Our Commitment to Data Privacy

Protecting the privacy of individuals who provide us with Personal Data (as defined below) is very important to Bridging Shares International Limited (“Bridging Shares”, “we”, “our”, us) and to the way we do business. You have shown your trust in us by interacting with www.Bridging Shares.com and we value that trust.
To this end, we are committed to respecting local data privacy legislations (together “Applicable Laws”), in particular,

1. the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018,

2. the Data Protection (Jersey) Law, 2018 and the Data Protection Authority (Jersey) Law, 2018 (together the “DPL”),

3. the (EU) 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of persons with regard to the processing of personal data (“the GDPR”).


General Provisions

This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") describes how we collect, use, store, share and protect your Personal Data when you use the Websites. The term "Personal Data" used in this Policy, refer to the term defined in Article 4 of the GDPR.

This Policy applies when you ("you", "Client", "User", “Visitor”) access, visit or use any portion of the Websites. Please read this Policy carefully. For more detailed information on how we use cookies on the Websites, please see our Cookie Policy.


Data Protection Officers

When you are using the Website, we are the Personal Data Controller. This means that we determine the purposes and means by which your data is processed. “Controller”, “Joint controller” or “Processor”, used in this Policy, refer to the terms defined in Article 4 of the GDPR.

Pursuant to Article 37 of the GDPR, we are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer at the group level for all our entities, although we understand the importance of ensuring good governance of this system. We have, however, appointed a Data Protection Officer for our Jersey operations who can be contacted at privacy{{ config('app.website_name') }}.com.

In addition, we have appointed our Compliance Function with the duty to ensure that our processing operations comply with this Policy and, more generally, with the Applicable Laws. The Compliance Function will endeavour to answer any questions or requests in relation to the processing of your data, your rights, and our Policy. However, the Compliance Function is not the same as a Data Protection Officer.


What happens if you do not provide your Personal Data?

The provision of your Personal Data may be:

necessary to enter a contract with us (e.g., due diligence documents and financial data), but not mandatory as you could refuse to provide it. In that case, it will however expose yourself to the risk of seeing the benefit of a contract taken away from you;

necessary, for us to be able to answer your question (e.g., when you reach out to our Customer Support and provide identification data), or solve your issue (e.g. while making a complaint). In that case, failure to provide such Personal Data could prevent us from handling these matters effectively;

not mandatory (e.g., non-necessary cookies and tracking technologies), as it is only based on your consent. If you refuse to provide some of these personal data, it could however prevent us from offering the best user experience of our Websites.
