Website Privacy Notice | Bellrockgroup

WHAT DOES THIS WEBSITE PRIVACY NOTICE DO AND DOES IT APPLY TO ME?

Many countries have data protection laws that protect the privacy of individuals by regulating the way in which businesses handle personal information. Among other things, data protection laws require businesses that handle personal information to be open and transparent about why and how they handle personal information.

The purpose of this Website Privacy Notice is to inform you why and how Bell Rock Group ("we" or "us") handles personal information about visitors to the website at https://www.bellrockgroup.com/ ("our website"). This Website Privacy Notice will apply to you if you visit any part of our website but otherwise it will not apply to you.

Our website is owned and operated by Bell Rock Group Financial Services Limited ("Bell rock"), for its own benefit and for the benefit of all members of Bell Rock. The registered office of Bell Rock is Centennial Towers, 205c, 2454 West Bay Road, Grand Cayman KY1-1303, Cayman Islands.

Please note that Bell Rock is subject to the Cayman Islands’ Data Protection Act (As Revised), but it is not subject to privacy laws of jurisdictions outside the Cayman Islands.

WHAT SORT OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES BELLROCKGROUP.COM COLLECT?
The types of personal information which we collect through our website will vary depending on how the visitors interact with our website, but they can be grouped into the following categories:

User authentication details. Some parts of our website are only accessible by registered users. If you become a registered user, we will also hold the log-in details you use to access restricted parts of our website.
Connection details. Technical information relating to the connection between our website and the computer or other device you use to access our website, such as the type and version of Internet browser you are using, the IP address from which you connect to our website, date / time you connected to (or disconnected from) our website, etc.
Website usage.

Marketing preference. Any preference as to marketing communication you indicate to us, for example whether or not you wish to receive marketing communication from us, what parts of our businesses or which particular issues and topics are of interest to you, etc.

We do not normally collect personal information which constitutes so-called 'sensitive personal data' through our website, but we may do so occasionally, for example where we receive a job application containing a declaration of criminal record or response to diversity questionnaire, or where delegates attending an event we are hosting ask us to make adjustment to address food allergies or disabilities.
It is our position that the bulk of the information concerning visitors to our website do not constitute information that are legally protected under data protection laws.

Therefore, if you remain a passive, unregistered visitor to our website who does not make use of any of the interactive features of our website (e.g. online forms or social media plug-ins), it is unlikely that we will be able to specifically identify you from any other information concerning your use of our website we might be holding.
