Trust and transparency are at the heart of all we do. In every interaction with our customers and suppliers, we aim to maintain the highest standards of integrity and openness. The same is true of how we manage and process your data. 

 

Azanti’s Privacy Management Practices are compliant with all relevant UK laws and regulations. This Global Privacy Notice covers:

Accountability and privacy by design

 

In every interaction you have with our brand and website, we ensure that your personal information is securely protected. 

 

As well as our dedicated Data Privacy Officer (responsible for overall privacy governance), every team member at Azanti is responsible for maintaining your privacy. 

 

If you have any questions, concerns or complaints about your privacy or data, please contact us at info@Azanti.co.uk, or call 0208 660 9208. Our friendly team is happy to help.

 

If you have concerns with our adherence to applicable privacy rules, you have the right to contact the relevant regulatory and/ or data protection authority.

 

The information we collect

 

We collect most of our data via our direct interactions with you. 

 

For example when you (the customer):

  • apply for a product
  • enter a contest
  • make a purchase
  • provide us with your email address/ other contact information

 

We may also collect financial information. However, this is only collected and used at the time of purchase by PayPal, Stripe or Apple Pay.

 

In the event of incomplete transactions, we may obtain customer data. This is in case there’s been a technical error, or the online shopping cart was abandoned. 

 

We also share data with Simple Leaf Ltd, a trading company owned by the Directors of Azanti. This is so we can market product information about this company. If you wish to opt out of this, you can do so during the time of registration.

 

Information about you (the customer)

 

The data required for fulfilling most financial requests and applications includes:

 

  • Information establishing your identity: Such as your name, address, phone number, title, business phone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number or social security number (for tax purposes), and account numbers.
  • Information to authenticate your identity: Such as knowledge-based information (i.e. username, password and account information), biometric information (i.e. signature, fingerprint and voiceprint), device information (i.e. device model, browser type, IP address, security cookie and approximate physical location of device).
  • Information related to transactions: From your relationship with and through us, and from other financial institutions, including point of sale details.
  • Information you provide on an application for the provision of our products and services, such as your annual income, place of employment, investments, account balance, financial liabilities and transaction history.
  • Information you provide during communication with us which may include family details, life events, goals and your opinions about our products.
  • Additional information may be requested to help us determine your eligibility for products and services that we offer.

 

Other information

 

In order to offer you the best possible customer experience, we’re continuously looking for ways to improve our service offerings. 

 

With this in mind, we routinely collect non-personal aggregated information from surveys, public archives and websites. This helps us understand the interests of our current and prospective clients, and to manage our risks and operations.

As our valued customers, you will always remain in control of your personal information. Providing us with your personal information will continue on to be your choice. 

 

You can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information (where we are processing your personal information based on your consent), at any time.

 

If you object to the processing of your personal information, or if you have provided your consent to processing and you later choose to withdraw it, we will respect that choice in accordance with our legal obligations. 

 

However, your decision to withhold particular details may limit or prevent us from providing financial advice based on your specific needs. It may also prevent us from providing products or services that you have requested.
