Privacy Policy
Stamford Capital Funds Management Pty Ltd ACN 146 670 626 is committed to protecting you and your clients’ privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1998 (Cth). This Privacy Policy describes our current policies and practices in relation to the handling and use of personal information.
If you are in a country that is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (‘GDPR’) governs the way we collect, use, hold, process and disclose your personal information. Under the GDPR, we are a data controller. We make decisions on how and why your personal information is processed.
What personal information do we collect and how do we use it?
We will ask you for personal information when you invest with Stamford Capital Investments. We use the information you provide to verify your identity and wholesale investor status. We only provide your information to the companies with whom you choose to deal with (and their representatives).
The types of information that we collect and hold about you or your clients’ could include:
- ID information such as name, postal or email address, telephone numbers, and date of birth;
- financial details such as bank account information, tax file number; and
- other information we think is necessary.
We may occasionally notify you about new investment opportunities, company and/or market updates, events or articles we think will be of interest to you. We may send you regular updates by email or by post.
You can let us know at any time if you no longer wish to receive direct marketing offers from us by contacting us at info@stamfordcapital.com.au. We will process your request as soon as practicable.
We may also use your information internally to help us improve our services and help resolve any problems.
How do we collect your personal information?
The means by which we collect your personal information will depend on the nature of the services that we are providing to you. We may collect your personal information:
- directly from you, either in person, via email, over the phone, through our website or any other social media platforms, or through our third-party investment platform, powered by Caruso;
- from related third parties, including but not limited to, wealth managers, accountants, financial advisers.
What if you don’t provide some information to us?
If you don’t provide your information to us, it may not be possible:
- for us to verify your investment status and eligibility;
- to return investment capital or deposit distributions;
- verify your identity or protect against fraud;
- to provide tax and/or holding statements;
- to let you know about other investment opportunities that you or your client might be interested in.
How do we hold and protect your information?
We strive to maintain the reliability, accuracy, completeness and currency of the personal information we hold and to protect its privacy and security. We keep personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or document retention requirements.
We hold the information we collect from you. In some cases, your file is archived and sent to an external data storage provider for a period of time. We only use storage providers located in Australia who are also regulated by the Privacy Act. We ensure that your information is safe. We maintain physical security over our paper and electronic data and premises by using locks and security systems.
Will we disclose the information we collect to anyone?
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others.
We may need to provide your information to our investor management platform e.g. for administration and supervision activities, contractors who supply services to us e.g. to handle mailings on our behalf, or to other companies in the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganisation, dissolution or similar event. However, we will do our best to ensure that they protect your information in the same way that we do.
We may also provide your information to others if we are required to do so by law or under some unusual other circumstances which the Privacy Act permits.
How can you check, update or change the information we are holding?
Upon receipt of your written request and enough information to allow us to identify the information, we will disclose to you the personal information we hold about you. We will also correct, amend or delete any personal information that we agree is inaccurate.
You can also check and update your contact and investment information through our investor portal: invest.scinvestments.com.au/login
If you wish to access or correct your personal information, please write to info@stamfordcapital.com.au.
We do not charge for receiving a request for access to personal information or for complying with a correction request.
