​

This policy describes the types of personal information we may collect about you, the purposes for which we use the information, the circumstances in which we may share the information and the steps that we take to safeguard the information to protect your privacy. As used throughout this policy (the "Policy"), the term “L5 Investments” refers to (the "Company", "L5", "Us", or "We") and its affiliates.

​

The Sources of Information

The personal information we collect about you comes primarily from the account applications or other forms and materials you may submit to L5 during the course of your relationship with us. We may also collect information about your transactions and experiences with us relating to the services we provide. In addition, depending on the services you require, we may obtain additional information about you, such as your credit history, from consumer reporting agencies.

​

Finally, in the provision of financial services to you and subject to strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, information may be collected about you indirectly from monitoring or other means (e.g. e-mail monitoring). In these circumstances, the information is not accessed on a continuous or routine basis, but it may be used for compliance or security purposes.

​

The Information We Hold about You

If you deal with L5 in your individual capacity (e.g. as a private client), or as a settlor/trustee/beneficiary of a trust, or as an owner or principal of a company or other investment vehicle established to invest on your behalf or on behalf of your family, etc., the typical information we collect about you may include (in addition to any other information as may be determined on a case-by-case basis):

​

• Your full name, phone number, email address, organization, and other contact details;

• A personal identifier such as, depending on your country of residence, your Social Security Number, National Insurance Number, Tax File Number, etc.

​

You are not required to supply any of the personal information that we may request. However, failure to do so may result in us being unable to open or maintain your account or to provide services to you. While we make every effort to ensure that all information we hold about our clients is accurate, complete and up to date, we rely on our clients promptly notifying us if there are any material changes to their personal information.

​

Disclosures of Your Personal Information within L5 Investments

Each such third party is required to maintain the confidentiality of such information to the extent received and to use your personal information only in the course of providing the services, and only for the purposes, dictated by L5.

​

We may also disclose your personal information to fulfill your instructions, to protect our rights and interests and those of our business partners or pursuant to your express consent.
