How Meridian Capital Partners collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Last updated: 1 January 2025Meridian Capital Partners ("we", "us", "our") is the data controller responsible for your personal data. We are registered in England & Wales, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as a data controller. Our registered office is 30 St Mary Axe, London EC3A 8BF, United Kingdom.
We collect information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the platform, and information from third parties such as identity-verification and fraud-prevention providers. This includes:
We use your personal data to open and administer your account, process deposits, withdrawals and loan applications, verify your identity, comply with anti-money-laundering and sanctions obligations, prevent fraud, provide customer support, and improve our services. We may also use your data to send you service messages and, where you have consented, marketing communications.
Under the UK GDPR we rely on the following lawful bases: performance of a contract (to provide our services), legal obligation (for AML, KYC and regulatory compliance), legitimate interests (for fraud prevention and service improvement), and consent (for marketing and non-essential cookies).
We may share your data with identity-verification providers, payment processors, custodians and tier-1 UK banks, professional advisers, and regulators or law-enforcement bodies where required by law. We do not sell your personal data. Where we transfer data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is open and for a minimum of six years after it is closed, in line with UK anti-money-laundering record-keeping requirements. We then securely delete or anonymise your data.
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access your data, request correction or erasure, restrict or object to processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@meridianncapital.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
We use encryption in transit, access controls, monitoring and staff training to protect your data. Client funds are held in segregated accounts at tier-1 UK banks. While no system is completely secure, we take our obligations seriously and continuously review our safeguards.
For any privacy question, contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@meridianncapital.com or write to us at 30 St Mary Axe, London EC3A 8BF. If you are unhappy with our response, you may complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk.
