Where information about you is supplied by another person, we will handle that information in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

We may use personal information to:

We will not use your personal information for purposes incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy unless permitted or required by law.
05 — OUR LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information. The appropriate basis depends upon the particular processing activity.
We may rely on:
Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of Aureus Assests Ltd or, where appropriate, another party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. These interests may include assessing membership applications, maintaining the integrity and security of the Club, communicating with applicants and operating a private membership network.
Contract — where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform our contractual obligations to you.
Legal obligation — where we need to process information to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Consent — where we specifically ask you for consent for a particular processing activity. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent in accordance with applicable law.
Where we rely upon legitimate interests, we consider the necessity and proportionality of the processing and its potential effect on your rights.
06 — MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS
Membership of Aureus Club is considered individually.
When you request an invitation or submit a membership application, we may use the information you provide to assess your application, understand your relationship with and suitability for the Club, consider your residence, verify information provided, conduct appropriate due diligence, communicate with you, arrange a private or Founder Conversation and decide whether to extend an invitation to membership.
Submission of an application does not guarantee membership.
Information contained within an application will be handled with appropriate care and access should be limited to those who reasonably require it for the application and membership process.
We may retain a record of an application after a decision has been made where reasonably necessary for record keeping, security, handling future applications, resolving disputes or protecting the legitimate interests of Aureus Club and its members.
07 — RESIDENCE INFORMATION
Aureus Club may process information relating to residences provided by prospective or existing members.
This may include location, residence type, approximate value, ownership or authority information and information necessary to administer access within the network.
We recognise that information concerning private residences can be particularly sensitive from a privacy and security perspective.
Residence information will not be treated as a public property listing simply because it has been supplied to Aureus Club.
Where residence information is made available within the Aureus network, we will seek to limit access to an appropriate audience and use reasonable measures designed to protect the privacy and security of members and their residences.
08 — SHARING YOUR INFORMATION
Aureus Club does not sell your personal information.
We may share information where reasonably necessary with:
Service providers that support our website, technology, communications, hosting, administration, professional services or business operations.
Professional advisers, including accountants, legal advisers, consultants and other professional service providers where necessary.
Verification or due-diligence providers where appropriate in connection with membership or security.
Aureus members or approved partners where an introduction or service has been requested, authorised or is otherwise appropriate within the operation of the Club.
Authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law, regulation, court order or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
We seek to limit disclosure to information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
09 — INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Aureus Club operates with an international outlook and may work with members, residences, partners and service providers in different countries.
As a result, personal information may in some circumstances be processed outside the United Kingdom.
Where a transfer constitutes a restricted international transfer under UK data protection law, Aureus Assests Ltd will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is permitted, which may include reliance on UK adequacy regulations, appropriate contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism.
You may contact us for further information about safeguards relevant to your personal information.
10 — HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, security, contractual and legitimate business requirements.
Retention periods may vary according to the nature and sensitivity of the information, whether you become a member, the status of a membership application, the nature of our relationship with you, legal or regulatory requirements, potential or actual disputes and security requirements associated with operating a private membership network.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we will take appropriate steps to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.
11 — SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Trust and discretion are central to Aureus Club.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Access to personal information should be limited to people and service providers who reasonably require access for legitimate business purposes.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12 — YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:
• request access to personal information we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances;
• request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
• object to certain processing;
• receive certain personal information in a portable format where the right to data portability applies;
• withdraw consent where processing is based upon consent; and
• raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”).
These rights are not absolute and may depend upon the circumstances and the lawful basis on which information is processed.

We may need to verify your identity before acting upon a request.
You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you have concerns about how your personal information has been handled.
13 — COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as operating the website, maintaining security, remembering preferences, understanding website performance and, where applicable, analytics.
Where consent is required, you should be given an appropriate choice before the relevant non-essential technology is activated.
Further information about the technologies used on our website may be provided through our cookie settings or Cookie Policy.
14 — MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Where permitted by law, we may contact you concerning Aureus Club and matters relevant to your relationship with us.
Where consent is required for electronic marketing, we will seek the appropriate consent.
You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time.
Choosing not to receive marketing communications will not prevent us from sending service, application, membership, security or other non-marketing communications where appropriate.
15 — THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
Those organisations may process personal information according to their own privacy policies and practices.
Aureus Assests Ltd is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites merely because our website contains a link to them.
We recommend reviewing the relevant privacy information before providing personal information to another organisation.
