Our legal basis

For us to provide you with Financial Services & advice we need to collect personal data to provide protection quotes and process life, pensions and investments contracts and claims. Our lawful reason for processing your data under the GDPR is:

​

Legal basis - Peter Duggan Financial Services Ltd needs to collect and process your data as this is necessary in fulfilling life/pension & investment contracts to which you have entered into, or because you the individual has asked for something to be done so you can enter into a contract or to process a claim.

Peter Duggan Financial Services Ltd is committed to ensuring that the information we collect, and use is appropriate for this purpose and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.

How will Peter Duggan Financial Services Ltd use the personal data it collects about me?

Peter Duggan Financial Services Ltd will process (collect, store and use) the information you provide in a manner compatible with the EUs’ General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will endeavour to keep your information accurate and up to date, and not keep it for longer than is necessary

Special Categories of personal data

If we collect any special categories of personal data i.e. health data, we will obtain your explicit consent (this consent can be withdrawn by you at any time).

Who are we sharing your data with?

We share your personal data with our Product Providers (available on request) to complete the set up and administration of all life, pensions and investments contracts and to process any claims that may arise and with Broker Information Systems who own the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database we use. All data is encrypted with security safeguards in place to protect your information. (Our full Data Protection Policy & Cybersecurity Policy is available upon request).
Peter Duggan Financial Services Ltd will never use or pass on to any third party any personal data for marketing purposes.

If we are requested by you as the data subject, to pass your personal or sensitive personal data onto a third party (i.e. accountant, other Financial Advisor, mortgage advice) we will only do so once we have obtained your explicit consent, unless we are legally required to do otherwise. We have contracts in place with all our Product Providers and suppliers, which protect your and our rights under the GDPR.

We do not currently transfer any data to other countries within the EEA or outside the EEA. Should it be necessary to do so, we as the data controller will ensure the recipient (processor or another controller) has provided the appropriate safeguards and on condition that enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for you the data subject are available.

Failure to provide further information
If we are collecting your data for a contract and you cannot or do not want to provide this data, the consequences of this could mean the contract cannot be completed or details are incorrect.

Profiling – automatic decision making
When establishing affordability and providing quotes for Financial Services such as Protection contracts we use an online quotation system (through Broker Information Services) to do this. We use the information you provide to us to acquire the best quote.

Automated decisions are made when it comes to underwriting a policy. You have the right to object to the automated underwriting decisions made by our Product Providers in certain circumstances.

Risk Profiling
To establish a customers’ attitude to investment risk (relates to pensions and investments) we use automated calculators which calculate your attitude to various levels of risk after having answered a series of questions. This is necessary to identify the level of investment risk you are prepared to take enabling us to advise you according to your risk rating.

Additional Processing
If we intend to further process your personal data for a purpose other than for which the data was collected, we will provide this information prior to processing this data.
