Privacy Statement

 

In the normal course of carrying out our business, we will have to obtain personal information about individuals. However, in doing so we are bound by certain legislation. This is the Isle of Man Data Protection Act 2018, which adopts the principles and objectives of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 The Act requires us to ensure as far as possible personal information privacy, and to provide you with a full explanation covering: 

  • Whose personal data is processed;
  • Why the personal data is processed;
  • What personal data is processed;
  • When personal data is processed; and
  • Where personal data is processed;

 The Act also provides individuals with certain rights:

 Access to an individual’s data, in a commonly used electronic format (data portability);

  • Have inaccuracies corrected;
  • Withdrawal of consent;
  • Have information erased;
  • Prevent direct marketing;
  • Prevent automated decision-making and profiling;

 We must also advise you of how to make a complaint.

 Why do we collect personal data?

 We have regulatory requirements in respect of Anti Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT). A major component part of these requirements is to be able to verify the identity of individuals, their source of wealth, and the source of any funds that may be being utilised

  • There are obligations on us regarding international initiatives in respect of Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI). These comprise the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), and the OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS), and we are required to make reports comprising personal information to Isle of Man Income Tax, who will then send this information to other jurisdictions where individuals have a tax obligation
  • Our ability to offer/provide services to clients and prospective clients is dependant on having access to personal information
  • Legislation such as the Employment Act 2006, and certain regulatory requirements, for example Business Continuity Planning, and payment of salaries, mean that we need to collect personal data in respect of Staff

 Whose personal data is processed?

To enable us to provide our professional services as efficiently as possible, we will process personal data in respect of: 

  • Clients – current, potential and former
  • Staff – current and former
  • Business Contacts
  • Suppliers
  • Complainants
  • Settlors, Protectors, Trustees & Beneficiaries (who in certain circumstances may be children)
  • Controlling Persons of Entities
  • Politically Exposed Persons, their families and associates
  • Associates, Employees, Consultants of Client Entities

 What personal data is processed?

The Act requires us to advise you what type of personal information will be processed. In addition we need to advise you how the information is obtained, and the legal basis upon which it is based. 

  • Name, address, telephone no., e-mail, date of birth, place of birth, photos, hobbies, sourced from individuals themselves, internet, social media and third party introducers. The legal basis for this is AML/CFT, legislation such as the Bribery Act 2013 and consent
  • Financial details, National Insurance numbers and individual tax reference numbers, which are primarily sourced from individuals themselves. The legal basis for this is AEOI and consent
  • Know Your Client (KYC) and Client Due Diligence (CDD) information, comprising such things as passport, utility bill, driving licence, source of wealth, source of funds, and bank account details. These are generally sourced from individuals themselves or from third party introducers.  The legal basis for this is AML/CFT, legislation such as the Bribery Act 2013 and and Proceeds of Crime Act 2008 (amongst others), and consent
  • CV’s, references, absence records (whether through leave or illness), sourced from individuals themselves or internal Human Resources (HR) records. The legal basis for this is legislation in respect of HR, regulatory requirements and consent
  • In certain circumstances we may hold information relating to criminal convictions/allegations or whether a person holds PEP status, and this would normally be sourced through independent screening agencies. The legal basis for this is AML/CFT and legislation such as the Bribery Act 2013 and Proceeds of Crime Act 2008 (amongst others)

 Where the legal basis is “consent” we will require this to be “explicit consent”. Similarly, where personal information is collected in respect of children (being anyone under the age of 13), it will be necessary for the parent or guardian to provide “explicit consent”.

 Explicit consent has to be a positive indication of agreement to personal data being processed, and this is obtained from you when you sign any of the information gathering questionnaires required by Turnstone (Isle of Man) Limited which enable us to provide professional services to you.

 When is personal data processed?

We will obtain information from you at the start of our business relationship or potential business relationship, and moving forwards at any regulatory or contractual “trigger events”.

 A trigger event can be constituted by any of the following:

  • Change of address
  • Change of signatories
  • Change of ownership or structure
  • Change of name
  • Substantial deposits (relative to expected activity)
  • Forming a new company
  • Opening a client portfolio
  • Adding monies to an existing client portfolio
  • Any other significant change to the client’s circumstances

 Unless we receive written consent from yourself, we will not release any information about you to third parties. However, there are some exceptions to this where we are obliged to provide private information:

  • On receipt of a Court Order
  • To comply with an authorised request from a regulatory or financial investigative authority
  • Where we are opening a bank account
  • As required by regulatory audit regulations
  • To our IT service providers as custodians of our operational and management information systems
  • To comply with international agreements on AEOI

 We will retain your private information only for as long as is appropriate, and for a period of 6 years as required under regulation. In rare circumstances this regulatory period can be extended to up to 18 years. These vary dependent on certain factors, and we would be happy to discuss these if you require.

At the end of the designated retention period, all private information held on whatever medium is destroyed.

Where is personal data processed?

All manual records are held at our registered office address, 3rd Floor, 11-13 Hill Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 1EF.
