If this happens, we’ll let you know, and we’ll endeavour to ensure the data is used in line with this Client Privacy Notice.

When transferring information to countries outside the UK, we take appropriate steps to ensure your information is protected.   

How long do we keep your information?   

We’ll keep your information as long as is necessary for the purpose we’ve collected it for. When you have a relationship with FIL, we’ll usually keep your information for as long as you maintain that relationship, and then for six years after you end that relationship.   

In some circumstances, we’ll keep data longer if we need to and/or if we’re required to by law. But, there’s some information we may not keep for the full lifetime of your relationship with FIL – for example, call recordings.   

Your rights   

You have rights when it comes to your personal information, and there are several requests you can make to exercise these rights:   

The right to be informed how we're using your information 

You can ask us to tell you who we share your information with and how we store your information and so on. 

The right to access your information   

You can ask us for a copy of any information we hold on you.  

The right to rectify your information   

You have the right to ask us to correct information you feel is inaccurate, incomplete, or both.   

The right to restrict how we use your information   

In some cases, you have the right to restrict us from processing or deleting your information. There are some things we need to use your information for – for example, to help protect you from fraud and to fulfil legal and contractual obligations. This may mean we’re unable to restrict how we use your information.   

The right to object to how we use your information   

In some cases, you have the right to object to the way we process your information. For example, when we’re processing your information for direct marketing. There are some situations where we will not stop processing your information despite your objection – for example, to meet legal or regulatory obligations, or to continue to have a relationship with you.   

The right to erasure   

In some cases, you have the right to have your information erased. We may not be able to agree to your request if it affects our ability to meet our legal or regulatory obligations, or to continue to have a relationship with you.   

The right to data portability   

You have the right to ask us to transfer a copy of some of your information to you or to a new data controller – for example, another financial provider. This applies when you’ve shared your information with us, it has been collected with your consent, or where collecting it was necessary for the agreement between us.   

The right to human intervention   

You have the right not to be subject to a decision that's based solely on automated processing, if the decision affects your legal rights (for example, if we automatically reject your application for a Flagstone account). However, we do not make automated decisions right now, so this isn't applicable. 

The right to withdraw your consent   

Where we’re relying on your consent to process any of your information, you have a right to withdraw that consent at any time.  

If you’re a FIL client and you’ve consented to marketing, you can change your marketing preferences at any time on the client portal, by email or by phone.   

Exercising your rights   

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact the Client Services Team at clientservices@flagstoneinternational.com. We’ll review your request and get back to you within four weeks. We may extend this deadline by up to eight weeks if necessary. At the time of your request, we may ask you for further information, including proof of id, before we can act on your request.

If you’re concerned with how we've handled your information, please contact our Data Protection Officer at data.protection@flagstoneim.com.   
  
You also have the right to complain to the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner: jerseyoic.org.
