Tempo Capital Partners LLP is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), under Firm Reference Number (“FRN”) 458659. TempoCap’s FRN is 748684.

TempoCap and Tempo Capital Partners LLP are collectively referred to as “TempoCap”, “Firm” or “we” in this Privacy Policy.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”, including the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR, as applicable), TempoCap will be the ‘controller’ of the personal data you provide. Please read the following information carefully in order to understand the Firm’s practices in relation to the treatment of your personal data. Should you have any questions, please email us at info@tempocap.com.

What data privacy principles does the Firm adhere to?

• The Firm will process all personal data in a lawfully, fair and transparent manner;
• The Firm will only collect personal data where it is necessary;
  • For the Firm to provide a service to you;
  • For you to provide a service to the Firm;
  • For the Firm to keep you informed of its products and services; or
  • For the Firm to comply with its legal and regulatory obligations.
• The personal data collected by the Firm will be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the specific purpose for which your data will be processed;
• The Firm will take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is accurate and, were necessary, kept up-to-date;
• The Firm will maintain personal data in a form that permits identification no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data has been collected for processing, in accordance with the Firm’s record retention requirements as mandated by the FCA;
• The Firm will hold and process person data in a manner that ensures appropriate security;
• The Firm will only share personal data where it is necessary to provide the agreed service or where it is necessary for the Firm to comply with its legal and regulatory requirements.
• The Firm will only utilise a service provider based outside of the United Kingdom for the processing of personal data where this is strictly necessary to facilitate our services to you. In all cases, we will ensure service providers are fully compliant with GDPR ahead of transferring any personal data.

What personal data does the Firm collect and why?

In the course of providing products or/and services to you, the Firm may collect information that is considered personal information (e.g. name, contact details, address, passport number, driving licence).

As a client, contact or employee of TempoCap, we will require some personal information in order to verify your identity and have the applicable relationship with you. Some of this information may be required to satisfy legal obligations (e.g. to comply with obligations arising under the money laundering regulations whereas other information may be required in connection with the provision of services to you). The information collected will vary depending on the service the Firm provides to you or you provide to the Firm, but typically includes:

• Personal information: Such as your name, date of birth, passport number or national insurance number;
• Contact information: Including your address, telephone number and email address.

Where does the Firm store my personal data?

The Firm has comprehensive policies and procedures in place to ensure your personal data is kept safe and secure, with these including:

• Data encryption;
• Firewalls;
• Intrusion detection;
• 24/7 physical protection of the facilities where your data is stored (i.e. Microsoft’s UK data centres);
• Background checks for personnel that access physical facilities; and
• Security procedures across all service operations.

How long does the Firm retain personal data?

As a regulated entity, the Firm is required to maintain its books and records for a prescribed period (five years from either the ceasing of a business relationship, or, in the case of non-clients, from the making of a record – or alternatively, for seven years, where specifically requested to do so by the FCA). As such, information that falls in scope of either of these requirements is retained in line with the mandated timeframe.

Any information that is outside the scope of this requirement will be retained whilst relevant and useful, and destroyed where this ceases to be the case or where the data subject specifically requests this.

How have I been categorised in accordance with GDPR?

The GDPR requires the Firm to inform you of the legal basis on which we maintain your personal data. Typically, the Firm will reach out to you personally to confirm this; however, as a general rule the following is applicable:

• Clients – Information is maintained on the basis of contractual obligation and/or legitimate interests (where relevant);
• Service providers – Information is maintained on the basis of contractual obligation; and
• Database/marketing contacts – Information is maintained on the basis of legitimate interest.
