4. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Mostly we will simply use your personal data to:

• Perform the contract you are entering into with us

• Comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

We will usually only rely on consent as a basis for processing your data in relation to marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

From time-to-time we may need to disclose your personal data to other members of the Maximillion Group, advisers of the Maximillion Group or third parties that assist us with providing our services or recovering payments for services provided. All third parties are required to comply with the terms of this privacy policy.

5. DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

We have put in place physical and electronic security measures to prevent the accidental loss, destruction or unauthorised use of your personal data. For example, only certain employees, agents or contractors may access your data to enable us to process it for the relevant purpose and we have completed our Cyber Essentials Certification which can be viewed here.

Your data will only be retained for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was required, including our legal, accounting and regulatory requirements. We are required to keep basic information for these purposes for a period of six years after you cease being a customer.
