Cookies

We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our sites. A cookie is a small file which helps us to analyse web traffic and allows us to respond to you as an individual, tailoring our operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

A cookie does not give us access to your computer or the data stored on it. For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them, see our Cookie Policy on our website. 

Where we store and process your data

The nature of the work we do means that we tend to collect, process and pass on personal data in the course of the assignments that we work on, the provision of the products we offer, the contacts we receive or make in the course of our business and the corporate, financial, tax and legal administration of our business. 

We aren’t in the business, except in exceptional circumstances, of taking or working with data dumps or databases. We may sometimes work for clients using data they give us access to but within their security protocols such as the use of SALESFORCE and other systems where our access will depend on the nature and duration of the engagement. 

The data we control is held via providers such as Google on an encrypted basis and the hardware and systems we use are password and security controlled. Where we are working with, or on behalf of clients, we will comply with their relevant security protocols.

You can find more details on Google’s:

https://policies.google.com/privacy/update 

We work predominantly within the EEA. However, the data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). In this event we will ensure extra protection is in place and only transfer data to countries with adequate Data Protection arrangements, for example through the Privacy Shield. 

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

If at any time we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our sites, then you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our sites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Our sites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

We only retain your data for so long as it is required in the course of the work we undertake, the performance of our legal obligations which may extend long after our particular contact or engagement has ended and to comply with any relevant, tax, legal or regulatory requirements. Where it is feasible and appropriate, we will anonymise data.

Our records are predominantly electronic and minimally hard copy. Our policy is to delete information when it is no longer required or necessary to carry out our obligations.

Sharing your data

We do not routinely share data. We do not contribute to or take marketing lists.

We may share your information with selected third parties including:

  • Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you.
  • Business partners, suppliers, sub-contractors and contacts at your request, or with your agreement, where – for example – it facilitates the provision of services.
  • Our accountants and auditors and any authorities, such as HMRC, Financial Conduct Authority or Law Enforcement, with whose requirements we must comply and in relation to which we must administer our business.
  • Analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our sites.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

  • In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
  • If FinCrime Protection Limited or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements.
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of FinCrime Protection Limited, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud and other financial crime protection and credit risk reduction.
