Data Protection Notice
Gartmore Investment Limited, Gartmore Fund Managers Limited and
their group companies ("Gartmore") will use your personal details
and information we obtain from other sources to provide you with
our products and services, for administration and customer
services, for research, for anti-money laundering checks, for
marketing, to analyse your purchasing preferences and to ensure
that the content, services and advertising that we offer are
tailored to your needs and interests. We may keep your information
for a reasonable period for these purposes. We may need to share
your information with our service providers and agents for these
purposes e.g. where you have applied for investment products. Where
you have applied for an investment through a financial adviser we
may disclose information concerning your investment in these
products to that financial adviser.
In assessing your application for an investment product, to
prevent fraud, to check your identity and to prevent money
laundering, Gartmore may search the files of credit reference
agencies. We may also disclose details of how you conduct your
account to such agencies. The information will be used for fraud
prevention, money laundering prevention and occasionally for
tracing debtors. Information used for these purposes will include
publicly available information such as electoral roll, county court
judgments, bankruptcy orders or repossessions.
We may contact you by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail or other
electronic messaging service with offers of goods and services or
information that may be of interest to you for our products. By
providing us with your fax number, telephone numbers or email
address you consent to being contacted by these methods for these
purposes.
If you do not wish to receive marketing information from us use
the link above to inform us of your wishes.
By providing us with your personal information, you consent to
our processing your sensitive personal data for the above purposes.
You also consent to our transferring your information to countries
or jurisdictions which do not provide the same level of data
protection as the UK, if appropriate for the above purposes. If we
do make such a transfer, we will take appropriate steps to ensure
that your information is protected.
If you provide us with information about another person, you
confirm that they have appointed you to act for them, to consent to
the processing of their personal data including sensitive personal
data and that you have informed them of our identity and the
purposes (as set out above) for which their personal data will be
processed.
We offer the use of a secure server when you place orders or
access your account information. The secure server software
encrypts your information before it is sent to us. We also take
appropriate measures to ensure that the information disclosed to us
is kept secure, accurate and up to date and kept only for so long
as is necessary for the purposes for which it is used.
We link to a variety of other sites and we display
advertisements from third parties on our site. We are not
responsible for the content or privacy policies of these sites and
third party advertisers, nor for the way in which information about
their users is treated. In particular, unless expressly stated, we
are not agents for these sites or advertisers nor are we authorised
to make representations on their behalf.
If your personal details change, if you change your mind about
any of your marketing preferences or if you have any queries about
how we use your information, please let us know.
This data protection notice may change and therefore you should
review it regularly. We will of course notify you of any changes
where we are required to do so.

A cookie is text-only information that a website transfers to
