Privacy Policy

We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy: https://www.taxtoolstaging.wpengine.com/privacy. By using the Site, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms of Use. Please be advised the Site is hosted in the United Kingdom. If you access the Site from any other region of the world with laws or other requirements governing personal data collection, use, or disclosure that differ from applicable laws in the United Kingdom, then through your continued use of the Site, you are transferring your data to the United Kingdom, and you agree to have your data transferred to and processed in the United Kingdom. If you transfer personally identifiable information (‘PII’) of individuals that are your employees or customers (“data subjects”) to the Site, we are entitled to assume that you have the explicit consent of your customers for such transfer in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation.

Investor Self Declaration

One of the tools within the Tax Compliance Toolkit is a digital Investor Self Declaration (‘ISD’) platform.

If you elect to use the ISD system you will be provided with a unique url link that you can provide to your customers. When your customers use the ISD system, they will create an electronically signed investor self declaration that serves as a substitute of one or more of (1) the US forms in the W-8 series, (2) the US form W-9, (3) substitute investor self declarations compliant with the OECD Common Reporting Standard and (4) the OECD Tax Relief and Compliance Enhancement Implementation Protocol (‘TRACE IP’).

You are acting in the capacity of Data Controller. You have, by means of the url link to the Investor Self Declaration (‘ISD’) site, instructed your client or prospective client ( the ‘Data Subject’) to provide us with personally identifiable information (PII).

We act in the capacity of Data Processor to receive, store and process PII on your behalf for the purpose of facilitating your obligations under various tax laws, regulations and to other third parties (also Data Processors) with whom you have a contractual relationship.

The Data Subject’s PII will be stored on computer servers in the United Kingdom over which we have control.

Following electronic signature of an ISD by a Data Subject, we will send you a copy of the signed ISD in portable document format (.pdf) by a transmission method to be determined by you. In the absence of a specific transmission method being nominated by you (and for which an additional payment may be required), you agree to receive pdfs of ISDs by email.

The Tax Compliance Toolkit (TCT KYC Dashboard), provides to with a means by which you can manage your obligation to verify and validate that the PII provided by the Data Subject conforms to other PII held by you under Know Your Customer (‘KYC’) and Anti Money Laundering (‘AML’) regulations. The results of this validation process will be stored in the TCT Due Diligence Dashboard. Neither the KYC Dashboard or the Due Diligence dashboard, nor any other part of TCT will store any PII of a Data Subject at any time.

You authorise us to provide (export) selected information (‘Standing Instruction’) about the Data Subject, only after you have validated the PII, to a third party Data Processor (data importer) to enable you to meet your contractual obligations to that party. The Data Subject will be required to acknowledge this possibility when using the ISD site.

We will retain an encrypted copy of the ISD for a period not to exceed four years from the end of the year in which it  was signed for the sole purpose of providing you with evidence of the information on the form on the date and at the time it was first signed. At the end of that period we will delete the data Subject’s PII.

You remain responsible to the fullest extent permissible by law, for the PII of the Data Subject and for the activities of Data Processors who act on your behalf.

By using the ISD and issuing urls to your customers, you agree to accept ISDs as conforming substitutes, in electronic form, with electronic signatures of the relevant tax forms for the purpose of you determining the tax status of an account holder or prospective account holder. You accept the certification text on each ISD as meeting the relevant regulatory requirements.
