4. Information security

We take the security of your personal data very seriously, and we use appropriate technologies and procedures to protect your personal information.

We keep our data security policies and procedures up to widely accepted international standards. In addition, we review our policies regularly and update them whenever needed to protect you, and to meet our business needs, changes in technology, and regulatory requirements.

Here are examples of the ways we protect your data:

a) We have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to protect you against accidental loss and unauthorised access, use, destruction or disclosure of your data.

The internet is an open medium and we can’t guarantee that any information you send to us by email or via our sites won’t be intercepted or tampered with. Any transmission is at your own risk. To help protect your personal information and minimise the risk of it being intercepted by unauthorised third parties, our secure servers use Secure Socket Layer v3 (SSL) or Transport Layer Security v1 (TLS) encryption when you submit information to us through our sites. You can see this security is in place when you see „https” and the padlock on your URL bar. Older browsers don’t always support current SSL technology, so we recommend that you use an up-to-date browser. Once we’ve received your information, we use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. C

5. Our legal basis for using your information

Our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information depends on the exact type of information and how and when we collect it. However, we’ll normally only collect personal information from you where one of the following applies:

a) we need your personal information to perform a contract with you;

b) it’s in our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others (for example, to ensure the security of our website). Our legitimate interests are to:

i. run, grow and develop our business;

ii. ensure a safe environment for our staff and website visitors;

iii. marketing, market research and business development;

iv. for internal group administrative purposes.

If we rely on our (or another person’s) legitimate interests for using your personal information, we will undertake a balancing test to ensure that our (or the other person’s) legitimate interests are not outweighed by your personal interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection.

c) we have your consent (for example you have ticked a box on a form):

If we rely on your consent for us to use your personal information in a particular way, but you later change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by contacting us and we will stop doing so.

d) we have a legal obligation to collect your personal information.

When we collect personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to enter into a contract with you, we’ll let you know at that time. We’ll also tell you if providing your personal information is mandatory or not, and what the consequences would be if you don’t provide it. Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information for our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), which are not set out above we’ll tell you at that time what those legitimate interests are.

6. How and when we share your information

We may share your personal information with other members of the Hargreaves Lansdown Group to:

run, grow and develop our business;

for internal group administrative purposes.

We otherwise do not share your personal information with third parties.

7. Transfers outside of Europe

We usually store your information on our secure servers in the Poland.

However, where data is shared with other members of Hargreaves Lansdown Group it may be sent to process in UK

We’ll take all steps reasonably necessary to make sure that your personal information is treated securely. For example, as permitted by Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation, we use standard contractual clauses with third parties, so that your information is protected to the same standards as it is in the European Economic Area

8. How long we store your personal information

We keep the personal information we collect from you, where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to hold your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it.
