Privacy and the Internet

Aberdeen is committed to ensuring that your personal information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect and secure your personal information.

(a) How we secure information transferring to our web server

All forms containing sensitive personal information, such as payment or bank details, are transmitted, after we authenticate your details, to the web server using a 'secure form' in which your details are encrypted using the most secure encryption level available.

You should notify us immediately if you have any reason to suspect that someone else may be using your details.

An encryption certificate can be viewed by double clicking on the padlock icon displayed within the web browser window when you are on a secure page.

(b) How we hold your personal information on our web server

In most cases your personal information is passed immediately to our customer service centre without any personal information being stored on the web server at all.

Where it is necessary to store personal information temporarily, any sensitive personal information is securely encrypted and stored away from publicly-accessible areas of our web server.

(c) How we transmit your personal information to our customer service centre

Once we have received your personal information, the web server, located in a secure area of the network, immediately passes your personal information through an additional firewall into an application server and onto a server to allow us to execute your order within the customer service centre. The personal information is itself protected so that only authorised staff can access the personal information.

Personal information and marketing purposes

If you want Aberdeen to not use or cease using your personal information for marketing purposes, please contact our Data Protection Officer on dataprotectionofficer@aberdeen-asset.com.

Changes to the Policy

Please be aware that this Policy may be updated at any time. As such, please ensure that you regularly read the latest version of this page.

Questions

If you have any questions or complaints relating to the Policy or how we use the personal information we have about you, please contact our Data Protection Officer on dataprotectionofficer@aberdeen-asset.com. who will try to respond to you promptly.

Working with brands, publishers and websites, use third-party cookies to make advertising more engaging and relevant to users and more valuable to publishers and advertisers.

Privacy and the Internet

Aberdeen is committed to ensuring that your personal information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect and secure your personal information.

(a) How we secure information transferring to our web server

All forms containing sensitive personal information, such as payment or bank details, are transmitted, after we authenticate your details, to the web server using a 'secure form' in which your details are encrypted using the most secure encryption level available.

You should notify us immediately if you have any reason to suspect that someone else may be using your details.

An encryption certificate can be viewed by double clicking on the padlock icon displayed within the web browser window when you are on a secure page.

(b) How we hold your personal information on our web server

In most cases your personal information is passed immediately to our customer service centre without any personal information being stored on the web server at all.

Where it is necessary to store personal information temporarily, any sensitive personal information is securely encrypted and stored away from publicly-accessible areas of our web server.

(c) How we transmit your personal information to our customer service centre

Once we have received your personal information, the web server, located in a secure area of the network, immediately passes your personal information through an additional firewall into an application server and onto a server to allow us to execute your order within the customer service centre. The personal information is itself protected so that only authorised staff can access the personal information.

Privacy and the Internet

Aberdeen is committed to ensuring that your personal information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect and secure your personal information.

(a) How we secure information transferring to our web server

All forms containing sensitive personal information, such as payment or bank details, are transmitted, after we authenticate your details, to the web server using a 'secure form' in which your details are encrypted using the most secure encryption level available.

You should notify us immediately if you have any reason to suspect that someone else may be using your details.

Where it is necessary to store personal information temporarily, any sensitive personal information is securely encrypted and stored away from publicly-accessible areas of our web server.

(c) How we transmit your personal information to our customer service centre

Once we have received your personal information, the web server, located in a secure area of the network, immediately passes your personal information through an additional firewall into an application server and onto a server to allow us to execute your order within the customer service centre.

3rd party cookies adnxs.com anj The term “third-party” indicates that rather than having a direct relationship with a user, a company has a relationship with one or more of the websites that a user visits. For example, if a user visits aberdeen-asset.com directly, that website is the “first party.” If aberdeen-asset.com partners with an advertising network, platform, or exchange to place ads, the network, platform, or exchange is the “third party.” The advertising network uses cookies when the user visits aberdeen-asset.com to help it select and serve the best ad. These cookies are considered “third-party cookies.” First parties partner with third parties in this way because third parties have technology and expertise to enable more efficient ad placement across websites. Working with brands, publishers and websites, use third-party cookies to make advertising more engaging and relevant to users and more valuable to publishers and advertisers.

Privacy and the Internet

Aberdeen is committed to ensuring that your personal information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect and secure your personal information.

(a) How we secure information transferring to our web server

All forms containing sensitive personal information, such as payment or bank details, are transmitted, after we authenticate your details, to the web server using a 'secure form' in which your details are encrypted using the most secure encryption level available.

You should notify us immediately if you have any reason to suspect that someone else may be using your details.

An encryption certificate can be viewed by double clicking on the padlock icon displayed within the web browser window when you are on a secure page.

(b) How we hold your personal information on our web server

In most cases your personal information is passed immediately to our customer service centre without any personal information being stored on the web server at all.

Where it is necessary to store personal information temporarily, any sensitive personal information is securely encrypted and stored away from publicly-accessible areas of our web server.

(c) How we transmit your personal information to our customer service centre

Once we have received your personal information, the web server, located in a secure area of the network, immediately passes your personal information through an additional firewall into an application server and onto a server to allow us to execute your order within the customer service centre. The personal information is itself protected so that only authorised staff can access the personal information.

Personal information and marketing purposes

If you want Aberdeen to not use or cease using your personal information for marketing purposes, please contact our Data Protection Officer on dataprotectionofficer@aberdeen-asset.com.

Changes to the Policy

Please be aware that this Policy may be updated at any time. As such, please ensure that you regularly read the latest version of this page.

Questions

If you have any questions or complaints relating to the Policy or how we use the personal information we have about you, please contact our Data Protection Officer on dataprotectionofficer@aberdeen-asset.com. who will try to respond to you promptly.
