and how you use our website. In some cases, the ‘sensitive’ or ‘special categories’ of personal
information that we collect may include information collected as part of KYC and anti-money laundering
checks that we must conduct before accepting you as a customer.
In some rare circumstances, we will also gather other ‘special categories’ of personal information about
you because you volunteer that data to us (for example, it appears in a copy of your resume/CV that you
upload to our website). In some other circumstances, the personal information we collect from you is
needed to meet our legal or regulatory obligations or to provide you with the products or services
requested by you.
In some cases, we may also collect personal information about you indirectly from third parties including
