We do not run advertising cookies.

We process personal information to respond to enquiries, to administer client mandates and their reporting, to meet regulatory, tax, and anti-money-laundering obligations, and to operate and secure this site and the client portal. Our lawful bases are contractual necessity, legitimate interests, and legal obligation. We do not use personal information for automated decision-making.

We share personal information only with (a) our custodian and banking counterparties where instructions require it; (b) our auditors, tax advisers, and legal counsel under professional duties of confidentiality; (c) regulators and tax authorities where required by law; and (d) cloud-infrastructure suppliers that host this site.

Where personal information is transferred across borders, we rely on adequacy or recognition determinations, or on standard contractual clauses with a documented transfer risk assessment on file.

We retain client records for the minimum periods required by applicable regulation and tax law (typically five to seven years from the end of the client relationship). Enquiry correspondence that does not lead to onboarding is deleted within twenty-four months.

You have rights of access, correction, deletion, and objection in respect of your personal information, subject to legal and regulatory retention requirements. To exercise them, contact dpo@parity-investments.com. We will respond within the period required by applicable law (no later than thirty days).

Complaints about how we handle personal information may be raised with the Information Regulator of South Africa, under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
