GDPR Compliance

Last updated: 7 April 2026

Our Commitment to GDPR

SurreymontePro is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018. This page outlines how we comply with these regulations and respect your data rights.

Data Controller Information

For the purposes of data protection legislation, SurreymontePro is the data controller responsible for your personal information.

Data Controller: SurreymontePro Financial Education Services
Address: 42 High Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 3DY, United Kingdom
Email: [email protected]

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. Our processing activities rely on the following legal grounds:

Contractual Necessity

We process your personal and financial information to deliver the educational services you have purchased from us. This includes developing personalised financial strategies, conducting consultations, and providing ongoing support throughout your programme.

Legitimate Interests

We process certain data to pursue legitimate business interests, provided these interests do not override your rights. Examples include:

  • Improving our services based on client feedback and outcomes
  • Conducting internal research to enhance educational effectiveness
  • Maintaining records for quality assurance
  • Protecting against fraud or misuse of our services

Consent

For certain processing activities, we rely on your explicit consent, including:

  • Sending marketing communications about our services
  • Using cookies for analytics purposes beyond essential functionality
  • Sharing testimonials or case studies that include your information

You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing conducted before withdrawal.

Legal Obligations

We process and retain certain information when required by UK law, such as financial record-keeping requirements or responding to lawful requests from authorities.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have comprehensive rights regarding your personal data. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights.

Right of Access

You have the right to obtain confirmation that we process your data and to receive a copy of that data. We will provide this information in a commonly used electronic format within 30 days of your request.

Right to Rectification

If your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will update your records promptly upon verification of the correct information.

Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected
  • You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
  • You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
  • The data has been unlawfully processed

This right is not absolute. We may need to retain certain information to comply with legal obligations or establish legal claims.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your data in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing. During restriction, we will store your data but not actively process it without your consent.

Right to Data Portability

For data you provided to us based on consent or contract, you have the right to receive that information in a structured, commonly used format. You may also request direct transfer to another service provider where technically feasible.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease such processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant impacts on individuals. Our financial education services involve human review and personalised analysis.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your data protection rights, please contact us at [email protected]. Your request should include:

  • Your full name and contact information
  • Clear description of which right you wish to exercise
  • Any relevant details to help us locate your information
  • Proof of identity if we reasonably require it

We will respond to your request within 30 days. If your request is complex or we receive multiple requests, we may extend this period by up to 60 additional days, but we will notify you of any extension and explain the reasons.

We do not charge a fee for processing most requests. However, we may charge a reasonable administrative fee or refuse to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data where appropriate
  • Systems designed to ensure ongoing confidentiality and integrity
  • Ability to restore data availability following incidents
  • Regular testing and evaluation of security effectiveness
  • Staff training on data protection obligations
  • Confidentiality agreements with all personnel handling data

Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay. Our notification will include:

  • Description of the nature of the breach
  • Likely consequences of the breach
  • Measures taken or proposed to address the breach
  • Recommended actions you should take to protect yourself

We will also notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of a qualifying breach.

Third-Party Processors

When we engage third-party service providers to process data on our behalf, we ensure they comply with GDPR requirements. We establish data processing agreements that:

  • Define the scope, purpose, and duration of processing
  • Require appropriate security measures
  • Prohibit processing for any purpose other than our instructions
  • Ensure deletion or return of data after service completion
  • Require assistance with data subject requests

International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process your data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer personal data outside the UK or European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

  • Transfer to countries recognised as providing adequate protection
  • Use of standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities
  • Implementation of supplementary measures where necessary

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Our retention periods are based on:

  • The nature of the data and sensitivity level
  • Risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure
  • Purposes of processing and ability to achieve them through other means
  • Applicable legal and regulatory requirements

When data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it.

Children's Data

Our services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly process personal data of children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it promptly.

Complaints and Supervisory Authority

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with UK GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:

Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire SK9 5AF
United Kingdom
