Privacy Principles & Policy
This Client Privacy Policy guides our approach in the collection, use, security, and disclosure of clients’ financial information. It outlines the responsibilities we assume as representatives of iCatalyst Capital Distribution Services LLP ("iCatalyst Capital") and the expectations we have of our business partners.

Purpose of Information Collection
We limit the collection of information to what is needed to manage our relationship with clients, enhance our client services, offer relevant investment products, and comply with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements. We inform clients about the general purposes of the information collected, and we provide additional explanations upon request. Written consent is obtained from clients before collecting their information.
Client Choices
Clients have options on how their information will be used. When necessary to provide investment-related services, we may share client information with carefully chosen investment product manufacturers, vendors, and business partners who can provide additional value to iCatalyst Capital clients. Before collecting information, we offer clients the option to withhold certain data. Clients also retain the right to withdraw previously provided consent by sending written notice to iCatalyst Capital.
Information Security Safeguards
Access to client information systems is restricted to those who need it to fulfill their business responsibilities and meet our client servicing commitments. We employ safeguards designed to maintain the confidentiality and security of client information.
Limiting Disclosure
We do not disclose client information unless authorized by the client, required to comply with legal obligations, or in efforts to prevent fraud or criminal activity. Client information is disclosed to third parties only as required by law, routed through the Compliance function. iCatalyst Capital may transfer client information to other entities that meet our standards of data protection, as necessary for lawful contract performance or with client consent.
