6.1.2 directly, we will quote our fee for the transaction (which we refer to as our “percent premium”), in which case you instruct us to buy / sell cryptoassets at the rate available to us on the exchange(s) we use, and we will disclose the rate applied after the transaction is complete. 

 

6.2 Notwithstanding clause 6.1, if you seek different terms to those quoted, you can discuss your requirements with us to see if we can agree to bespoke terms. If we agree bespoke terms, you will need to send us your cryptoassets / fiat money, and we will arrange for the fiat money / cryptoassets to be deposited into your bank account / wallet (as applicable).

 

6.3 We will confirm your instructions in writing before execution, and we will give you written confirmation of your transaction(s) after execution. 

 

6.4 The prices we quote for cryptoassets will incorporate our fees for obtaining those cryptoassets for you. Fees may be paid with a credit or debit card. Please note that it is possible that taxes or costs may exist in addition to those which we pay or impose.

7. LENDING SERVICE

 

7.1 Lending cryptoassets involves both the risks of dealing in cryptoassets generally (on which see Schedule 1) as well as those specific to lending cryptoassets (on which see Schedule 1). We have not provided you with any advice or recommendation in relation to the suitability of our lending service for you, and we have not undertaken any assessment of the appropriateness of our lending service for you. In using our lending service, you acknowledge that:

 

7.1.1 you have read and made yourself familiar with the risks which relate to this type of activity and have taken professional advice if required to understand those risks, and 

 

7.1.2 you accept the risks involved. 

 

7.2 Our lending service is available only in relation to cryptoassets and not fiat money. As such, before using our lending services, you need to either:

 

7.2.1 send your cryptoassets to a custodian we select for the purpose of holding your cryptoassets; or

 

7.2.2 use our execution-only brokerage service to acquire cryptoassets (on which see clause 6), which you then authorise for us to arrange custody of on your behalf with a custodian we select, and

you may then instruct us to arrange for the cryptoassets held for you by such custodian to be lent to a provider on your behalf.

7.3 We will only arrange for you to lend cryptoassets to providers who are not “consumers”, and so for example we may only arrange for you to lend to a corporate business. The provider will hold any cryptoassets you lend to it in its own name, and may use any cryptoassets you lend to it for its own commercial purposes in whatever way the provider sees fit.

 

7.4 When you lend, we will provide you with an option to accept one or more of the set lending packages we provide. Please note that we do not make investment decisions on your behalf, and as such you are solely responsible for deciding the parameters of any lending you engage in, such as but not limited to:

 

7.4.1 whether to lend; 

 

7.4.2 how much to lend (subject to any minimum lending amount we may specify from time to time in accordance with clause 7.5);

 

7.4.3 on what terms to lend, including as regards any interest rate;

 

7.4.4 when to lend; and

 

7.4.5 how long to lend for, 

 

however we reserve the right to pre-set parameters in relation to these, in which case you will have the choice whether or not to accept the pre-set terms offered. 

 

7.5 We may, at our absolute discretion, set a minimum amount you must lend in order to use our lending services, and we reserve the right to set additional controls and limits at our discretion. We will give you reasonable notice of any such requirements. 

 

7.6 We will also, before you lend to a borrower, confirm your lending instructions with you in writing, and as part of this we will provide you with a quote of our fees for the arrangement. You will only lend once you have given us written confirmation that you wish to lend, and by giving us this confirmation you accept our fees for the arrangement. 

 

7.7 We reserve the right to terminate any lending relationship we arrange for you:

 

7.7.1 when in our view there is a substantial risk that:

 

7.7.1.1 the provider will not pay back the amount lent by you to the provider; 

 

7.7.1.2 the lending arrangement constitutes a regulated activity without the required licence being in place, or otherwise breaches any Applicable Law;

 

7.7.1.3 to do otherwise would run an unacceptable security risk; and / or

 

7.7.2 if we in good faith believe you are in breach of the terms of this Agreement; and / or

 

7.7.3 if we are required to take such action by any regulatory body or competent court, and

 

we do not accept any liability for any decision to terminate, or not to terminate, under this clause 7.7.

