  7. Your rights
    8. Your rightsWhat it means

    You have the right to be informed about how we use your personal information. You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you. (This is called making a ‘data subject access request’, or DSAR for short.) You can also ask for information about what information we process and why. You can ask us to correct your personal information if you think it's wrong. You can ask us to delete your personal information.

    		We provide this privacy notice to explain how we use your personal information. If you make a DSAR, we will provide a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We can’t give you any information about other people, information which is linked to an ongoing criminal or fraud investigation, or information which is linked to settlement negotiations with you. We also won't provide you with any communication we've had with our legal advisers.

    You can have incomplete or inaccurate information corrected. Before we update your file, we may need to check the accuracy of the new information you have provided.

    You can ask us to delete your personal information if:

    • there's no good reason for us to continue using it;
    • you gave us consent to use the information and you have now withdrawn that consent;
    • you have objected to us using the information;
    • we have used the information unlawfully; or
    • the law requires us to delete the information.
      Just to let you know, we may not be able to agree to your request. As a firm authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, we must keep certain customer information for at least six years. (We've explained this in more detail below.) If you've closed your Fortu Wealth account, we may not be able to delete your entire file because these regulatory responsibilities take priority. We will always let you know if we can't delete your information.

    You can object to us processing your personal information for marketing purposes. You can object to us processing other information (if we are using it for legitimate interests).You can tell us to stop using your personal information for marketing.
    If our legal basis for using your personal information is 'legitimate interests' and you disagree with us using it, you can object.
    However, if there is an overriding reason why we need to use the information (for example, legal reasons), we will not accept your request.
    If you object to us using information which we need in order to provide our services, we may need to close your account, as we won’t be able to provide the services.
    You can ask us to restrict how we use your personal informationYou can ask us to suspend using your personal information if:
    • you want us to investigate whether it is accurate;
    • our use of the information is unlawful, but you do not want us to delete it;
    • we no longer need the information, but you want us to continue holding it for you in connection with a legal claim; or
    • you have objected to us using your information (see above), but we need to check whether we have an overriding reason to use it.
    You can ask us to transfer personal information to you.If we can, and are allowed to do so under regulatory requirements, we will provide your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
    You can withdraw your permission.If you have given us any consent we need to use your personal information, you can withdraw your consent at any by or sending an email toinfo@fortu.co.uk.

    If you use a password for our website, you will need to keep this password confidential. Please do not share it with anyone.

    Unfortunately, providing information online is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that all information you provide through our website will be secure. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

  12. How long will you keep my personal information for?

    13. Under anti-money laundering laws, we need to hold information about you and your transactions for five years.
