    What is a cookie?<\/h4>\n

    A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer, mobile phone or tablet browser from a website and is stored on your device\u2019s internal storage. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser\u2019s preferences allow it, but to protect your privacy browsers usually only permit a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How does Bordier UK use cookies?<\/h4>\n

    Cookies are used for three purposes on the Bordier UK website. Firstly they are used to collect information about how visitors interact with our site including information such as your IP address, operating system and browser type. This is anonymous statistical data which provides us with information we can use to help monitor the performance of the website and improve it.<\/p>\n

    The other use of cookies on the Bordier UK website is in the \u201cClient Login\u201d and \u201cProfessional advisers\u201d areas. When you log in to these areas, our site will send you a unique identifier in a cookie so that it can keep you logged in. This is destroyed when you log out of the site or close your browser and does not contain any information which personally identifies you.<\/p>\n

    If you choose to tick the box on the \u201cClient Login\u201d page so that your browser remembers your username, then our site will send your computer a cookie that contains the information in an encrypted form (using Triple DES encryption). If you want to remove this cookie you can do so by unticking the box the next time you log in. Please note that we will never save your password in a cookie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

       <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Who do we share your information with?<\/h3>\n

      Your information may be shared with third parties where it is necessary to enable us to provide services to you or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The third parties we may share your information with are as follows:<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Legal and Regulatory Bodies<\/h4>\n

      We have a legal obligation to disclose certain information to the Financial Conduct Authority, other regulatory bodies and some government agencies if requested by them.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Your appointed advisers<\/h4>\n

      We may provide relevant information about you and your investments to advisers appointed by you such as your financial adviser, accountant or other such professional adviser.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Pension trustees, bond providers and other service providers<\/h4>\n

      You may ask us to advise you about, setup on your behalf or manage your investments within products such as pensions, trusts, bonds and other such products. We will share required information with the providers of such products in order to provide services you have requested from us.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Credit reference and fraud prevention agencies<\/h4>\n

      In order to comply with legal and regulatory requirements and in order to help prevent money laundering and other financial crime we may have to verify your identity. This involves us entering your details into credit reference and fraud prevention websites, which will check your details against international databases and provide us with a verification report. We may do this as part of our account opening process, and will repeat these checks at least every three years, or if significant changes in your life have occurred since you first invested with us. Some of the websites we use may undertake ongoing automatic checks to see if your details have changed.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Trusted third parties who assist us with conducting our business<\/h4>\n

      Our appointed professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors and accountants will sometime require access to the data we hold. In addition, some of the data we hold about you is disclosed to third party service providers who assist us with conducting business and providing services to you.<\/p>\n

      We do not share your data with any third parties other than those defined in this privacy policy and we will never sell your information to a third party.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Transferring information outside the EEA<\/h3>\n

      We share your information with third parties who assist us in providing services to you and this may involve transferring it to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) whose data protection laws may not be as extensive as those which apply here. Where we do so, we will ensure that this is done in accordance with UK and EU regulations and will take appropriate measures to ensure that the level of protection for your personal information remains the same as within the EEA by using suitable contractual clauses.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      How long do we keep your information for?<\/h3>\n

      We will retain relevant information about you as long as you remain a client with us and for up to 7 years after you cease to be a client of ours in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations and for us to be able to respond to queries and claims about the services we have provided to you. Where information is no longer relevant or is excessive we will delete it as soon as possible.\n<\/p>\n
