
The Company will only collect personal data where it is necessary;
- For the Company to provide a service to you;
- For you to provide a service to the Company;
- For the Company to keep you informed of its products and services; or
- For the Company to comply with its legal and regulatory obligations.
The personal data collected by the Company will be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the specific purpose for which your data will be processed;
The Company will take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is accurate and, were necessary, kept up-to-date;
The Company will maintain personal data in a form that permits identification no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data has been collected for processing, in accordance with the Company’s record retention requirements as mandated by the Financial Conduct Authority;
The Company will hold and process person data in a manner that ensures appropriate security;
The Company will only share personal data where it is necessary to provide the agreed service or where it is necessary for the Company to comply with its legal and regulatory requirements.
The Company will only utilise a service provider based outside of the UK for the processing of personal data where this is strictly necessary to facilitate our services to you. In all cases, we will ensure service providers are fully compliant with GDPR, or deemed equivalent, ahead of transferring any personal data.

What personal data does the Company collect and why?

In the course of providing products/services to you, the Company may collect information that is considered personal information (e.g. name, contact details, address, passport number, driving licence).

As a client, contact or employee of Auguration, we will require some personal information in order to verify your identity and have the applicable relationship with you. Some of this information may be required to satisfy legal obligations (e.g. to comply with obligations arising under the money laundering regulations whereas other information may be required in connection with the provision of services to you). The information collected will vary depending on the service the Company provides to you or you provide to the Company, but typically includes:

Personal information: Such as your name, date of birth, passport number or national insurance number;
Contact information: Including your address, telephone number and email address.

Where does the Company store my personal data?

The Company has comprehensive policies and procedures in place to ensure your personal data is kept safe and secure, with these including:

Data encryption;
Firewalls;
Intrusion detection;
24/7 physical protection of the facilities where your data is stored (i.e. Microsoft’s UK data centres);
Background checks for personnel that access physical facilities; and
Security procedures across all service operations.

How long does the Company retain personal data?

As a regulated entity, the Company is required to maintain its books and records for a prescribed period (five years from either the ceasing of a business relationship, or, in the case of non-clients, from the making of a record – or alternatively, for seven years, where specifically requested to do so by the Financial Conduct Authority). As such, information that falls in scope of either of these requirements is retained in line with the mandated timeframe.

Any information that is outside the scope of this requirement will be retained whilst relevant and useful, and destroyed where this ceases to be the case or where the data subject specifically requests this.

How have I been categorised in accordance with GDPR?

The GDPR requires the Company to inform you of the legal basis on which we maintain your personal data. Typically, the Company will reach out to you personally to confirm this; however, as a general rule the following is applicable:

Clients – Information is maintained on the basis of contractual obligation and/or legitimate interests (where relevant);
Service providers – Information is maintained on the basis of contractual obligation; and
Database/marketing contacts – Information is maintained on the basis of legitimate interest.

What are my rights?

Once you have provided your details to the Company, you have certain rights which apply, depending on your relationship with the Company, the information you have shared with us and the Company’s legal and regulatory obligations.

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 the Company (details below). The Company will provide this information to you within one month (with the ability to extend this by an additional two months where necessary), free of charge.
You have the right to request that the information the Company holds about you is erased under certain circumstances including where there is no additional legal and/or regulatory requirement for the Company to retain this information.
As a client, you have the right to request that any information the Company holds about you be provided to another company in a commonly used and machine-readable format, otherwise known as ‘data portability’.
You have the right to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date, or where necessary rectified. Where you feel that your personal data is incorrect or inaccurate and should therefore be updated, please contact the Company (details below).
You have the right to object to your information being processed, for example for direct marketing purposes.
You have the right to restrict the processing of your information, for example limiting the material that you receive or where your information is transferred.
You have the right to object to any decisions based on the automated processing of your personal data, including profiling.
