2. What Does This Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to your use of Our Sites and to the other ways in which you interact with us listed in Part 1. Our Sites may contain links to other websites. Please note that we have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by other websites, and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites before providing any data to them.
3. What Is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (each as amended, including by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025) (collectively, “the Data Protection Legislation”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
4. What Are My Rights?
Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
- The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 14.
- The right to access the personal data we hold about you. Part 12 will tell you how to do this.
- The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us using the details in Part 14 to find out more.
- The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we hold. Please contact us using the details in Part 14 to find out more.
- The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.
- The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes, including direct marketing (which includes any profiling related to direct marketing) and processing based on our legitimate interests.
- The right to withdraw consent. This means that, if we are relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.
- The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
- Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We use limited profiling to tailor our marketing and to help prioritise enquiries (see Parts 6 and 6A). We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you based solely on automated processing. If that changes, we will tell you, and you will be able to make representations, obtain human intervention and contest the decision.
For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 14.
It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data.
Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. Assets For Life LTD is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, with registration number ZA280607. We would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves; however, please contact us first, using the details in Part 14. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days of receiving it, investigate it, and tell you the outcome without undue delay.

We will always obtain your express opt-in consent before sharing your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes, and you will be able to opt out at any time.
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party, including an affiliated company), by which we mean in the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business, to enable us to give you the best service and best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests.

6A. How Do You Use Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
We use AI Tools, provided by carefully selected third-party service providers, to help us respond to you quickly and to deliver and improve our services. In particular:
- Call transcription and analysis: recorded calls may be transcribed and summarised by AI Tools to support training, quality assurance, customer service, compliance and record-keeping.
- Messaging assistants: some WhatsApp and website chat conversations are handled in the first instance by an AI assistant, which can answer common questions, share information about our events and programmes, and pass your enquiry to the right member of our team. We will tell you when you are communicating with an AI assistant, and you can ask to speak to a person at any time.
- Enquiry management: we may use AI Tools and automated rules to organise and prioritise enquiries so that our team can follow up promptly. A member of our team always makes any decision about your eligibility for, or enrolment on, our programmes.
- Internal productivity: our team may use business-grade AI assistants to help draft communications, analyse information and prepare documents. We only use AI services that are subject to contractual data protection commitments.
How we protect your data: our AI Tools are provided under written data processing agreements, and our providers may only process your personal data on our instructions. We do not permit our providers to use your personal data to train their publicly available AI models. AI-generated outputs (such as call summaries) can contain errors, so our team does not rely on them alone for decisions that affect you.
Your rights: you can object to our use of AI Tools in relation to your personal data, ask for a person to review any outcome, and request a copy of any transcripts or AI-generated notes we hold about you, using the details in Part 14.

8. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?
We store some or all of your personal data in countries outside of the UK. These are known as “third countries”. We will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the Data Protection Legislation, as follows:
Where we transfer personal data outside the UK, including to service providers in the United States, we ensure that an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as: (a) transfers to countries covered by UK adequacy regulations, including to US organisations certified under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; or (b) the International Data Transfer Agreement or the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Please contact us using the details below in Part 14 for further information about the particular data protection safeguards used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country.
The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:
- limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality;
- requiring our service providers, including providers of AI Tools, to process personal data only on our documented instructions and under written data processing agreements; and
- procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data), including notifying you and/or the Information Commissioner’s Office where we are legally required to do so.
9. Do You Share My Personal Data?
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only in the circumstances described below.
Service providers. We use trusted third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf, under contract and only on our instructions. These include providers of: customer relationship management (CRM) and email marketing; telephony, call recording and call transcription; WhatsApp and website messaging, including AI assistants; payment processing; online learning platforms; video conferencing and event management; and website hosting and analytics. A list of our key service providers is available on request using the details in Part 14.
Business partners. [Where you are referred to, or enrol on a programme delivered with, one of our business partners, we will share the personal data needed for that purpose and will tell you at the time.]
If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new owner of our business may continue to use your personal data in the same way(s) that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy Policy.
In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.
10. How Can I Control My Personal Data?
In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, set out in Part 4, when you submit personal data via Our Sites, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us, which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails at the point of providing your details). You can opt out of WhatsApp or text messages by replying “STOP”, and you can ask to speak to a member of our team instead of our AI assistant at any time.
You may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service (“the TPS”), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (“the CTPS”), and the Mailing Preference Service (“the MPS”). These may help prevent you from receiving unsolicited marketing. Please note, however, that these services will not prevent you from receiving marketing communications that you have consented to receiving.
11. Can I Withhold Information?
You may access certain areas of Our Sites without providing any personal data at all. However, to use all features and functions available on Our Sites, you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.
You may restrict our use of Cookies. For more information, see Part 13.
12. How Can I Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”. This includes any call recordings, transcripts, chat records and AI-generated notes we hold about you.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 14. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.
There is normally no charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests), a fee of £50.00 may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it. We will carry out a reasonable and proportionate search for the personal data you have requested. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data, within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required, up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
