We generally collect personal information directly from the individual.

When we are provided with personal information from a third party, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is or has been made aware of the matters set out in this Privacy Policy.

Halal Wealth Partners will not collect sensitive information unless the individual has consented or an exemption under the APPs applies. These exceptions include if the collection is required or authorised by law or is necessary to take appropriate action in relation to suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct.

If the personal information we request is not provided by an individual, we may not be able to provide the individual with the benefit of our services, or meet their needs appropriately.

Halal Wealth Partners does not give individuals the option of dealing with them anonymously, or under a pseudonym, as Halal Wealth Partners is required to identify all investing clients under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act 2006.

However, there are circumstances in which Halal Wealth Partners cannot take action without certain of your personal data, for example because this personal data is required to process your orders, provide you with access to a web offering or newsletter or to carry out a legally required compliance screening.