 

7.8 At the end of any lending relationship with a provider, you may either withdraw your cryptoassets back to your own wallet, or instruct us to convert your cryptoassets back to fiat money, and to then send that fiat money back to you. 

 

8. WHEN MAY WE NOT ACT ON YOUR INSTRUCTIONS?

 

8.1 We reserve the right not to act on your instructions if:

 

8.1.1. to do so may involve us or you in a breach of Applicable Law; or

 

8.1.2 to do so would run the risk of us suffering financial loss, and

we will endeavour to advise you promptly if such circumstances arise.

9.2.3 (if you are a body corporate) have, and comply with, Adequate Procedures (to the extent relevant).

Although we take all reasonable care to ensure all electronic communications and attachments we send to you are free from any known Virus, we will not be responsible for any loss or damage loss (of whatever nature) resulting from any Virus that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other material due to your use of our Service.

 

17.6 We may record and monitor conversations we have with you, and we will keep a record of all communications for as long as required by Applicable Law or we feel appropriate.

 

18. AUTHORISED PERSONS

18.1 Before using our Services, you must provide us with a list of those persons who have been duly authorized to provide us with instructions in relation to our Services (the “Authorised Persons”). This is done by completing a Letter of Authorisation, which we will provide separately, and sending it to support@satoshideals.org. We will confirm receipt of your list of Authorised Persons, as well as any additional persons you may add to or remove from the list from time to time (as also duly authorized by sending an updated Letter of Authorisation to support@satoshideals.org). We will agree with you in advance who may add or remove persons to / from the list of Authorised Persons.

 

18.2 We shall have no obligation to accept or otherwise act upon or respond to any instruction and / or communication made by any person until we confirm that such person is an Authorised Person. We will, however, be entitled to act on the instructions of such a person should we believe in good faith that that person is intended to be an Authorised Person and we have received appropriate confirmation to this effect. 

 

18.3 We are entitled to rely upon any instruction received from, or believed by us in good faith to be from, any Authorised Person, whether or not they have actual authority to give instructions.  For example, this will include a person communicating to us using your contact details.  Any communication we send to an Authorised Person will also be deemed sent to you and any communication we receive from an Authorised Person will also be deemed sent by you.

 

18.4 You are fully responsible and liable for any action or inaction by an Authorised Person, and we will deem any such action or inaction as being made directly by you. All Authorised Persons may only enjoy any rights granted under this Agreement solely to the extent they do so in their capacity as your agent acting on your behalf, and not in their own capacity. You are responsible for ensuring that all Authorised Persons approved by you act in accordance with your obligations set out in this Agreement, and any reference in this Agreement to an obligation applying to you includes an obligation on you to ensure all Authorised Persons comply with such obligation. 

 

18.5 You need to be mindful that any instructions made by Authorised Persons are coordinated, as if we receive instructions from two Authorised Persons, you are deemed to have intended for both instructions to be carried out and we will act on such instructions accordingly without verifying that those coordinated instructions were or were not intended to be executed together when given. 

 

18.6 In the event that someone is no longer an Authorised Person, we must be informed immediately by someone who is a duly Authorised Person. However, as long as we have not been grossly negligent in doing so, we are not liable if we act on the instructions of someone who is no longer an Authorised Person.

 

19. DATA PROTECTION

 

19.1 Both you and we will comply with Data Protection Laws.

19.4 We will maintain a data protection fair processing notice https://www.satoshideals.org/privacy-policy setting out the details of such processing and all other information required by, and in compliance with, Data Protection Laws, which you will also refer Client Contacts to when you make a notification under clause 19.3 (only if person signing/agreeing represents a company).

20. CONFIDENTIALITY

20.2 You may disclose Confidential Information:

 

20.2.1 to those of your Representatives who need access to that Confidential Information in order for the Purpose to be fulfilled.  Prior to any such disclosure you must make that Representative aware of the fact that the Confidential Information is confidential and secret and the obligations of confidentiality contained in this clause 20, and procure that such Representative is subject to obligations of confidentiality substantially equivalent to those contained in this clause 20.  You will be liable for the acts and omissions of your Representatives in respect of Confidential Information as if they were your acts or omissions;

 

20.2.2 to the extent required by Applicable Law, by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by any securities exchange, listing authority, governmental or regulatory authority to which you are subject or to which you submit. Where reasonably practicable and lawful you will notify us in writing in advance of such disclosure, will consult with us as to the content, purpose and means of disclosure and will seek to make such disclosure subject to obligations of confidence consistent, so far as reasonably possible, with the terms of this Agreement.

