  • from third parties who perform services on our behalf, such as our registrars who assist us with maintenance of our share registers and with the conduct of our general meetings. 

How we use your information  

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances: 

  • Where we need to comply with a contractual obligation (e.g. communicating with you in accordance with the provisions set out in our Articles of Association); 
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation (such as maintaining and administering the Company’s register of members or maintaining and administering a register of beneficial ownership); 
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests (such as preventing, investigating or detecting theft, fraud or other criminal activity). 

Do we need your consent?  

We do not need your consent if we use special categories of your personal information in accordance with our written policy to carry out our legal obligations. In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain data. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the information that we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent.  

What are our obligations to collect and your obligations to provide personal data?  

We have legal obligations to collect and process certain personal data about you, for example to record your details in our statutory register of members, to pay you amounts due on your shares, to enable you to exercise your rights attached to shares and to send you certain information. You may also have legal obligations to provide us with certain information about you, for example where we make a statutory demand to ascertain the beneficial ownership of shares. 

If you fail to provide certain information when requested to enable us to comply with our legal obligations, you may not be recognised as a shareholder of Celebrus Technologies plc and/or you may not be entitled to exercise or enjoy your rights attaching to your shares in Celebrus Technologies plc and/or we may not be able to fulfill our other obligations to you.  

Sharing your personal data  

Your information will be shared with third parties where we are legally obliged to do so, for example with government bodies and regulatory agencies and with the courts and parties to legal proceedings pursuant to court rules and orders. 

We may share your personal data with subsidiaries of Celebrus Technologies plc, for example where they assist us in complying with our legal obligations to you and/or managing our relationship with you. 

We may also share your personal data with third party suppliers and service providers to Celebrus Technologies plc and its subsidiaries, for example professional advisors and third parties who are used by us to perform processing activities, such as our registrars.  

For how long will we process your personal data?  

We will process your personal data for as long as you hold shares in Celebrus Technologies plc and will continue to retain your data after you cease to be a shareholder in Celebrus Technologies plc for as long as is necessary to comply with our obligations under applicable law and, if relevant, to deal with any claim or dispute that might arise in connection with your shareholding.  

What rights do you have in relation to your personal data?

  • Request access to your personal information. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. 
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected. 
  • Request deletion of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. 
  • You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). 
  • Object to the processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. 
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it. 
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
