3. Sharing Your Data

We do not sell personal data. We may share your personal data where necessary with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above. Data may be shared with:

  • our service providers and professional advisers;
  • regulatory or law enforcement authorities if required by law;
  • our affiliates (i.e. companies and entities that form part of our corporate group); and
  • third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets.

4. International Transfers

Because our business and our service providers operate internationally, we may transfer your personal data to countries outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Some of those countries may not be recognised as offering the same level of protection for personal data as the UK or EEA.


Whenever we make such transfers, we ensure your data remains protected by applying at least one of the following safeguards:

  • an adequacy regulation issued by the UK Government confirming the destination country provides an essentially equivalent level of protection; or
  • standard contractual clauses (or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement) entered into with the recipient, requiring them to safeguard your data to UK standards.
    You can request further details of the specific safeguards we rely on by emailing compliance@farospoint.com.

5. Data Retention

  • We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
  • To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

6. Your Rights

Under data protection law, you have rights we need to make you aware of. The rights available to you depend on our reason for processing your information.

Your right of access

You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal data. There are some exemptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process.

Your right to rectification

You have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Your right to erasure

You have the right to ask us to erase your personal data in certain circumstances.

Your right to restriction of processing

You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.

Your right to object to processing

You have the right to object to processing where your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests or for direct marketing.

Your right to data portability

In certain circumstances, individuals have the right to ask that a data controller transfers personal data to another organisation or gives it to them.

To exercise your rights, contact compliance@farospoint.com.

7. Complaints

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), which is the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