 

20.3 We or our licensors own all right, title and interest in the Confidential Information and no licence or right to use any patent, copyright, registered design, unregistered design, trademark, trade name or similar right or any right to use any Confidential Information or trade secrets is granted by us.

20.6 Your obligations under this clause 20 will not extend to Confidential Information which:

 

20.6.1 we agree in writing is not Confidential Information;

 

20.6.2 at the time of disclosure was in the public domain or subsequently enters into the public domain other than as the direct or indirect result of a breach of this clause 20 by you or any of your Representatives;

 

20.6.3 you can prove to our reasonable satisfaction:

 

20.6.3.1 has been received by you (or one of your Representatives) from a third party who did not acquire it in confidence and who is free to make it available to you (or your relevant Representative); or

 

20.6.3.2 was independently developed by you (or your relevant Representative) without any breach of this Agreement.

 

20.7 You acknowledge and agree that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for a breach of this clause 20.  Accordingly, we will be entitled to obtain an injunction and specific performance for any breach or threatened breach of this clause 20.

 

21. General

No cancellation rights

 

21.1 We do not offer any cancellation rights in relation to your use of our Services and / or dealing in cryptoassets. We note that the price of cryptoassets is dependent on fluctuations in the financial market which cannot be controlled by us. You must therefore ensure that you are certain you wish to proceed before instructing us to make any transaction.

 

Legal, tax and accounting advice

21.2 We do not provide, nor do we accept responsibility for, any legal, tax or accounting advice. If you are unsure regarding any of the legal, tax or accounting aspects of dealing in cryptoassets or using our Services you should seek independent professional advice.

21.4 You may not delegate, assign or transfer any of your rights or responsibilities in relation to this Agreement.

 

Illegality and severability

 

21.5 Each provision of this Agreement is separate, severable and enforceable. If any term of this Agreement is found by any regulator, court or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unlawful, void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision shall be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner and without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall continue to be in full force and effect. 

 

Waiver

21.6 No failure or delay by us to exercise any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right, or any other right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of that right or any other right, power or remedy. A waiver is only effective if we provide it in writing from one of our duly authorised representatives. No waiver by us of any provision in this Agreement will be deemed a waiver of a subsequent breach of such provision or a waiver of a similar provision.   

 

Third parties

 

21.7 A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, or otherwise, to enforce any terms of this Agreement. This Agreement may be varied, amended, modified, suspended, cancelled, terminated or rescinded without the consent of any third party, notwithstanding that such third party may have relied on any terms of this Agreement.

 

No partnership or agency 

 

21.8 Your dealing in cryptoassets, or otherwise using our Services, does not create any form of partnership, agency, joint venture, employer-employee relationship, or franchisor-franchisee relationship or any other similar relationship between you and us, and we do not owe you any resulting fiduciary duties. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to authorise either you or us to act as agent for the other, and neither you or us shall have the authority to act in the name or on behalf of or otherwise to bind the other in any way (including the making of any representation or warranty, the assumption of any obligation or liability and the exercise of any right or power).

 

If you are more than one person

 

21.9 Each of you will be jointly responsible for complying with your obligations under this Agreement, and each of you bear full liability for any breach of these obligations. Any communication to any of you will be deemed to be given to all of you, and we may act on the instructions of any of you.

 

Entire agreement

 

21.10 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes any prior agreement, terms and conditions or arrangement in respect of its subject matter.

The only remedy available for any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or statement set out or referred to in this Agreement shall be for breach of contract.

 

21.12 Except as set out in this Agreement, we do not make or give any representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, currency, correctness, reliability, integrity, quality, fitness for purpose or originality of any information provided regarding cryptoassets, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all implied warranties, conditions or other terms of any kind are excluded and we accept no liability for any loss (of whatever nature)  incurred as a result of you or anyone else relying on such information.

