Privacy Policy

Convina is licensed by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius as a management company. As part of our licensing conditions and in order to fulfil our legal and regulatory requirements in Mauritius, we need to undertake “Customer Due Diligence” on our clients in their capacity as principals of entities to which Convina provides/shall provide services. All information provided to us is strictly confidential and is not disclosed or revealed to any person or party whatsoever, unless we are legally required to do so by a regulatory body or a court of competent jurisdiction in Mauritius or abroad, or unless we have your express consent to disclose/transfer your personal information in the context of providing services to you.

When providing services to you and in complying with laws and regulations in place in Mauritius and internationally (to the extent applicable), Convina is required to collect information on you, your family and business associates such as (but not limited to) your names, addresses, email addresses, contact numbers, details on identification documents, employment details and information on your wealth and the funds that will be subject to our client relationship.

For purposes of the DPA, Convina is a ‘Controller’ and handles your personal data accordingly.

We collect information from you when:

• We commence our Customer Due Diligence procedures before we accept you as our client,
• We enter into an agreement with you to provide services,

In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Under the DPA you may enquire about and request for copies of any personal information we hold on you.
