We may collect information:

  • Directly from you when you complete a form, subscribe or contact us.
  • Through your use of the website.

How and why we use your information

Managing newsletter subscriptions

We use your information to:

  • Add you to The A List newsletter mailing list.
  • Send new issues, articles, editorial updates and relevant magazine news.
  • Manage your subscription preferences.
  • Process unsubscribe requests.
  • Understand general newsletter engagement and improve future editions.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in our emails or by contacting us.

Responding to enquiries

We use information submitted through contact forms, email or telephone to:

  • Respond to your enquiry.
  • Provide the information you requested.
  • Manage reader feedback.
  • Discuss potential editorial contributions, interviews, advertising or collaborations.
  • Direct your enquiry to the appropriate person or PCC Group business where you have asked us to do so.

Depending on the nature of the enquiry, the legal basis may be:

  • Taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement.
  • Our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and managing the publication.
  • Your consent, particularly where you have asked us to pass your details to another PCC Group business.
Operating and improving the website

We may use technical and website information to:

  • Operate and maintain the website.
  • Understand how visitors use the site.
  • Identify popular articles, topics and magazine editions.
  • Improve website navigation, performance and content.
  • Detect errors, misuse, fraud or security threats.
  • Produce aggregated website statistics.

The legal basis may be our legitimate interest in operating, protecting and improving the website.

Where analytics or other non-essential cookies require consent, those technologies will only be activated after you have provided the relevant cookie consent.

Marketing and promotional communications

We will only send marketing or promotional communications where we have an appropriate legal basis to do so.

Where you have expressly agreed to receive information from the wider PCC Group, we may send you relevant updates concerning services offered by PCC Group businesses.

Consent to receive marketing must be freely given and is not a condition of submitting a general enquiry.

You may withdraw your consent or object to marketing at any time.

Referring enquiries to PCC Group businesses

The A List Magazine contains content and links relating to PCC Wealth, PCC Property, PCC Legal, PCC Insurance and other PCC Group businesses.

If you specifically ask to speak to one of these businesses, we may share the relevant details of your enquiry with that business so it can respond.

We will not automatically treat a magazine newsletter subscription as consent to receive marketing from every PCC Group business.

Where separate consent is required, we will request it clearly.

Once an enquiry is passed to another PCC Group business, that organisation may act as a separate data controller and provide its own privacy information.

Legal, regulatory and security purposes

We may process or disclose information where necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Respond to a lawful request from a court, regulator or public authority.
  • Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • Protect the website, our organisation or other people from fraud, misuse or security threats.
  • Enforce our website terms.

Cookies and analytics

The website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

  • Enabling essential website functions.
  • Remembering user choices.
  • Maintaining website security.
  • Measuring website traffic and performance.
  • Understanding how visitors interact with pages and content.
  • Supporting embedded content or social-media features.

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent where they are essential for the website to function.

Analytics, advertising, social-media or other non-essential cookies will only be used where permitted by law and, where required, after you have provided consent through the cookie banner or preference centre.

You can change or withdraw your cookie choices through the cookie settings available on the website.

Our separate Cookie Policy should identify the individual cookies and technologies used, their providers, purposes and duration.

Who we may share information with

We may share personal information with carefully selected recipients where this is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

These may include:

  • Website hosting and maintenance providers.
  • Information technology and cybersecurity providers.
  • Website-form and customer relationship management providers.
  • Newsletter and email-distribution providers.
  • Website analytics and cookie-management providers.
  • Professional advisers, including legal, compliance and accountancy advisers.
  • Relevant PCC Group businesses where you have asked us to refer your enquiry.
  • Contractors or contributors helping us operate or produce the magazine.
  • Public authorities, courts or regulators where disclosure is legally required.
  • A purchaser or successor organisation in connection with a genuine sale, merger or restructuring of the relevant business.

Service providers that process personal information on our behalf are required to process it only for the agreed purposes and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

We do not sell personal information.

We will not provide newsletter subscriber details to unrelated third parties so they can conduct their own marketing.

International transfers

Some technology, hosting, analytics or newsletter service providers may process information outside Spain or the European Economic Area.

Where personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we will take appropriate steps to protect it. Depending on the destination and provider, these safeguards may include:

  • A European Commission adequacy decision.
  • Approved standard contractual clauses.
  • Additional contractual, organisational or technical safeguards.
  • Another lawful transfer mechanism recognised under applicable data protection law.

Further information about the safeguards used for a particular provider may be requested using the contact details in this policy.

How long we keep information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet any applicable legal obligations.

As a general guide:

Newsletter information

Newsletter subscription information will normally be retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent.

