What personal data does the Firm collect and why?
In the course of interacting with or providing services to you, the Firm may collect information that is considered personal information (e.g., name, contact details, address, passport number, driving licence).
As a client, contact or employee of Segantii, we will require some personal information in order to verify your identity and have the applicable relationship with you. Some of this information may be required to satisfy legal obligations (e.g., to comply with obligations arising under the money laundering regulations) whereas other information may be required in connection with the provision of services to you. The information collected will vary depending on your relationship with the Firm, but typically includes:
- Personal information: Such as your name, date of birth, passport number or national insurance number; and
- Contact information: Including your residential address, telephone number and email address.
Where does the Firm store my personal data?
The Firm will typically store your personal data electronically within its computer systems.
The Firm has comprehensive policies, procedures and systems in place to ensure your personal data is kept safe and secure, with these including:
- Data encryption;
- Firewalls;
- Intrusion detection;
- 24/7 physical protection of the facilities where your data is stored;
- Background checks for personnel that access physical facilities; and
- Security procedures across all service operations.
How long does the Firm retain personal data?
As a regulated entity, the Firm is required to maintain its books and records for a prescribed period (five years from either the ceasing of a business relationship, or, in the case of non clients, from the making of a record – or alternatively, for seven years, where specifically requested to do so by the FCA, or such other period as may be required by an applicable regulatory authority). As such, information that falls in scope of either of these requirements is retained in line with the mandated timeframe.
Any information that is outside the scope of this requirement will be retained whilst relevant and useful, and destroyed where this ceases to be the case or where the data subject specifically requests this, and provided that there is no additional legal or regulatory obligation or need to maintain it further.
What are my rights?
Once you have provided your details to the Firm, you have certain rights which apply, depending on your relationship with the Firm, the information you have shared with us and the Firm’s legal and regulatory obligations.
- You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some, or all, of your personal information, please email the Firm using the address provided.

Please be aware that Segantii reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for the administrative costs of complying with a request should it believe that the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or if you request multiple or further copies of your data.
- You have the right to request that the information the Firm holds about you is erased under certain circumstances including where there is no additional legal and/or regulatory requirement for the Firm to retain this information.
- You have the right to request that any information the Firm holds about you be provided to another company in a commonly used and machine-readable format, otherwise known as ‘data portability’.
