Aretis Advisors Limited acts as the data controller and is responsible for your personal data in the circumstances set out in this policy.

Our use of your personal data will be in accordance with this policy and in line with data protection legislation and guidance.
Privacy Notice
How we use your personal data
Aretis Advisors Limited take our data protection responsibilities seriously. This Notice explains how we use personal data.
What personal data do we collect?
We keep records of communications between us, copies of passports, driver’s licenses and utility bills to confirm identity where necessary and information required to assess the suitability of the proposed business relationship. Data that we hold can include but is not limited to name and contact details, identity documentation, financial information, project information and information on criminal and / or civil matters.
Where do we obtain personal data?
Most of the information we hold is supplied direct to us by you, when you approach us directly or via our website or from face to face or other communication. Some financial data is obtained from publicly accessible sources such as Companies House, the Courts and credit reference agencies. The other source for company representatives is their employer.
How long is personal data kept?
When we have a contract with you, we will retain the data until the business relationship has ended and for a period of seven years thereafter.
Where no contract has been entered into, we will instead keep a summary of the relevant information on file which will be deleted periodically.
Is the personal information shared with any third parties?
We share your personal information with other relevant parties such as Investors and Service Providers. We may also use third party contractors to support the provision of our services, who may be required to access your personal information in order to fulfil their duties.
Is the data transferred outside the EU/EEA
The third party contractors referred to above may be based outside of the UK/EU/EEA and so they may be required to access your personal information in order to fulfil their duties.
We will undertake regular training of our contractors to ensure that they are fully aware of their obligations to you under UK data protection legislation.
Your data protection rights
You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data we hold that relates to you as an individual. If you think that information is incorrect or misleading you have the right to have the information corrected. You can also request the erasure of personal data relating to you in certain circumstances.
If you are unhappy about the way we use your personal data or the way in which we respond to your request to exercise your data protection rights, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with any concerns so please contact us in the first instance.
