This website is published by Vantage Financial Planning Ltd. Vantage Financial Planning Ltd is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

We at Vantage Financial Planning Ltd respect your right to privacy and are committed to protecting your privacy. We comply with our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2018. The purpose of this website privacy policy is to outline how we deal with any personal data you provide to us when visiting this website. By visiting this website, you are accepting the terms of this website privacy policy. Any external links to other websites are clearly identifiable as such, and we are not responsible for the content of the privacy policies of those other websites.

Purpose for holding and processing information
In order to provide you with our services (Financial Planning) it is necessary for us to collect and process your personal data. We are required, therefore, to inform you of the legal bases for processing your personal data. One such legal basis is that the processing is necessary for the performance of the advisory services contract (and any other contract) that we commit to delivering to you from time to time. Another legal basis is that some processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interest that we have, as a firm that is authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, in the proper administration and correct operation of our firm. There may also be circumstances where the legal basis for processing your personal data is consent (where we have sought it and it has been provided to us), in which case that consent may be withdrawn at any time.

In any event, Vantage Financial Planning Ltd are committed to ensuring that the information we collect, and use is appropriate for this purpose, and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.

How Vantage Financial Planning Ltd will use the personal data it collects
Vantage Financial Planning Ltd will process (collect, store and use) the information you provide in a manner compatible with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will endeavour to keep your information accurate and up to date, and not keep it for longer than is necessary.

Sharing Information
We will only use the information you give to us to provide you with the range of insurance, investment and other products which you request and/or which we believe may be in your best interests or to meet our regulatory obligations. We will therefore only pass information to our staff, consultants, support service providers or at your request to other parties, or as required by law in order to meet our legal and/or regulatory obligations.

We may pass your personal data on to third-party service providers contracted to Vantage Financial Planning Ltd in the course of dealing with you. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details securely, and to use them only to fulfil the service they provide on your behalf.

If we wish to pass your sensitive personal data onto a third party we will only do so once we have obtained your explicit consent, unless we are legally required to do otherwise.

Security
Your personal data is held on a secure server. The nature of the internet is such that we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us via the internet. No transmission of data over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. However, we take all reasonable steps, including appropriate technical and organisational measures, to protect your personal data.

Your privacy is important to us. If you have any comments or questions regarding this statement, please contact us at team@vantagefp.ie.

Vantage Financial Planning Ltd may change this privacy policy from time to time. When such a change is made, we will post a revised version online.
