Privacy Policy

Currency Index Ltd (CI) is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under the Data Protection Act 1998 for the secure handling of personal data, Registration Number Z1495263.

On registration with us, you (The Client) authorises CI to collect, use, store or otherwise process any personal information (‘Personal Information’) to enable CI and/or members of its group and/or the organisation which introduced or referred the Client to CI to provide and/or improve its services.

CI may also use the Personal Information to provide the Client with news and other information on CI’s services and activities which may be useful to the Client. If the Client would prefer its Personal Information not to be used for such purposes, it should contact CI at the Registered Address.

The Client authorises CI to use any Personal Information it holds to complete a free e-identity check through approved third-party providers, to comply with HMRC "Know your Client" rules. This is not a credit check, and will identify the Client to satisfy these rules in most cases. Such approved third-party providers will not use Personal Information for any other purposes than identity verification and reporting of the same to CI.

CI will not pass on Personal Information to any other third parties other than as described in 12.2 to 12.4 of our terms and conditions of business, or when requested from authorities such as the police, HMRC, SOCA or other enforcement agencies.

CI may keep records of Personal Information and results of identity checks in accordance with all current and applicable laws.