SCHEDULE I 

RISKS OF DEALING IN CRYPTOASSETS

DEALING IN CRYPTOASSETS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, AND, THEREFORE, SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN ONLY IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EVALUATING THE RISKS INVOLVED AND ABLE TO BEAR THE RISK OF A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL CAPITAL USED TO DEAL IN CRYPTOASSETS. 

 

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW AND CONSULT WITH YOUR PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS BEFORE DEALING IN CRYPTOASSETS. DIFFERENT CRYPTOASSETS MAY HAVE UNIQUE FEATURES WHICH MAY MAKE THEM MORE OR LESS LIKELY TO FLUCTUATE IN VALUE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE LIST OF RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED BELOW IS NOT INTENDED TO BE EXHAUSTIVE AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY INCLUDE ALL THE RISKS TO WHICH YOU MAY BE EXPOSED WHEN DEALING IN CRYPTOASSETS.

 

NONE OF THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS SCHEDULE 1 IS INTENDED TO FORM THE BASIS FOR ANY INVESTMENT DECISION, NO SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS ARE INTENDED, AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CONSIDERATION AS TO WHETHER CRYPTOASSETS ARE A SUITABLE OR AN APPROPRIATE THING FOR YOU TO ACQUIRE. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS ARISING FROM: (I) RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS SCHEDULE 1, OR (II) ANY ERROR, OMISSION OR INACCURACY IN SUCH INFORMATION. 

 

By dealing in cryptoassets, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following risks, which we shall not be liable for should they materialise:

 

1. Risk of losing access to cryptoassets 

A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of cryptoassets stored in your digital wallet or vault.  Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with your digital wallet or vault storing cryptoassets may result in loss of your cryptoassets, and we are not responsible or liable for any loss you may suffer as a result or consequence. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service you use, may be able to misappropriate your cryptoassets.

Any errors or malfunctions caused by or otherwise related to the wallet with which you choose to receive and store cryptoassets, including your failure to properly maintain or use such wallet, may also result in the loss of your cryptoassets. A point to consider is the ability of the wallet you use to support any distributions of cryptoassets to wallet addresses (“airdrops”) as well as any changes to the usability, functions, value or versions of a cryptoasset (“forks”).  It is your responsibility to obtain, maintain and secure your wallet, which must be compatible with the cryptoassets you hold.

 

2. Regulatory risks

Regulation of cryptoassets and underlying blockchain technologies is currently still being developed and likely to rapidly evolve. Regulation varies significantly between different jurisdictions and is subject to significant uncertainty. Regulators may in the future adopt laws, regulations, guidance or other actions that may severely impact the development, attractiveness and / or value of cryptoassets. This could result in a variety of adverse consequences and reduce the value of cryptoassets. 

 

Regulatory changes may also limit our ability to provide our Services in your jurisdiction, and a consequence of changes could accordingly be to restrict our business and the Services we can provide to you. 

 

3. Risks associated with blockchain protocol(s)

 

Because cryptoassets are generally reliant on at least one blockchain protocol, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of a protocol may have a material adverse effect on cryptoassets reliant on it. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to cryptoassets by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the relevant protocol(s).

 

4. Risk of hacking and software and security weaknesses

 

Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with cryptoassets in a variety of ways, including malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing, as well as attacks which overpower the consensus-based mechanism on which the blockchain is built and attacks which interfere with or otherwise cause nodes to malfunction (nodes are computers / hardware devices that help maintain the blockchain). 

 

There is also an inherent risk that the software and related technologies and theories we use could contain a Virus. A Virus could cause, inter alia, complete loss of cryptoassets. In addition, where a cryptoasset is based on open-source software, there is a risk that someone may intentionally or unintentionally introduce a Virus into the core infrastructure supporting cryptoassets, which could negatively affect the operation and / or value of cryptoassets. 

