Special Categories of personal data includes, but is not limited to, racial or ethnic origins, political  opinion, religious or similar belief, trade union membership, your physical or mental health, sexual life  or any commission or offence, committed or alleged.

Will I be contacted for marketing purposes? 

We may, with your explicit consent, also contact you or pass your details to other companies associated  with us to contact you (including by telephone) with details of any other similar products, promotions,  or for related marketing purposes in which we think you may be interested. 

How will my data be stored? 

Product Providers, Lenders and Investment Managers may administer your policy, any existing policies  you may have with them and provide other services, from centres in countries outside Europe (such as  India and the USA) that do not always have the same standard of data protection laws as the UK.  However, they are required to put a contract in place to ensure that your information is adequately  protected, and they will remain bound by their obligations under the Regulation even when your  personal information is processed outside Europe. Macleman Wealth Ltd will only store data outside of  the UK, where suitable protection is in place. 

Macleman Wealth Ltd treat all personal data and sensitive personal data as confidential and will not  process it other than for the purpose it was collected. Steps are taken to ensure that the information  is accurate, kept up to date and not kept for longer than is necessary. Measures are also taken to  safeguard against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage to the  data. 

Subject to certain exceptions, you are entitled to have access to all personal and sensitive personal data  held by us. Macleman WealthLtd will provide this free of charge, unless the request is manifestly  unfounded, excessive or repeated. If a fee is charged, this will only reflect the costs incurred in  delivering the information. 

How long will you keep my personal data? 

Macleman Wealth Ltd will keep your personal data securely for as long as is necessary for the purpose  it was collected. You can withdraw consent at any time. Our Retention policy is available upon request.
