Business functions in respect of Personal data

Aurum Private Limited provides fiduciary services to residents and international clients to assist them with their business and personal objectives and planning with assistance with their advisors.

In order to perform its functions effectively Aurum needs to process personal data. The processing activities that Aurum may by law carry out in relation to personal data include requesting it, collecting it, storing it, analysing it, sharing it, disclosing it.

Clients, their advisors, and managers of their assets will be required to provide personal information and data to Aurum at the start, during and cessation of the business relationship and this is required for Aurum to provide services under, and comply with the Bailiwicks legal and regulatory framework, and duties imposed on us.

Consent

Aurum will not ordinarily use the legal basis of consent due to the regulatory requirements requiring clients, their advisors, and managers to provide personal data and to also keep this up to date. We are also required to keep you updated to your business relationship and matters that may affect it and you, locally and internationally.

Where we do provide marketing material you will have the option to decline from receiving such material.

Confidentiality

Aurum is bound by strict provisions, set out in the Bailiwicks’ legal and regulatory framework, as to the confidentiality and safeguarding of the personal information that it acquires during the course of carrying out a business relationship. There may be occasions where this information may be disclosed, without the consent of those who may be identified from it, only in exceptionally limited circumstances such as:

where necessary to enable Aurum to perform its functions or discharge its obligations (both in the Bailiwick

and internationally);

for the purposes of the investigation, prevention or detection of crime; or
in order to comply with directions given by a court, law enforcement or regulatory agency.

These confidentiality provisions bind Aurum and its employees and third-parties contravention of them is an offence which carries liability to punishment.

In cases where Aurum discloses information it will do so on the basis of conditions designed to ensure that the confidentiality of the information is protected by imposing undertakings in relation to the use, disclosure, safe-keeping and return of the information concerned.
