Privacy notice
This privacy notice explains how we use any personal information we collect about you.
Personal Information
What information do we collect about you?
We may collect information when you voluntarily complete questionnaires, surveys, download or access information provided by us or give us feedback. Our telephone and video calls may be recorded.
When you visit our website, cookies are either served directly by us, or by our business partners.
Why do we need to collect and use your personal data?
The primary legal basis for the processing of your data is for the performance of our contract to provide you with services. The information that we collect about you is essential for us to be able to carry out the services that you require from us effectively. Without collecting your personal data we may also be unable to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations.
Recorded calls and videos may be also used for the purposes of training and development.
How will we use the information about you?
We collect information about you in order to provide you with the services for which you engage us. This includes collecting information that may be relevant if you were to engage us in the future.
Who might we share your information with?
If you agree, we may email you about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you.
We will not share your personal information for marketing purposes with companies outside our group of companies.
In order to deliver our services to you effectively, we may send your details to third parties such as those that we engage for professional compliance, accountancy or legal services, as well as product and platform providers that are used to arrange financial products.
Where third parties are involved in processing your data, we will have a contract in place with them to ensure that the nature and purpose of the processing is clear, that they are subject to a duty of confidence in processing your data and that they will only act in accordance with our written instructions.
Where it is necessary for your personal data to be forwarded to a third-party, we will use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in transit. Such measures include uploading information directly onto the third-party website and extracting data from the same website.
To fulfil our obligations in respect of the prevention of money-laundering and other financial crime we may send your details to third party agencies for identity verification purposes.
How long do we keep hold of your information?
In principle, your personal data should not be held for longer than is required. However, where necessary, we are subject to regulatory requirements to retain data for specified minimum periods. We also reserve the right to retain data for longer than this due to the possibility that it may be required to defend a future claim against us. In any case, providing there is no regulatory obligation to retain data, we will not retain your personal data for longer than 10 years following your instruction to leave Saltus Partnership.
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. We will comply with this request, subject to the restrictions of our regulatory obligations and legitimate interests as noted above.
How can I access the information you hold about me? You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information please email or write to us using the contact details noted below.
When your personal data is processed by automated means you have the right to ask us to move your personal data to another organisation for their use.
We have an obligation to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. Please ask us to correct or remove any information that you think is incorrect.
Marketing
We would like to send you information about our products and services and those of other companies in our group which may be of interest to you. If you have agreed to receive marketing information, you may opt-out at a later date.
You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes or giving your information to other members of the group. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please contact us by email or post by using the details at the end of this page.
Cookies
We may send cookies to your computer. Cookies are strings of information that are sent out by a website and saved in your computer. Cookies allow a website to, among other things, store and retrieve information about a user’s online activity and browsing habits. Depending on the information they contain and user behaviour, cookies may be used to identify the user. When you visit our website, cookies are either served directly by us, third-party platforms or by our business partners.
Here is a description of the different kinds of cookies we use:
Cookies can be categorised by who places them:

- Third-party cookies: These cookies are downloaded to a user’s computer (or other device) by another entity that may be seeking data obtained through cookies
Cookies can also be categorised by their duration:
- Session cookies: These cookies are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are often used to store information for the duration of a visit to the website (e.g. what account user is logged into). Once a user leaves the website, the session cookie is deleted. We may use session specific cookies and “web bugs” to automatically collect data about website usage when you visit this Site, including your IP address, “click-stream” data regarding the portions of the site that you visit and the information or other services you obtain or input (including domain name, Internet service provider, protocol, browser type, operating system etc.)
- Persistent cookies: These cookies store data on the user’s computer (or other device) for the duration period set within the cookie’s file, which is determined by the entity controlling the cookie and can range from a few minutes to several years, or until the user manually deletes them.

- Analytical cookies: Analytical cookies collect and report information on how users interact with our website. They enable measuring the number of visitors as well as page specific performance data. This information is used to improve the website and the products or services offered by us.
- Marketing cookies: Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites to allow publishers to display engaging advertisements. They are used to understand user interests, provide relevant adverts, and make a user’s online experience more enjoyable. They can be used to build a user profile to provide users with content more relevant to their interests. They adapt advertising and the content users see on other websites based on their website browsing habits, as well as how users interact with internet advertising.
If you would like to see the specific individual cookies we use, you can view these within our ‘Cookie declaration.’ This sits within the ‘Cookie settings’ section of the cookie consent management banner that appears on this website.
