Online Data Privacy Statement

Who are we?
We are Chambers Financial Solutions Ltd an appointed representative of New Leaf Distribution Ltd.
Chambers Financial Solutions Ltd provide financial planning solutions and advice through
experienced and qualified advisers based in the UK.

Currently Chambers Financial Solutions Ltd and New Leaf Distribution Ltd jointly determine the
purposes and means of processing personal client data relating to giving advice. This means we
are joint data controllers for the core advice giving activities and therefore responsible for managing
each client’s data and ensuring compliance.

However, Chambers Financial Solutions Ltd is solely responsible for some activities, for example any
direct marketing that we undertake.

What is this privacy statement about?
To supply our customers with our services we need to use information about you, and some of that
may be personal or private. For example, we may need to know your name and address, details of
how you would like to be contacted (e.g. your mobile phone number), or how you would like to pay
for the services we provide you.
As we do this, we would like you to take some time to read this privacy statement. It will explain
what information we might collect about you, why we collect it, what we may use it for, and who we
may give it to. We will also explain your rights towards your information and how we look after it
while we have it.

What information do we collect about you?
The information we collect about you may vary based on what service we provide to you. Typically,
we need details like:
- Your name and address so we know who you are and what services you need from us
- Your contact details like phone number or email so that we can keep in touch with you
about our services.
- Your bank account or other financial details so we can manage your payment for our
services.
If you are receiving some financial services advice, we will need to know more information about
your current position. This might include information regarding:
- Your employment information
- Your assets and liabilities
Some financial services products may require us to collect information about your health and
lifestyle.

We only collect information about you that we need to make sure you get the best service from us.
We respect your privacy, and we try to minimise what we do collect.

How do we collect information about you?
We prefer to collect the information we need directly from you. That way, you know what we have,
and we can be sure you have provided us with the most accurate and up to date information.
We will usually do this:
- When you complete our fact find and discussion document.
- When you contact us for any reason.
- If you complete an online form.
- If you interact with us through the client portal.
- If you complete a survey.
- When completing application forms.
What do we do with the information we collect about you?
We use your information in various ways, such as to:
- Meet the purposes that you provided your information for
- Provide you with the services you want
- Let you know about goods or services we feel would be beneficial to you.
- Prevent fraud, money laundering and financial crime
- To confirm your identity.
- Credit scoring and assessment, and credit management (where applicable).
- Keep our records accurate and up to date.
- Comply with any legal or regulatory obligations we may have.

Who do we share your information with?
We appreciate that you have provided your information to us and may not want us to share it with
other people or organisations, however sometimes it is necessary for us to do so.
We only share your information where we are permitted or required to by law, or where you have
requested us to do so. We may share your information with, for example:
- Any of your family, associates, or someone who represents you, where you have asked us to
do so.
- Our employees who provide you with our services.
- Carefully selected organisations and specialists to help us provide you with our services.
- Credit reference and fraud prevention agencies in order to help prevent and detect fraud as
part of our due diligence process.
- Any person, organisation, or regulator where we are required to because of a court order,
regulatory responsibility, legal duty, or statutory obligation.
We are careful to minimise such sharing.
Although we are a UK company, we may sometimes share your information with an organisation
who is outside the UK. Such companies may also be outside of Europe. We may do this, but we will
only do so where we are permitted to by law.
Whenever we share your information, we do everything we can to make sure it is protected from
misuse or loss.

How do we look after and secure your information?
When we use information about you, we take all reasonable efforts to do so fairly and lawfully.
We think it likely that our customers know we use information about them, and we provide notices
of such wherever we can.

We never use information about you unless it is lawful for us to do so and we have a clearly defined
need or purpose.

When we collect information about you, we ensure that we minimise what we collect. We try not to
keep your information for longer than we need it, and we ensure that the records we have about
you are managed properly and deleted promptly and securely when we no longer need them.
We make every effort to ensure your rights towards your information, which we detail below.
We take appropriate care to secure the information we hold about you. We have robust technical
security such as passwords and information encryption. We also have policies and procedures to
ensure your information is only available to our employees who need to see it to do their job, and
we train those employees appropriately.
Also, we establish robust procedures and contracts to extend these protections to any other person
or organisation we may need to give your information to.
In everything we do with your information we try to be fair, lawful, and open, and we take seriously
our obligations towards your privacy and the protection of information we may hold about you.
