The Company and its affiliates will collect your personal data. This privacy policy intends to show you how your personal data is processed, for what purposes this will be done and what rights you have in relation to the personal data that will be collected and used. Personal data is at all times processed in order for North Asset Management to fulfil its obligations.
Personal data
North Asset Management complies with its General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”) obligations and ensures that personal data shall be processed lawfully and in a transparent manner in relation to you; that the personal data shall be collected and processed for the purposes stated; that the personal data shall be accurate and at all times kept up to date; that the personal data shall be kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is collected; and that the personal data shall be adequately securitised and be protected against loss, unauthorised access or processing, and destruction or damage.
Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential, and will be shared only with North Asset Management. Your personal data will only be shared with third parties if consent to do so has been given.
Where personal data has not been obtained directly from you, North Asset Management shall provide you with the source from which certain personal data originates, and if applicable whether it came from publicly accessible sources.
Who else may have access to your Personal data?
North Asset Management may need to share personal data with third parties as may be required by law, or in order to fulfil contractual obligations. Where your personal data is shared with third parties, we will ensure that equivalent safeguards are offered in order to protect your personal data.
International transfers of Personal data
Transfers of personal data to countries outside of the EEA will be deemed unlawful unless the recipients of personal data in non-EEA countries offer an equivalent level of data protection to that of EEA countries.
The European Commission has the power to determine on the basis of Article 45 GDPR which countries, by default, offer an adequate level of data protection. This will result in data being able to be transferred to such countries without the need for additional safeguards.
In instances where personal data will be transferred to countries other than those recognised by the European Commission, North Asset Management will ensure that the recipients offer safeguards that are of an equivalent level to those of the EU. This will be achieved through methods listed in Article 46 GDPR.
Data retention
For audit trail purposes, North Asset Management shall hold personal data for a period of at least five years in order for them to comply with their record keeping obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017.
At the end of that period, North Asset Management will be required to delete all personal data relating to you unless a legal requirement requires them to keep the data for a prolonged period of time, or you have expressly consented to their data being held for an extended period of time.
