At Skandia Global Funds we commit to ensuring your privacy is protected. We therefore store and use personal information in line with the provisions of applicable data protection legislation.


Please find below our privacy policy which shall be deemed to be incorporated into the terms and conditions of use of our website. Please read the following policy to understand how we will treat your personal data after it has been collected by us through your use of our website.


When do we collect data?
We can collect data on you via explicit data capture measures, for example when you become a subscriber to the website, and via implicit data capture measures, such as studying which pages you read the most and the use of cookies. In either case the data we collect could be personal data.


What do we do with your personal information?
When you give us any personal data as indicated above, we may need to collect information about you to process the registration, put you on our marketing list and provide you with the services you expect then and in the future. This information may include, but is not limited to, details such as your name, your address and your phone number.


Unless we have your express consent we will only disclose personal data to third parties in any jurisdiction if this is required for the purpose of completing your registration with us. This is of course subject to the proviso that we may disclose your data to certain permitted third parties in any jurisdiction, such as members of our own group, our own professional advisers who are bound by confidentiality codes, and when we are legally obliged to disclose your data.


By becoming a subscriber you consent to be put on our marketing distribution list and to receive from us our marketing information and other related information which we think may be of interest to you.


Skandia Global Funds retains and uses your personal information to provide you with a personalised service and to provide you with marketing material which we think will be of interest to you. We may also use the information to process any registration you undertake with us and for internal administration and analysis.


We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your express consent.


For any of the above purposes we may send your information internationally. Some jurisdictions offer differing levels of protection of personal information.


The personal information that you submit to us through the Skandia Global Funds website will be collected, stored and processed at our third party service provider’s data centre. We will ensure that your personal information is kept confidential and secure in accordance with market practice in any given jurisdiction, and that the appropriate technical and organisational measures, to prevent unlawful or accidental destruction, accidental loss, unauthorised disclosure or access or other unlawful forms of processing, are implemented.


The measures outlined above will provide a sufficient level of security in relation to the risks inherent in the processing of your personal data and with respect to the nature of the personal data to be protected.
