This Privacy Policy explains how Knightsbridge Nominee Limited collects and uses personal information when you visit our website, contact us, undergo due diligence, purchase services or interact with us in another business capacity.

1. Who we are

Knightsbridge Nominee Limited is the controller responsible for the personal data described in this policy. We are incorporated in England and Wales under company number 15760741, with registered office at 21 Knightsbridge, London, England, SW1X 7LY. Our ICO registration reference is ZC105943.

Privacy enquiries may be sent to office@knightsbridgenominee.com or by post to the registered office, marked “Data Protection”.

2. Personal data we may collect

  • Contact and identity information, such as name, date of birth, nationality, residential address, email address, telephone number, signature and identification-document details.
  • Business and corporate information, including company details, directorships, shareholdings, beneficial ownership, organisational structure, business activities, websites, licences and professional history.
  • Due diligence and risk information, including source of funds, source of wealth, tax residence, expected activity, countries of operation, sanctions and politically exposed person screening results, adverse-media results and information needed to assess legal or regulatory risk.

  • Information supplied by third parties, including public registers, verification providers, professional advisers, directors, corporate clients, banks, payment providers, marketplaces and persons authorised to act for you.

We do not intentionally collect more personal data than is reasonably necessary. We generally do not seek special-category data. If sensitive or criminal-offence data is provided or must be processed, we will do so only where permitted by law and with appropriate safeguards.

3. How we use personal data and our lawful bases

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether the processing is necessary and balance our interests against your rights and reasonable expectations.

4. When information is required

Some information is required to enter into or perform a contract, comply with law, complete due diligence or satisfy a Third-Party Provider. If you do not provide required information, we may be unable to accept an instruction, appoint a director, submit an application or continue providing Services.

5. How we collect personal data

  • Directly from you through forms, email, telephone, video calls, meetings, secure uploads, agreements and payment processes.
  • From a company, adviser, agent, beneficial owner, director, employee or other person connected with an enquiry or engagement.
  • From public sources such as Companies House, professional registers, court or insolvency records, official sanctions lists and publicly available websites.
  • From identity-verification, fraud-prevention, compliance, banking, payment and marketplace providers.
  • Automatically through website cookies, server logs and security tools, subject to your cookie choices.

6. Sharing personal data

We do not sell personal data. We may share it, where necessary and proportionate, with:

  • appointed or prospective directors, nominees, company secretaries and authorised personnel;
  • Companies House, HMRC, courts, law-enforcement bodies, regulators and other competent authorities;
  • banks, electronic money institutions, payment providers, card or merchant providers and marketplace platforms when requested as part of a Service;
  • identity-verification, sanctions-screening, fraud-prevention and compliance providers;
  • solicitors, accountants, tax advisers, notaries, insurers, auditors and other professional advisers;
  • cloud hosting, email, customer-management, secure-document, payment, IT support, analytics, communications and courier providers;
  • a buyer, investor or successor if our business or assets are reorganised, sold or transferred, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.

Recipients are given only the information reasonably needed for their role and must handle it lawfully.

7. International transfers

Some service providers or recipients may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where required, we use an adequacy regulation, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses, or another lawful safeguard. You may contact us for information about the relevant safeguard.

8. Data security

We use proportionate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction. Measures may include access controls, password and multi-factor authentication, encryption in transit, secure document transfer, restricted staff access, backups, audit trails and vendor due diligence.

No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Please do not send identity documents or sensitive records through an insecure channel when a secure upload method is available.

9. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, including legal, anti-money-laundering, tax, accounting, insurance and dispute-resolution requirements. Our Data Retention Policy contains more detail. KYC and transaction records may generally be retained for five years after a business relationship ends where anti-money-laundering law applies, and contractual or accounting records may generally be retained for six years or longer where legally required.

10. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal data;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request erasure of data where there is no lawful reason to retain it;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing;
  • receive certain data in a portable format;
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent;
  • complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

 

To exercise a right, contact office@knightsbridgenominee.com. We may need to verify your identity. Rights are not absolute, and we may retain or continue processing information where law permits or requires it.

11. Marketing

We may contact business clients and professional contacts about relevant services where permitted by law. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in a marketing email or by contacting us. Opting out of marketing does not affect service, compliance or administrative communications.

12. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent. Analytics, preference and marketing technologies will be used only in accordance with applicable rules and your choices. Please see our Cookie Policy and use the Cookie Preferences control to change your selections.

13. Automated decisions

We may use screening tools to help identify risk, but we do not intend to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means. A person reviews material onboarding and risk decisions.

14. Children

Our Services are intended for adults and business users. We do not knowingly offer Services to children or intentionally collect personal data from anyone under 18.

15. Complaints

Please contact us first at office@knightsbridgenominee.com so we can try to resolve a privacy concern. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Information about making a complaint is available on the ICO website.

16. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our processing, providers or legal obligations change. The current version and last-updated date will be published on this page. Where a change materially affects how we use existing personal data, we will provide additional notice where appropriate.
