Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting your privacy, and set out below is our privacy policy, explaining what information we collect, your rights and information about how we protect those rights.
Folkestone Limited ("FLK") complies with the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988. This Privacy Policy applies to your dealings with the Folkestone Limited.
Why do we gather the information and how will we use it?
Apart from the main reason for which you have provided personal information, we may use or disclose your personal information for related purposes such as administration, servicing our relationship with you, regulatory reporting and compliance.
Administration includes monitoring, auditing, evaluating, modelling data, answering queries and providing services in relation to your investment. In the future, and unless you tell us otherwise, we may also use your personal information for marketing purposes relating to the products and services offered by Folkestone Limited.
As with other business organisations, we may rely on external service providers, who act as agents on behalf of the Folkestone Limited and personal information provided to them is provided only to perform their agreed tasks. These external service providers are bound by strict confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.
What information do we collect?
We collect a variety of personal information from you to enable us to tailor our service to meet your personal needs. We only collect personal information directly from you, ie. when you fill in an application or enquiry form, send us a letter, visit our websites or when you visit us in person.
The choice of how much personal information you disclose to us is left completely up to you. If you are comfortable providing us with personal information, we are able to provide a more enhanced service. In most cases we are unable to provide these enhanced services to anonymous users.
We may use an Internet browser feature called a cookie. Cookies by themselves cannot be used to identify you personally; they only identify your computer to our servers when you visit our site. The information gained by us from the use of cookies provides us with statistics, which can be used to analyse and improve our websites.
