Website Privacy Policy
This policy (together with our Terms and Conditions and any other documents referred to in it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it. By visiting http://www.rsukltd.co.uk/ you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this policy.
What Information Do We Collect?
Information you give us. You may give us information about you by filling in forms on our Site or by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise. This includes information you provide when you register to use our Site, subscribe to our services, search for a product, participate in discussion boards or other social media functions on our Site, enter a competition, promotion or survey and when you report a problem with our Site. The information you give us may include your name, address, e-mail address and phone number, financial and credit card information, personal description, photograph, and other information which may be considered “sensitive” for the purposes of data protection legislation such as health and lifestyle information. By completing any of our forms on our Site you are signifying your explicit consent to collecting such information.
Why Do We Need to Collect And Use Your Personal Data?
The primary legal basis that we intend to use for the processing of our data is for the performance of our contract with you. The information that we collect about you is essential for us to be able to carry out the services that you require from us effectively. Without collecting your personal data we’d also be unable to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations.
We may also use “Legitimate Interests” as a basis for processing data. This may be applicable where we identify a legitimate interest, and that processing data is necessary to achieve this. This basis will always be balanced against your interests, rights and freedoms, and only where legitimate aim cannot be achieved without the processing of data. If we can reasonably achieve the same result in another way that does not involve the processing of data, we will choose that method instead. Where special category data is required we’ll obtain your explicit consent in order to collect and process this information.

Information About You And Your Visits To Our Site
We process information about you in accordance with our Privacy and Cookies policies By using our Site, you consent to such processing and you warrant that all data provided by you is accurate.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Do We Use Cookies?
Yes, please see our cookies policy for more information on how we use cookies.
Do We Disclose Information to Third Parties?
If you agree, we may email you about other products or services that we may think of interest to you. We won’t share your information for marketing purposes with any other companies without your consent. In order to deliver our services to you effectively we may send your details to third parties such as those that we engage for professional compliance, accountancy or legal services as well as product and platform providers that we use to arrange financial products for you. Where third parties are involved in processing your data we’ll have a contract in place with them to ensure that the nature and purpose of the processing is clear, that they are subject to a duty of confidence in processing your data and that they’ll only act in accordance with our written instructions. Where it’s necessary for your personal data to be forwarded to a third party we’ll use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in transit. We will enhance the security of your data during transfer by encryption and password protection. To fulfil our obligations in respect of money laundering and other financial crime we may send your details to third party agencies for identity verification purposes.
We use a third party service, FormSpark, to collect data from our questionnaire and therefore keep personal details to a minimum. FormSpark does not sell your personally identifiable information to third parties. They may employ trusted third-party companies and individuals to facilitate the service, provide the service on their behalf, perform service-related tasks, or assist in analysing how the service is used.

How Long Do We Keep Hold Of Your Information?
In principle, your personal data shouldn’t be held for longer than is required. However, depending on whether a contract for services is entered, we may be subject to regulatory requirements to retain data for specified minimum periods. We also reserve the right to retain data for longer than this due to the possibility that it may be required to defend a future claim against us.
