Privacy Policy

A large body of water with waves on it

Amberton Limited Privacy Policy

Amberton Limited (“Amberton”) (“We”) or (“Us”) conform with the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 and General Data Protection Regulation EU 2016/679 (“GDPR”). Amberton is registered with the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner.

Amberton can be contacted regarding this Privacy Policy: Data Controller, Amberton Limited, 4th Floor, Windward House, La Route de la Liberation, St Helier, JE2 3BQ.

Amberton has determined it is unnecessary to appoint a Data Protection Officer, however, the Data Controller is the main contact regarding privacy issues.

This Privacy Policy sets out how we will use personal information we collect and receive about you.

Amberton is committed to ensuring personal data is processed fairly with appropriate safeguards which consider your privacy rights. We limit access to your personal information to employees who we believe have a reasonable need to access your information in order to carry out their jobs.

Policy statement

We will only collect and use your personal information where we have lawful grounds and legitimate business reasons to do so. We will be transparent in our dealings with you and will tell you how we will collect and use your personal information. If we have collected your personal information for a particular purpose we will not use it for any other purpose unless you have been informed, we have a legitimate interest, or where we are legally obliged to. We will update our records when you inform us your details have changed. We will implement appropriate retention policies and ensure your personal information is securely disposed of at the end of the appropriate period. We will observe the rights granted to you under the applicable privacy and data protection laws. We will train our staff on their privacy obligations. We will ensure we have appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect your personal information and when we outsource any processes, the supplier has appropriate measures in place.

What information we collect

We will collect personal information about you and any associated parties you are authorised to disclose data about. This will include information such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, date of birth, nationality, financial and banking details, identification documents, tax identification numbers, and technical details including your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, login information, browser type and operating system.

Where an application is on behalf of a business we will require information in respect of the business itself as well as personal information relating to the Principals, including but not limited to any directors, partners, members, shareholders, ultimate beneficial owners, trustees, settlors and/or beneficiaries (whatever the case may be).

Where we obtain the information

This information will be collected when you access our website, register your interest for our services and complete an application. We will also collect information from other parties acting on your behalf and from our employees when interacting with you regarding the use of our facilities. We will collect information during the term of any contract between you and us.

What we do with the information

We are required to process your information at your request to enter into, and thereafter manage, a contract. Failure to provide the necessary information will not permit us to offer you such contract.

We will use your information to achieve the legal obligation of assessing the suitability of the contract. We may share your information with other categories of recipient, subject to the purpose of processing. These may include (and not limited to): Oakbridge Corporate Services (Jersey) Limited, Altum Trustees Limited and Carlton Management Services Limited as Administrators, Law Enforcement or other government bodies (to assist them in preventing crime, tax avoidance or other fraudulent activities), where appropriate.

We have a legitimate interest in:

  • contacting you from time to time to tell you about similar products or services which we believe you could be interested in;
  • sharing your information with other companies in our wider Group, affiliated or associated companies, ensuring adequate protection of your information; or
  • the use of your information for statistical purposes for us to improve our products and services.

In the event that we are unable to enter into a contract with you, we will require your explicit consent to share your information with third-party companies who offer similar products and who may be able to assist you.

Retention

There are certain regulatory requirements for the retention of any personal data we hold. We will only hold data for as long as necessary which considers these requirements. For instance, we will retain your personal data for 6 years after the last transaction/dealing with us, unless we have a legitimate reason to retain it for longer.

Transferring or storing data outside the EU

Occasionally we will be required to share your data with other parties. These parties may be located within or outside of the European Union. Where these parties operate (i) in territories within the EU, (ii) in territories which have been granted EU adequacy status for transferring of data, or (iii) within the US and subscribe to the US-EU Privacy Shield, there are appropriate safeguards in place for the transfer of your personal data. Where these parties may be located in another territory, we will ensure there are adequate contractual clauses in place to safeguard the transfer of your personal data.
