For the purposes of this Privacy Statement:
"Applicable Law" means, in each case, all laws and regulations (including requirements imposed by any competent regulatory body, whether domestic or foreign, or imposed by or arising under the constitution, rules, regulations, bylaws, customs, usages and interpretations of any market), whether domestic or foreign, or any agreement entered into with or between any competent regulatory, prosecuting, tax or governmental authority in any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign.

“Personal Data” means any information relating to you, any Customer Entity or another person whose information you or a Customer Entity (or another person on your or a Customer Entity's behalf) provide to us, and from which that individual can be identified, directly or indirectly, including by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his or her physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity, and
“Processing” of Personal Data means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon Personal Data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
We may collect, receive, store and process the following Personal Data:
If you or a Customer Entity elects not to provide us with this information, we may be unable to provide services to you or them. You should inform us where there are any changes or amendments to such details.
We may access, process and retain Personal Data for any of the following purposes (“Permitted Purposes”):
Fulfilment of contractual obligations
We enter into contracts and agreements with our clients in order to provide services to them. We need to process Personal Data in relation to our clients in order to facilitate entering into such contracts and to allow us to fulfil obligations created by those contracts. For example, we may need to assess the needs of our clients in relation to specific products or services, we may need to determine the level of advice, asset management or support that a client needs or carry out transactions in compliance with contractual obligations. Our various contracts and terms and conditions will contain further details of the obligations we may need to comply with.
Compliance with legal obligations and public interest considerations
NSML is subject to a lot of legal obligations because of the services we provide. We may need to process Personal Data in order to comply with these legal obligations which sometimes also relate to public interest considerations. Examples include carrying out identity and other checks to ensure we properly know our clients, fraud and money laundering prevention, assessing and managing risk, complying with various reporting obligations and other legal requirements
Legitimate interest
We also process Personal Data when it is in our legitimate interests to do this and when these interests are not overridden by a data subject's data protection rights. For example, we have a legitimate interest in using Personal Data:
Where we process Personal Data for contacting you or Customer Entities, we will request you to select a preferred channel of communications with us. You may request not to be contacted for marketing activities in certain (or all) channels and for a certain period. You may change your preferences anytime.
Consent to Our Processing
We may also process Personal Data based on consent granted to us. Where data Processing isperformed subject to consent, this may be withdrawn at any time by informing us in writing of such withdrawal. However, if consent is withdrawn it may not be possible for us to provide certain services to you or any Customer Entity.
We may disclose or transfer Personal Data to others as follows:
We keep Personal Data for as long as is required in order to fulfil our contractual obligations and as long as we are required to under Applicable Law, including any applicable limitation periods.
We may process some Personal Data automatically in order to make certain assessments about you and/or any Customer Entities. This is known as profiling. We may do this for instance to assess investment performance, objectives and risk tolerance, and to assess your or a Customer Entity's ability to meet regulatory or legal requirements (such as combatting money laundering); and to tailor our service to your or a Customer Entity's needs.
Where we rely on profiling, we will seek consent for this. A data subject has the right to request a person to re-assess any profiling. However, certain investments (including robotic investments) may necessitate profiling.
We generally do not use any automated decision-making in providing services to you or a Customer Entity. If we do use this process, you will be entitled to opt-out.
A "cookie" is a small piece of information that a site stores on a web browser and can later retrieve.
NSML uses operational cookies to allow our services to operate in a secure and reliable manner, prevent false impersonation, prevent electronic attacks and provide service functionalities within our sites. Such cookies are essential for usage and an internet browser is likely to accept them by default. However, a browser can be set to reject these cookies and to delete them from the system at any time. Site experience cookies that facilitate site navigation and store preferences and certain kinds of information (such as about new products and services and some enhancements that may be of interest) can be subject to opt-in. Non-essential cookies can be rejected or their use limited to an online session with NSML or any Group Company or anytime thereafter.
Joint marketing cookies and data analytics can also be subject to opt-in. However, no cookie set by our websites on a web browser will contain information that could enable any third party to contact you or a Customer Entity via telephone, email or postal mail.
We protect Personal Data by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards and train our staff in the proper handling of information. When we use third parties to provide services we require them, under stringent contractual and administrative provisions to protect the confidentiality of any Personal Data to at least the same standard we have in our own systems. We use encryption technology to protect the transmission of data to or from you or a Customer Entity. However, data transmissions 6 over public networks cannot be guaranteed to be error free or entirely secure. Any registration information and passcodes must be kept confidential. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure or feel that the security of any communications you have with us has been compromised, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the contact details in the Data Controller and Data Protection Officer section below
Data subjects may ask us to access, amend or correct their Personal Data. We may also rectify any mistakes in data we hold on our own initiative, where appropriate. In limited circumstances such as marketing, data subjects also have the right to object to certain communications, delete their data and transfer their Personal Data to other organisations. However, as we offer trust company and other services, we operate within a highly regulated environment, are under a legal obligation to retain certain data and to hold it for our legitimate interests.
Where we have asked for consent to process Personal Data or where Processing is made in connection with sensitive Personal Data consent may be withdrawn at any time by informing us in writing of the withdrawal.
Where we process Personal Data on the basis of a legitimate interest in doing so (as described above), the data subject also has a right to object to this and the right to restrict Processing in certain circumstances. These rights may be limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate that we have legitimate grounds to process the data. To exercise these rights, please contact the Data Protection Officer using the contact details in the Data Controller and Data Protection Officer section below. We may ask to verify the data subject's identity and to provide other details to help us to respond to the request. We hope that we can satisfy all queries about the way we process data.
The Data Controller is NSML or the Group Company providing services to you or a Customer Entity and may change as notified by us from time to time, always subject to prior notice and Applicable Law.
