Where Personal Data is stored
Information collected is stored on the Company’s CRM system or on the Company’s server.

As part of any services offered by HAIG, information provided may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) i.e. our servers or third-party servers that are used to provide HAIG services located in a country outside the EEA. By submitting your data you consent to the transfer, storage and/or processing of your data wherever it is stored. However, if your data is transferred outside the EEA, steps will be taken to ensure appropriate security measures are in place to ensure your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy.

HAIG does not collect information about specific users of its website. It does however use Google analytics cookies which collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, the IP address of the visitor, time zone, where visitors have come to the site from and the pages they visited. As with many websites, this information can be used to compile statistic reports of our users’ browsing patterns so that we can improve our website and enhance user experience of it. If you change your user settings so that Cookies are switched off then your previous browsing history will no longer be available to HAIG.

How long Personal Data is stored
We review our retention periods for personal data periodically. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfill our statutory obligations. We will hold personal data on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.

Who has Access to Personal Data
Only HAIG employees are granted access to customer information. This is ensured by the use of strict operational processes and procedures.
HAIG Staff is trained on security systems and relevant processes and procedures which are reviewed regularly for on-going effectiveness and suitability for purpose. All employees are kept up-to-date on the HAIG security and privacy practices. Employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure that customer information is protected.

Non-sensitive details (your email address and other requested information) are transmitted normally over the Internet and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while HAIG strives to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once HAIG receives your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

HAIG will not sell or rent your information to third parties.

Third-Party Service Providers working on our behalf:

We may pass your information to our third-party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf. However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure.

Third-Party Product Providers HAIG works in association with:

HAIG works closely with various third-party service providers to ensure that the funds that we advise are professionally managed and administered. In some cases, they will be acting as a data controller of your information and, therefore, we advise you to read their Privacy Policy. These third-party product providers will share your information with us which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

HAIG may also further transfer data if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to law enforcement. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

Individuals’ Rights
Different rules apply depending on the type of Lawful Processing being undertaken. Many of the following individuals’ rights apply, however, whatever the basis of processing:

  • The right to be informed how personal data is processed
  • The right of access to their personal data
  • The right to rectification
  • The right to erasure
  • The right to restrict processing
  • The right to data portability
  • The right to object
  • Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling

The accuracy of personal data is imperative. HAIG aims to keep it updated at all times. The personal data we hold on you is available upon request by contacting enquiries@holistic-investments.co.uk

You can request that your data is updated and/or deleted at any time, unless HAIG can justify that it is retained for legitimate business or legal purpose. When updating your personal data, you may be asked to verify your identity before your request can be processed.

HAIG’s website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. HAIG’s Privacy Policy only applies to HAIG’s website and you are encouraged to read the Privacy Statements on the third-party websites that you visit such as Google. HAIG is not responsible for the Privacy Policies and practices of other websites even if they were accessed via a HAIG website.
