About us

In order for us to deliver such financial services and deal with any correspondence that may arise, we need to collect and process personal information. This makes us a “data controller”.

Webster Associates Ltd the United Kingdom will be acting as data controller of your personal information, jointly with St. James’s Place Wealth Management.

Our processing of your personal information:

Depending on our relationship with you (whether you are a prospective or existing client or a business partner), we will collect and use different personal information about you for different reasons.

Sometimes we will request or receive “special categories of personal information” (which is information relating to your health, genetic or biometric data, criminal convictions, sex life, sexual orientation, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, and trade union membership). For example in order to better understand your current and potential future circumstances and recommend appropriate financial investments, we may need access to information about your health. Details about your health might also be needed for us to make reasonable adjustments when providing our services to you.

We also use details of any unspent criminal convictions for fraud prevention purposes.

Where you provide personal information to us about other individuals (for example, members of your family or other dependents) we will also be data controller of their personal information and responsible for protecting their personal information and using it appropriately. This notice will therefore apply to those individuals and you should refer them to this notice.
