Data Protection - Individual Investors

Data is processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, under which both Artemis companies are registered as Data Controllers in relation to any personal data you supply.

Users who do not register may visit this website without revealing any personal data, other than our logging of your IP address and session information, such as the duration of the visit to the site and the nature of the browser used. An IP address is a unique number that identifies your PC whilst you are connected to the internet. IP addressees are not linked to personally identifiable information.

We only collate such electronic data to monitor the effectiveness of our site, and to ensure that we are continuing to provide useful, relevant and informative content. The site tracking mechanism is fully automated and collects data that relates to the number of visitors, time of day, duration of visits and which pages have been viewed.

We may also collect personal information from you from time to time, to allow us to offer you further opportunities available through this website, at your request. We process your information in order to notify you of products and services, and to carry out business related activities upon your instruction. Subject to the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulation 2003 we will not e-mail you unless we have your prior consent, and will provide an opportunity to opt-out of future e-mails with each message.

Under the Data Protection Act 1998 you have the right to apply for a copy of information held by us about you, as well as to have any of your information updated or corrected. In the first instance you should contact investorsupport@artemisfunds.com. If you have any queries about our data protection policy, please write to Data Protection Officer, Artemis Investment Management Limited, 42 Melville Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7HA

Data Protection - IFAs and Professional Advisers Only

IFAs and other Professional Advisers who register on the site are required to provide personal information. We request this information to ensure that only authorised IFAs and other Professional Advisers are able to log on, and to find out what sort of material is most beneficial to each user. The personal information collected via the IFA registration form may be passed on to Artemis' Broker Support services in order to keep you informed of any marketing or sales activity. We also collect information automatically about your visit to the website to allow us to monitor user preferences and to assist in making improvements to the site. We will use this information to contact you about products or services which may be of interest.

We may also pass the information on to partner fund management groups whom we work alongside from time to time when planning marketing and sales initiatives, such as joint roadshows. You are able to indicate that you prefer not to have your information forwarded by emailing brokersupport@artemisfunds.com.
