DATA PRIVACY

Wigglesworth & Co. Limited (“W&Co.”) (company number 3973490), holds and processes personal data in order to run its business. In doing so, we comply with relevant data protection legislation.

This privacy notice has been issued by W&Co. to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect on 25 May 2018. This document replaces any Fair Processing Notice issued under the Data Protection Act 1988 with effect from 25 May 2018.

DATA CONTROLLERS

As a data controller, W&Co. collects and processes personal data in relation to the website to maintain personal details of contacts, including email addresses, telephone and mobile numbers.

In accordance with guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) W&Co.’s legal advisers and auditors may be considered “joint data controllers” or “data controllers in common” (the holders, users and processors of personal data) for the purposes of the GDPR.

The joint data controllers can be contacted as follows:

Wigglesworth & Co. Limited,

Nutmeg House, 3rd Floor West,

60 Gainsford Street,

London

SE1 2NY

Tel: 0207 940 6000

BROWSING

If you browse the website you do so anonymously. W&Co. may use your IP address (the internet address of your computer) to administer aggregate statistics about our visitors such as traffic patterns and regulated site information, time spent on the page etc, for internal use.


USE, TRANSFER AND STORAGE OF EMAIL ADDRESSES

Email addresses that you provide to us via the website will be used for the sole purpose of sending you documents or notifications about updates to the website. We will not pass your details on to third parties outside of the W&Co. group (except, as necessary to third party providers of services to W&Co. eg administrators of the website, administrators of the register).

All data backups to the cloud are held in the United Kingdom.

It is possible that W&Co.’s staff and partners/staff of adviser firms may take laptops and smartphones with them on trips outside of the UK and/or the EEA, indirectly causing data to be sent outside of the EEA.

We have received guidance that as long as the information stays with the individual on the laptop/smartphone and their employer has an effective procedure to deal with security and the other risks of using laptops (including the extra risks of international travel), it is reasonable to conclude that adequate data protection exists.

Your personal data will not be directly transferred to another country unless you request for this to be done.
