To the extent that we disclose personal data to approved third parties, we will request that they properly protect the security and confidentiality of such information and otherwise process such data in accordance with applicable law.

We will not disclose or transfer Personal Data to third parties for the purposes of marketing.

dVAM will, however, disclose information when required to do so: (1) by a court order; (2) by any regulatory authority and the regulators they appoint for the various financial sectors; (3) in order to comply with dVAM’s legal and regulatory obligations in terms of any legislation or regulation applicable to dVAM and its business dealings (including fraud prevention and anti-money laundering); (4) in order to exercise, protect and defend dVAM's rights and property (including dVAM’s intellectual property); (5) in order to conduct required credit or background checks; (6) on the reasonable request of a fund in which you have invested; and (7) in the public interest.

You further acknowledge that we may disclose your personal information within the deVere Group and you expressly consent to this.

Monitoring the Site
We gather and analyse information on our visitors' routine visits to this Site. We use this information to monitor which areas of the Site are most frequently visited in order to assist us to continue developing a value-added service.

Use of IP Address
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to a computer whenever it is connected to the Internet. We log IP addresses or the location of computers on the Internet.
