Personal Information and Privacy

In our dealings with you we will collect and hold personal information about you. We will use that information to carry out the Services and to contact you about issues we believe may be of interest to you and information about other services we offer. We also use that information to comply with the provisions of the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering of Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (the “AML Act”).  Provision of personal information is voluntary but if you do not provide full information this may impact on our ability to provide the Services. Subject to the exclusions mentioned above you consent to us collecting, using and disclosing your information to third parties (including credit agencies, AML Agents, your other advisors, investment brokers and government departments) to:

  • meet our obligations, and to assist your other advisors and agents to meet their obligations, under various laws, including the AML Act (including our obligation to complete due diligence and to report suspicious transactions);
  • recover any amounts you may owe us; and
  • use services provided by third parties (including customer survey and data hosting services) to send updates, and to continue providing and improving our service to you.

The information we collect and hold about you will be kept at our offices and/or at secure file storage sites (including electronic file storage sites) elsewhere. If you are an individual, you have the right to access and correct this information. If you require access, please contact our Office Manager, who will direct your enquiry to the appropriate person – hello@greenlion.co.nz.

Verification of identity

The Financial Transactions Reporting Act 1996 and the AML Act requires us to collect from you and to retain information required to verify your identity. We may therefore ask you to show us documents verifying your identity (such as a passport or driver’s licence) and your residential address (copy of a utilities bill or rates notice). Under the AML Law we are also required to verify the identity of the following people:

  • If our client is a company – the directors and shareholders (who hold more than 25% of the total issued share capital of that company);
  • If our client is a Trust – the trustees and named beneficiaries under the Trust.

We may retain copies of these documents.  We may perform such other customer verification checks as to your identity and checks as to the source of any funds associated with any transaction to which the Services relate as we consider to be required by law.
