This privacy statement explains how Asset Management Consulting Limited (trading as AMCL) and/or its group companies (“we”, “us”, “our”) collect information from you via our websites (the “Website”) and associated online platforms, or in any manner expressly described in this privacy statement, and how the information is then used. References to “you” means the user of the Website or associated online platforms.
AMCL processes personal data for numerous purposes, and the means of collection, lawful basis of processing, use, disclosure, and retention periods for each purpose may differ. When collecting and using personal data, our policy is to be transparent about why and how we process personal data. To find out more about our specific processing activities, please go to the relevant sections of this statement.
Registration is not required for you to use the Website. If you are a visitor, we do not collect any personal information about you, except to the limited extent through the use of cookies, which is described below. However, there may be circumstances in which you choose to give us personal information, such as in the cases set out below. In these cases, AMCL may contact registrants to provide them with information about our services, publications and products, invite them to events, or for other marketing purposes.
These are the most common scenarios for data collection and the data processing we do for each:
If you give us information about another person, we will take this as confirmation from you that they have appointed you to act for them, to consent to the processing of their personal data including sensitive personal data and that you have informed them of our identity and the purposes (as set out in this privacy statement) for which their personal data will be processed. Where you provide information about referees, you should ensure that they have given their permission.
Information collected when you sign up via our Website and associated online platforms is protected using industry-standard encryption technology, which we require from all Website technology providers and associated platform providers.
If you register on our Website, your personal information may be stored in our contacts and marketing database (CMD) system. The data of users who have signed up will remain in our CMD system for as long as we require in order to maintain an effective relationship with you, unless you ask us to delete your information. If you wish to be excluded from our CMD system, please contact us.
Please note that instances of data collection other than the ones mentioned above may have different applicable retention periods, for example our client contracts. If you wish to know about your data’s retention period, please contact us.
We may supplement the information you provide during sign up with other publically available data that is associated with the data you have provided. For example, if you provide your name and email address, we may supplement this information on our CMD with your company name.
We may use the personal data you provide via signing up on our website and associated platforms, as well as supplementary information from other sources as per above, for the following purposes:
We may need to share your information with our service providers and agents for the above purposes. We will never sell your data or purposely allow it to be used in any way other than that originally intended. We may disclose personal data to our successors in business in the future but only for the purposes outlined in this privacy statement. We may also disclose personal data in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligations.
For quality control and training purposes, we may monitor or record your communications with us.
Sensitive personal data includes information revealing racial or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious or philosophical beliefs; trade-union membership; the processing of genetic or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person; information concerning health; information concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation; and in some cases, social security numbers or financial information.
We may ask you about ethnic origin and disability as part of completing online job applications for the purposes of equal opportunities monitoring. We may also use information about a disability for the purposes of making any necessary adjustments if you are invited to interview.
Please also note that if you submit a photograph of yourself as part of your CV, it may reveal sensitive personal data about you which we wouldn’t have otherwise collected. Other than for job application purposes, we will not ask for, or store, sensitive personal data. We ask that you do not provide sensitive personal data to us when using our website; if you choose to do so for any reason, the act of doing so constitutes your explicit consent for us to collect and use that information in the ways described in this privacy statement or as described at the point where you choose to disclose this information.
The Website and associated platforms have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the personal data under our control.
AMCL may disclose your personal information outside of our company in the following instances:
AMCL may ask external service providers to assist with information technology and other administrative support services to operate our Website and associated platforms.
From time to time, we may link to third party websites that are not governed by this privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these third party websites and/or for third party advertisers, nor for the way in which information about their users is treated. In particular, unless expressly stated, we are not agents for these third party websites or advertisers, nor are we authorised to make representations on their behalf.
By providing us with your personal data, you consent to our transferring such personal data to countries or jurisdictions which do not provide the same level of protection as the UK, if necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy statement. If we do make such a transfer, we will, if appropriate, put a contract in place to ensure that your information is protected.
