InvestiVote has created the following Privacy Policy to let you know what personal information we collect, when we collect it, why we collect it and how it is used. Your privacy is very important to us. We have put in place measures to ensure that any personal information or data that we obtain from you is processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR"), the Data Protection Act 2018 and any other relevant legislation in respect of accepted principles of good information handling (the “Data Protection Laws").
We may update this policy from time to time. Please check this page regularly for notification of any significant changes in the way we treat your personal information. We will try to provide customers with reasonable advance notice of any proposed significant changes.
Where the words "InvestiVote", "we", "us" or "our" are used in this document, they are all references to InvestiVote Enterprises Limited. Where the words "you", "your", or "yours" are used in this document, they are all references to website visitors and customers.
This policy gives you information about how we treat personal information received from our customers and from visitors to our website, www.elliptic.co.
Personal information is defined as information that may be used to identify a living individual, such as their title, name, address, email address and _phone number.
Rest assured we will only collect and process your personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so. We may process your personal information if you have provided explicit consent for use to do so, if it is pursuant to a contract between us, if we have a legal obligation to do so, or where we have a legitimate interest to process it that does not materially impact your rights, freedoms or interests.
We collect personal information in the following ways.
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a secure, smooth, efficient, and customized experience.
We may use your personal information:
We store, control and process your personal information on our servers in the EU. We protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with the Data Protection Laws. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorise access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfil their job responsibilities.
While we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information, you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal information that are transferred from you or to you via the internet. Our website may contain links to other websites of our partners, suppliers, advertisers or other approved third parties. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have (or should have) their own privacy policies. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies or the way in which your personal information may be treated by these third parties. We recommend you check the privacy policy of any third party before you submit any personal information to their website.
When you are applying to use InvestiVote services, we may contact credit or identity reference agencies with information you provide to enable us to confirm your identity. We also use trusted service partners pursuant to strict data processing agreements to whom we may pass your personal information. These service partners help us operate the InvestiVote platform and provide the services. Rest assured the data processing agreements with these service partners require them to protect your personal information to the same or a higher standard than we treat it. We may be obliged to share personal information with law enforcement agencies in connection with any investigation to help prevent unlawful activity. We may also be obliged to disclose personal information to a court of law or regulator where we are under a duty to share such information to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. Apart from this, we will not rent, sell or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies without your express permission.
It is very unlikely that we will ask you to provide sensitive personal information. If we request such information, we will explain why we are requesting it and how we intend to use it.
Sensitive personal information includes information relating to your ethnic origin, your political opinions, your religious beliefs, whether you belong to a trade union, your physical or mental health or condition, your sexual life, and whether you have committed a criminal offence.
We will only collect your sensitive personal information with your explicit consent.
The InvestiVote Services assist users to comply with anti-money laundering regulations, or otherwise prevent or detect crime (such as money laundering, fraud and theft).
We use this information to determine the level of risk of a person being involved with crime or their commission or alleged commission any offence. And we inform our customers of this risk level. Customer can then deal with that person as they wish, having regard to that person's risk level.
It should be noted that if the InvestiVote Services identify a person with a high risk and that person is a customer seeking to use our services, that person may be denied access to certain services. In extreme cases, information relating to that person may be disclosed to law enforcement agencies or other agencies which seek to prevent crime or implement anti-money laundering measures.
Please note that some data processed by InvestiVote pursuant to providing the Services shall be processed by InvestiVote as a Data Processor and pursuant to a data processing agreement (which is included in InvestiVote standard Terms and Conditions). Such processing shall fall outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.
Our web site uses cookies – small text files stored on your computer – in two ways.
Most web browsers offer users controls, to give you the option to delete or disable cookies. You can usually find out how to do so by referring to the ‘Help’ option on the menu bar of your browser, or by visiting the browser developer’s website. This will usually tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies; notify you when you receive new cookies; and disable cookies altogether. Please note that disabling cookies may stop you accessing private areas of the website.
We may need to transfer your personal information to countries which are located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA"), for the purpose of providing the services to you. You may be located in a country outside of the EEA and therefore we may have no choice but to transfer your personal information outside of the EEA. Rest assured that any transfer of your personal information outside of the EEA will be subject to a GDPR-compliant guarantee (such a Model Contract Clause approved by the European Commission) that will safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a security breach.
We only keep your personal information as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was obtained. After that period, we either: (1) anonymise the data if we still wish to use it for analytical purposes, or (2) pseudonymise the data if believe in good faith that we may need to process the data in the future for a legitimate purpose, or in all other cases (3) delete it completely from our servers. Please note that this does not pertan to information for which you give us a perpetual licence.
The Data Protection Laws provide you with a number of rights in respect of entities that process your personal information. These are summarised below. Please note that you can make all requests free of charge, but it may take us up to 30 days to respond to or act on your request (or longer in some circumstances – see ‘Time Extensions and Refusals’ section below).

Except where this is a legal or regulatory right or obligation in respect of retention, InvestiVote will erase the personal information as requested.

If you would like to do this, please follow the steps in the ‘How to Exercise Your Rights’ section below and provide us with details of what personal information you would like us to restrict the processing of (e.g. where you contest the accuracy of some personal information, we shall restrict the processing of it whilst its accuracy is verified).

You can object to us processing any of your personal information. If you would like to do this, please follow the steps in the ‘How to Exercise Your Rights’ section below and provide us with details of what personal information you object to us processing.
You can request that we provide some or all of your personal information we hold to a third party free of charge. If you would like to do this, please follow the steps in the ‘How to Exercise Your Rights’ section below and provide us with sufficient details of the third-party entity to which you would like your data transferred. Assuming we can process your request, we shall provide your personal information to the requested third party in a commonly used machine-readable format.
Where we use software that automatically processes personal information for us, we shall ensure that processing using this software is fair. We shall implement all appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure inaccuracies are minimised. If you are concerned about the use of such software, you have the right to ask for more details about the processing and request that we stop using the software to process your data. If you would like to do this, please follow the steps in the ‘How to Exercise Your Rights’ section below and provide us with details of your concerns and the categories of personal information you believe are being processed by automated software.
Please note that if the automated processing is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us, if you request that the software is no longer used to process your data, we may not be able to provide you with services anymore.
If you are unhappy with the way in which we have dealt with a request you have made or you feel that we are not complying with this Privacy Policy in any way, you have the right to complain to the supervisory authority in the country in which you live. The supervisory authority in England and Wales is the Information Commissioners Office and details of how to contact them are available on their website: www.ico.org.uk.