We may retain limited information on a suppression list after you unsubscribe so that we can record and respect your request not to receive further communications.

Contact enquiries

General enquiries will normally be retained for up to 24 months after our last meaningful contact, unless:

  • The enquiry develops into an ongoing business or contractual relationship.
  • A longer period is required by law.
  • The information is needed to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
  • You ask us to delete it and no overriding reason requires us to retain it.
Collaboration and editorial information

Information relating to published articles, interviews, contributors, permissions and publication agreements may be retained for as long as the relevant content remains published and for a reasonable period afterwards.

Website and technical information

Website logs, analytics information and cookie information will be retained in accordance with our technical requirements, provider settings and Cookie Policy.

Consent records

Records showing when and how consent was obtained or withdrawn may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with data protection and electronic marketing requirements.

Your data protection rights

Subject to the conditions and limitations set out in applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Ask us to delete your information.
  • Ask us to restrict how we use your information.
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Object at any time to direct marketing.
  • Request a portable copy of information you provided to us.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the consent was withdrawn.

To exercise your rights, contact: datarequest@pccwealth.com

We may need to request information to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will only request information reasonably necessary for that purpose.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

Automated decision-making

We do not use information collected through The A List Magazine website to make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorised access.
  • Accidental loss.
  • Misuse or alteration.
  • Unauthorised disclosure.
  •  

Access to personal information is limited to people and service providers who require it for legitimate business purposes.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid submitting confidential financial, medical or identification information through ordinary website forms or email.

Links and embedded content

The website may include links to websites operated by PCC Group businesses and unrelated third parties.

It may also include embedded videos, maps, social-media features, digital magazine viewers or other third-party content.

Those third parties may collect information when you interact with their content. Their processing is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

The A List Magazine is not responsible for the privacy practices of unrelated third-party websites.

Children’s information

The website is intended for a general adult audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that personal information has been submitted by a child without appropriate permission, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect:

  • Changes to the website.
  • New forms, technologies or service providers.
  • Changes to our newsletter or editorial activities.
  • Changes in legal or regulatory requirements.

The latest version will be published on the website with the date it was last updated.

What information do we collect about you?

We collect information about you when you engage us for financial advice. This information will relate to your personal and financial circumstances. It may also include special categories of personal data such as data about your health, if this is necessary for the provision of our services.
We may collect information when you voluntarily complete client surveys or provide feedback to us.

Information relating to usage of our website is collected using cookies. These are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. We may use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to the site.

Why do we need to collect and use personal data?

The primary legal basis that we intend to use for the processing of your data is for the performance of our contract with you. The information that we collect about you is essential for us to be able to carry out the services that you require from us effectively. In addition, without collecting your personal data, we would be unable to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations.

Where special category data is required, we will obtain your explicit consent in order to collect and process this information.

How will we use the information about you?

We collect information about you in order to provide you with the services for which you engage us.

Who might we share your information with?

If you agree, we may contact you about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you.

If you agree, we will pass on your personal information to other PCC entities, especially if you move jurisdiction, so that you will receive ongoing services; they may also offer you their own products and services. This consent to transfer your data to a new controller will be obtained at the time of your relocation and will require you to sign a Data Transfer Form.

We will not share your information for marketing purposes with companies outside our network of companies.

In order to deliver services to you effectively we may send your details to third party providers, such as those we engage for professional compliance, accountancy or legal services as well as product and platform providers that we use to arrange financial products for you and as long as it is in connection with relevant transactions.

Where third parties are involved in processing your data we will have a contract in place with them to ensure that the nature and purpose of the processing is clear, that they are subject to a duty of confidence in processing your data and that they will only act in accordance with our written instructions.

Where it is necessary for your personal data to be forwarded to a third party, we will use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in transit. This could include password protection and/or encryption of data. Some administration services are outsourced and provided by a PCC network partner based in Malta.

To fulfill our obligations in respect of prevention of money laundering and other financial crime we may send your details to third party agencies for identity verification purposes.

How long do we keep hold of your information?

In principle, your personal data shouldn’t be held for longer than is required under the terms of our contract for services with you. However, we are subject to regulatory requirements to retain data for specified minimum periods. We also reserve the right to retain data for longer than this due to the possibility that it may be required to defend a future claim against us. In any case, we will not retain your personal data for longer than 10 years past the time of your death.

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. We will comply with this request, subject to the restrictions of our regulatory obligations and legitimate interests as noted above.

How can I access the information you hold about me?

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information please email or write to us using the contact details noted below.

When your personal data is processed by automated means you have the right to ask us to move your personal data to another organisation for their use.

We have an obligation to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. Please ask us to correct or remove any information that you think is incorrect.
