Privacy Policy
Introduction
Meridian Corporate Finance LLP's (MCF) website is intended to give clients and potential clients a clear overview of the business, its outlook and the types of advice given by MCF. It was an important aim of the website to provide visitors with a service that they could trust.
A central part of achieving such trust is this privacy policy. It is the rigorous enforcement of this policy that protects your privacy and ensures that your e-mail remains free of the unwanted marketing e-mail.
Except as set out in this privacy policy, MCF will never sell or give away e-mail addresses or other personal data of clients or people registering on the website without their express permission.
MCF has, of course, notified under the Data Protection Act, but our commitment to protecting your privacy goes further than that required by legislation. If you have any questions about our privacy policy - or any other aspect of the MCF's service - please contact us by e-mail at .
Consent
Whenever you give MCF personal data, you are consenting to its collection and use in accordance with this privacy policy, including MCF contacting you by e-mail and SMS to let you know about its services. You do, however, have the right at any time to opt out of the firm contacting you in this way for marketing purposes.
How does MCF use your personal data?
In addition to the specific uses mentioned elsewhere in this statement, MCF uses your personal data to provide services to you, to carry out database administration, to inform you about changes and improvements to MCF's website and services and for direct marketing purposes (but you do have the option to opt out of this).
MCF may also use your personal data to monitor the use of the site, to record traffic flows and to carry out research about its users demographics, interests and behaviour. MCF does this to understand the users of its website and clients better. MCF will retain your information for a reasonable period or as long as the law requires.
To whom might MCF disclose your personal data?
MCF will not disclose your personal data unless the firm is obliged to do so or allowed to do so by law, or where MCF needs to do so in order to run its business (for instance where we outsource services or other people process data for MCF). Finally, if our business enters into a joint venture or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners or owners.
Confidentiality
MCF respects the confidentiality of its clients and users of its website and uses systems to help keep their data secure. As more data is generated, so the chance of it going astray increases.
MCF has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control. No one can access data about our clients and registered website users without correct usernames and passwords.
Registration
Users of the website can register their interest in the services of MCF using their e-mail address to verify their identity. Registration will give you access to the latest newsletters and email bulletins and can be tailored to your individual interests.
