Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes how Securities-Backed Lending collects, uses, and protects personal data submitted through this website. It is to be read in conjunction with the Terms of Use and the Disclosures.

1. Data we collect

The firm collects personal data submitted by the visitor through the quote-request form on the Contact page — typically: name, email address, role or capacity, entity name (optional), listing market, ticker(s), indicative position size, and a free-text description of the requirement. The firm also collects personal data submitted by direct email to [email protected] or by other written channels.

The firm does not deploy advertising trackers, third-party analytics that aggregate cross-site behaviour, or session-recording tools. The website may use minimal first-party cookies strictly necessary for the operation of the site (e.g. preserving the mobile-navigation drawer state) and does not require consent for such cookies under applicable law.

2. How we use the data

Personal data submitted by the visitor is used solely to respond to the enquiry — to assess the contemplated transaction at a preliminary level, to issue indicative terms if appropriate, and to facilitate any further engagement that follows. The data is not sold, leased, or otherwise made available to third parties for marketing purposes. The data is shared with third parties only where required to provide the service requested (e.g. with a custodian, a counterparty lender, or counsel engaged on the transaction), and only with the visitor’s knowledge.

3. Lawful basis

Where the firm is subject to a data-protection regime requiring a lawful basis for processing (such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation or the UK GDPR), the firm processes personal data on the basis that the processing is necessary to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract, and on the basis of the firm’s legitimate interest in evaluating the contemplated transaction. Where required by law, the firm will obtain consent for additional processing.

4. Retention

The firm retains personal data submitted through the quote-request form for as long as is reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry and to maintain records of any subsequent engagement. Records relating to engagements that did not result in a transaction are retained for a reasonable period to permit follow-up; records relating to consummated transactions are retained in accordance with the firm’s record-keeping obligations under applicable law.

5. Data subject rights

Subject to applicable law, the visitor has the right to request access to the personal data the firm holds about them, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request erasure of data no longer required, and to lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority. Requests should be addressed to [email protected].

6. Security

The firm maintains reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No system is impenetrable; the firm cannot guarantee absolute security and does not warrant the security of any data transmitted to it over the public internet.

7. Changes to this notice

The firm may amend this Privacy Notice from time to time. Amendments take effect when published on this page. The date of last modification is shown in the page metadata.