 

5. No refunds and Liquidity risk

After acquiring cryptoassets, you will have no right to return them for a refund, and you may not be able to sell them for as much as you bought them for. The value of a cryptoasset is dependent on the demand for that cryptoasset as well as the ability to transfer and cost of transferring that cryptoasset (“liquidity”). There may be limited liquidity in certain cryptoassets, making it harder to dispose of them for their full (or any) value.

 

6. Exchange risk

There are risks when dealing with crypto exchanges, for example they may cease supporting a cryptoasset, may be hacked, may face solvency issues, may be the subject of fraud or may be negligent in carrying out transactions. In addition, an exchange may reject a transaction for any or no reason, or may not be able to function properly due to operational or technical difficulties or an unexpected surge in activity. We seek to deal with reputable and reliable exchanges but we simply cannot mitigate this risk entirely for you. You accept that where we deal with an exchange, any such dealings will be subject to the risks relating to that exchange.

 

7. Volatility risk 

The prices of cryptoassets have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile. Several factors may influence the market price of cryptoassets, including: (i) global digital asset and cryptoasset supply; (ii) the demand for cryptoassets; (iii) the security of cryptoassets exchanges and wallets that hold cryptoassets, as well the perception that the use and holding of cryptoassets is safe and secure; (iv) general expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, interest rates and exchange rates; (v) changes in the software, software requirements or hardware requirements underlying cryptoassets; (vi) changes in the rights, obligations, incentives, or rewards for the various holders of cryptoassets; (vii) interruptions in service from or failures of major cryptoasset exchanges on which cryptoassets are traded; (viii) investment and trading activities of large purchasers, including private and registered funds, that may directly or indirectly invest in cryptoassets; (ix) monetary policies of governments, as well as any trade restrictions, currency devaluations and revaluations; (x) regulatory measures, if any, that affect the use of cryptoassets and changes in Applicable Law; (xi) global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; and (xii) expectations among participants in cryptoassets that the value of cryptoassets will soon change.

 

A decrease in the price of a single cryptoasset may cause volatility in the entire cryptoasset industry and may affect other cryptoassets. For example, a security breach that affects participants’ confidence may affect the value of bitcoin. Such volatility may result in a significant loss over a short period of time.

 

8. Purchasers may lack information for monitoring cryptoassets

 

You may not be able to obtain all information you want from time to time regarding cryptoassets. Even if you do receive such information, you may not receive it on a timely basis. It is possible that you may not be aware of materially adverse changes that have occurred with respect to cryptoassets in a timely manner. As a result of these difficulties, as well as other uncertainties, you may not have accurate or accessible information relating to your dealing in cryptoassets, which could prevent you from taking actions with the potential to prevent adverse consequences relating to your holding of cryptoassets.

 

9. General economic risks

 

Please be aware that the value of cryptoassets can fall as well as rise. If you sell cryptoassets, you may not get back the full amount you spent on those cryptoassets, or anything at all. The value of cryptoassets may depend on fluctuations in the financial markets, or other economic factors, which are outside our control. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future performance of cryptoassets.

 

10. Unanticipated risks

Cryptoassets are built on relatively new and untested technology.  In addition to the risks included in this Schedule 1, there may be other risks associated with your dealing in cryptoassets, including those that we cannot reasonably foresee. Additional risks may also materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed above.

 

SCHEDULE 2

 

ADDITIONAL RISKS WHEN LENDING CRYPTOASSETS

As our lending service is unregulated, you do not have the regulatory protections which you would benefit from if, for example, you instead opened a deposit account with a bank. Whilst we may seek to mitigate the risks set out below, if you use our lending service you accept them, and we are not liable or responsible for any loss to you if they materialise.

 

1. Risks of dealing in cryptoassets

In addition to the risks set out below, the risks set out at Schedule 1 will also apply. As you are lending cryptoassets, these risks will apply throughout the time you lend cryptoassets. For example, if you receive interest in bitcoin, if the value of bitcoin falls, the actual value of your bitcoin holding may be less even if you hold more bitcoin as a result of the lending. 

