Privacy policy​

Read the details as to how Nedbank Private Wealth collects and processes data, including your personal information.

Overview

This policy relates to the privacy of your information with regard to Nedbank Private Wealth International, which is the registered trading name of Nedbank Private Wealth Limited.

Nedbank Private Wealth is committed to keeping your information private. By ‘your information’, we mean any information about you, provided either by you or a third party.

It sets out the categories of personal information we may collect from you as you use the website, as well as how we process that personal information.

If you have any questions about this policy, or do not agree with it, please contact us before using the website.

By using any part of the website, or providing personal information to Nedbank Private Wealth, you consent to us processing your personal information as set out in this policy.

General principles​

If you are an individual or corporate client of Nedbank Private Wealth, the way in which information about you is held and used is described in section 4 of our terms and conditions, and our privacy notices, which can be accessed via our literature downloads page.

In general, you can use this website without giving us any information. Any domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify you, but instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the website and pages viewed. We use this information to measure the use of our website and to improve its contents.

If you register to use our online wealth services and/or our mobile app, we will ask you to provide some information about yourself for security, identification and verification purposes.

When completing any online forms, your information will be used in relation to the product or service you’re applying for, within the form and in any associated terms and conditions.

Where you provide information about others (for example, for events, joint accounts or if you are recommending someone to become a client), you must ensure that you have their consent, or are otherwise entitled, to provide their information to us.

We may collect so called ‘sensitive’ personal data, such as details about your dietary requirements or mobility for events. As soon as you indicate that you will no longer attend any events organised by Nedbank Private Wealth, the information will be deleted, and you can withdraw your consent for us to hold this information at any time.

We will retain the information collected online about you for as long as is permitted for legitimate business and regulatory purposes, or to better serve you as a client.

Information we collect automatically​

Whenever you use the website, we automatically receive and record information from your browser or mobile device, including your location, IP address, cookie information, and the page(s) you requested.

We treat this data as non-personal information, except where we are compelled to do otherwise by law or a legal authority.

We only use this data in aggregate and anonymously, and we may provide this aggregate information to our marketing service providers as to how our clients, collectively, use the website to enable better and more efficient functionality.

Forms, email requests and surveys​

In completing any of the forms on the website, we will only process the information so as to respond to your request, and we will only send you educational or marketing messages where you have given consent.

You can ask us to send you updates by post, telephone or email, or any combination of these at any time, and you can change your mind at any time to stop receiving any updates. You can do this by:

  • Replying directly to the message;
  • Clicking on the appropriate link in any email you receive; or
  • Contacting us on [email protected].

If you choose to unsubscribe, we will stop sending you those communications within a reasonable time scale. We may still, however, need to contact you for legitimate business or regulatory purposes.

It is also important to be aware that we also collect information using surveys. These are typically used to understand how Nedbank Private Wealth can improve its products and services, and we will always undertake to provide an overview of aggregated and anonymised responses to participants within a reasonable period of time. We may also use the information for promotional purposes. Please note that we would never publish any feedback or information in such a way that it could be linked to an individual or entity without express permission.

Security

We ensure we have the appropriate physical and technological security measures to protect your information, regardless of where it is held. We use a variety of hardware, software and procedural measures to ensure that any personal data is protected. These include, but are not limited to, enterprise firewalls, endpoint protection, two factor authentication, a 24/7 cyber monitoring service, annual cyber training for staff, strict access controls and a penetration testing program.

We ensure that when we outsource any processes, the supplier has appropriate security measures in place, undertake a thorough due diligence process, and contractually require them to comply with these privacy principles.

We will ensure that suitable safeguards are in place before any personal information is transferred to other countries or jurisdictions.
