Client Privacy Notice

Introduction

We understand that you are aware of and care about your own personal privacy interests, and we take that seriously. This Privacy Notice explains how Oakglen Wealth (Jersey) Limited (“Oakglen”, “We”, “Us”, “Our”) collects, uses and discloses your personal data, and sets forth your rights in relation to the personal data it holds.

We ask that you read this privacy notice carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and on how to contact us, and supervisory authorities, in the event you have a complaint. This notice serves to inform you of the changes to data protection law under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law, 2018 (“DP Law”), as amended to incorporate legislation equivalent to EU Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”).

Oakglen aims to protect the privacy of our clients (“you”) as far as possible.

Where your details are provided to Oakglen as a consequence of your enlisting their services, then Oakglen, acting as a Data Controller may itself (or through a third party such as your chosen custodian (an “Administrator”) process any personal information we hold about you as our client. When processing your personal information, there may also be times where an Administrator will act as a data controller.

We recognise that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will from time to time update this Privacy Notice as we undertake new personal data practices or adopt new privacy policies. Where we do so, we will take appropriate steps to bring the amendment to your attention by publishing it on our website at www.oakglenwealth.com.

Privacy Team

Oakglen has appointed an internal privacy team for you to contact if you have any questions or concerns about our personal data policies or practices. Oakglen’s privacy team can be contacted at Jersey@oakglenwealth.com

depending on the products or services you require, third parties (including for anti- money laundering checks, among other things); and
recording and monitoring tools that we may use for compliance or security purposes (e.g. recording of telephone calls, monitoring emails, etc.).

The information we collect

As our client, we collect information that helps us to identify you and to manage our relationship with you. We also collect financial information about you, information about your transactions with us and information required for us to carry out anti-money laundering and other checks and to comply with our legal obligations.

In limited cases, we also collect what is known as “special categories” of information. Our money laundering, sanctions, financial crime and fraud prevention checks sometimes results in us obtaining information about political opinion, actual or alleged criminal convictions and offences.

You are not obliged to provide us with your information where it is requested but we may be unable to provide certain products and services or proceed with our business relationship with you if you do not do so. Where this is the case, we will make you aware.

How we transfer your information

The disclosure of personal information to the third parties set out above may involve the transfer of data to other jurisdictions outside Jersey and the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in accordance with the requirements of the DP Law, as amended or replaced from time to time. Such countries may not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. Some of these countries may have lower standards of data protection than in your home country, and not all countries outside of Jersey and the EEA have data protection laws that are similar to those in Jersey and EEA, so they may not be regarded by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. Where we transfer your information outside of Jersey and the EEA, we will ensure that the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with data protection laws. Often, these safeguards include contractual safeguards. Oakglen has Service Level Agreements in place with their Administrators and any relevant parties to whom personal data will be transferred. Please do contact us if you would like more information about these safeguards (see the “Contact Us” section below for further details).

Retention period

Oakglen and their Administrators will retain your personal information for as long as required for Oakglen or their Administrator to perform the Services and/or carry out the purposes for which the data was collected, or perform investigations in relation to the data depending on the legal basis for which that data was obtained and/or whether additional legal/regulatory obligations mandate that Oakglen retains your personal information.

Your rights

You may have the following rights under data protection laws:

Right of subject access: the right to make a written request for details of information about you held by Oakglen and a copy of that information.
Right to rectification: the right to have inaccurate information about you rectified. You must provide any relevant updates to your personal data held by Oakglen promptly to ensure its accuracy.
Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’): the right to have certain information about you erased.
Right to restriction of processing: the right to request that your information is only used for restricted purposes.
Right to object: the right to object to the use of your information, including the right to object to marketing.
Right to data portability: the right, in certain circumstances, to ask for information you have made available to us to be transferred to you or a third party in machine-readable formats.
Right to withdraw consent: the right to withdraw any consent you have previously given us to handle your information. If you withdraw your consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of Oakglen’s use of your information prior to the withdrawal of your consent.
These rights are not absolute: they do not always apply and exemptions may be engaged. We may, in response to a request, ask you to verify your identity and to provide information that helps us to understand your request better. If we do not comply with your request, we will explain why.
To exercise any of these rights, or if you have any other questions about our use of your information, please contact us at the details set out in the “Contact Us” section below.
If you are unhappy with the way we have handled your information you have a right to complain to the data protection regulator. In Jersey, the local regulator is the Office of the Information Commissioner. Their website is available at https://oicjersey.org/.

Security

Oakglen takes the protection of your personal information seriously, and has appropriate technical and organisational measures and policies in place to secure your information and to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful use and accidental loss or destruction. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will only do so in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. All staff of Oakglen are made aware of their information security responsibilities.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