 

2. Information risks

In deciding to lend, you may not have full and accurate information on which to base this decision. If you have any queries, you accept that you have been provided with adequate opportunity to ask them, and have performed your own independent assessment of whether and on what basis to lend to any provider. Whilst we will aim to provide you with accurate information regarding lending cryptoassets, we cannot and do not guarantee that the information we provide is complete and accurate and you must view it accordingly and should not act in reliance upon it. We do not accept liability for any information provided which is inaccurate or incomplete unless this is as a result of our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us.

 

3. Forks, airdrops and similar events

From time to time there may be distributions of cryptoassets to certain wallet addresses (“airdrops”), as well as any changes to the usability, functions, value or versions of a cryptoasset (“forks”).  Where you lend to a borrower/provider, that borrower/provider may not have any obligation to support any airdrop or fork, and / or may not pass the benefit of any airdrop or fork back to you where this is not an obligation under the terms of the lending. Where this is the case, we do not accept any liability for any less as a consequence.  

 

4. General market lending risk

 

You will not have oversight as to how borrowers/providers deal with the cryptoassets you lend to them. However, if a borrowers/providers goes insolvent or otherwise becomes unable to pay its debts as they fall due, then you may become a general creditor of the borrowers/providers. If this happens, you may not get back the same amount of cryptoassets as you have lent to the borrowers/providers, as the borrower’s/provider’s assets will be subject to its obligations to its other creditors.

 

5. Regulatory change 

Lending cryptoassets is a nascent industry. As such, as the regulation and law relating to lending cryptoassets develops, this may adversely impact or restrict our ability to provide our lending service and / or the commercial viability and attractiveness of our lending service.


 

6. Unanticipated risks

In addition to the risks included in this Schedule 2, there may be other risks associated with your lending cryptoassets, including those that we cannot reasonably foresee. Additional risks may also materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed above.


 

BY DEALING IN CRYPTOASSETS WITH US OR OTHERWISE USING OUR SERVICES YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ALL SCHEDULES) AND THAT YOU AGREE TO COMPLY WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

YOU ACCEPT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONTENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND, TO THE EXTENT ANYTHING IS UNCLEAR, HAVE CONTACTED US OR AN APPROPRIATE ADVISOR. YOU THEREFORE ACCEPT THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED SUFFICIENT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SERVICES TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION TO USE THEM.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: 

  • the transfer is to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the Information Commissioner’s Office. 

  • the use of specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.  These include Standard Contractual Clauses,  International Data Transfer Agreements and Data Processing Agreements. 

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

10. Data security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.  These measures include: 

  • Limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.  They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

  • Implementing procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach.  We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

11. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We might retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

By law, we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for seven years after they cease being customers for tax purposes and AML purposes.  

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data.  See the section below Your Legal Rights below for further information.

12. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

 

Right to information about how your personal data is used.  

You have the right to be told how we use your personal data.  This Privacy Notice is one way in which we provide this information to you.  If you ask, we’ll provide a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We can’t give you any personal data about other people, personal data which is linked to an ongoing criminal or fraud investigation, or personal data which is linked to settlement negotiations with you. We also won't provide you with any communication we've had with our legal advisers.

Right to access

You have the right to access your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you

This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we might need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

 

Request erasure of your personal data. 

This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. 

You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we might have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. 

Note, however, that we might not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.  

As a regulated financial services provider, we must keep certain customer personal data even when you ask us to delete it.  If you've closed your account, we might not be able to delete your entire file because these regulatory responsibilities take priority. We’ll always let you know if we can't delete your personal data.

 

Object to processing of your personal data

You can object to your personal data being processed where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. 

You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.  In some cases, we might demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. If you object to us using personal data which we need in order to provide our services, we might need to close your account as we won’t be able to provide the services.

 

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. 

This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

  • Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.

  • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. 

  • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. 

We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data

This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.  If you withdraw your consent, we might not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Request a review by a person of an automated decision 

You can request that a human person review any automated decision we made about you, where that automated decision significantly affects you.

 

12.1 Exercising your rights

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at support@satoshideals.org.

Your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors. Sometimes, we won’t be able to agree to your request (for example, if we have a legitimate reason for not doing so or the right does not apply to the particular information we hold about you).

12.2 No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we might charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

12.3 What we might need from you

We might need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).
