What does this Privacy Notice apply to?
This Privacy Notice applies to the collection, use, storage, and processing of personal data we collect from or about you in the course of our activities as a data controller. That means that it applies to activities where Goji determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Where Goji is a data processor, meaning that Goji is processing personal data on the written instructions of a data controller, that data controller is responsible for providing you with information on how your personal data is collected and processed.
As a data controller, Goji may process the personal data of:
- visitors to our website;
- prospective, current and past clients of Goji; and
- prospective, current and past employees of Goji.
Prospective, current and past employees of Goji will be provided separate information about the processing of their data. All other data subjects should read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and delivering good outcomes when doing so.
What is personal data?
Personal data, sometimes referred to as personal information, means information which identifies you, like your name or email address. Any information that falls outside of this is "non-personal data".
If we store your personal data with data that is non-personal, we will consider the combination as personal data. If we remove all personal data from a set of data, then the remaining is non-personal data.
What personal data does Goji collect?

Personal data we receive from other sources
We work closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners and sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers and credit reference agencies) and may receive information about you from them. This may include financial data needed to provide our services to you and criminal data for Goji to comply with our legal obligations.
Special Category Data
Special category data, sometimes referred to as sensitive personal information, is a type of personal data that requires additional protections due to it being highly sensitive in nature. You or your authorised representative may voluntarily disclose special category data to us for the purposes of ensuring you are treated fairly and not negatively impacted due to any vulnerabilities.
We may combine personal data we receive from other sources with personal data you give to us and personal data we collect about you. We may use this personal data and the combined personal data for the purposes set out below.
How does Goji use personal data and on what lawful basis?
We may use your personal data for the following purposes:
- carrying out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us and to provide you with the information that you request from us as part of the contracting process, including providing customer support services;
- conducting due diligence on investors including know your customer (“KYC”) and anti-money laundering (“AML”) checks;

When carrying out the above activities, we will rely on one of the following lawful bases under Article 6(1) of the GDPR:
- you have consented to the processing of your data;
- the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract you are party to;
- to comply with our legal obligations; or
- in order to fulfil our legitimate interests.
What cookies does Goji use?
Cookies are very small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit some websites.
We use cookies to help identify your computer so we can best tailor your user experience. You can disable any cookies already stored on your computer, but these may stop our websites from functioning properly.
We may use the following cookies:
- strictly necessary cookies, required for the operation of our website. These cookies will enable you to log into secure areas of our website and ensure your session is secure;
- functionality cookies, used to recognise you for the next time you visit our website. These allow us to personalise content and remember your preferences from your previous visits. Our website may also offer live chat services (if available);
- analytics and performance cookies, used to collection information about how you use our website. This will help us understand how our users navigate around our website and any errors that may be experienced. The information will be used to help us to improve our system for our users. We use Google Analytics for some of our website analytics;
- marketing cookies, used to access personal information about you from your web browser to help us understand who is visiting our website and interested in our products.
Who does Goji share personal data with?
We may share your personal data with any member of our group of companies, which includes our subsidiaries and our ultimate holding company, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006.
We may share your personal data with selected third parties including business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors to further the purposes detailed above (for example to deliver contracted services to you).
Goji will always take reasonable steps to ensure partners are legitimate and trustworthy and that any personal data shared with them is handled appropriately, including:
- conducting due diligence and ongoing monitoring on material partners; and
- ensuring a written contract is in place which requires the supplier to only process personal data as necessary to fulfil its contract with Goji and in accordance with Goji's instructions.
We may also disclose your personal information to third parties:
- if Goji or our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets; or
- if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Goji, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging personal data with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection.
Where does Goji process and store personal data?
Goji primarily stores personal data in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Goji is based in the United Kingdom and will normally access and use your data from this location as appropriate. The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice. Whenever we do transfer your Personal Data out of the EEA or UK, we will only do so if:
it is to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission; or
we have entered into standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the UK, which gives personal data the same protection as it has in the EEA or the UK.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our sites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
How long does Goji keep personal data for?
Goji does not store personal data for longer than necessary. We will generally retain your records and personal data for seven years from cessation of your client relationship with us as in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including those under the relevant rules of the FCA Handbook.
What rights do I have?
Under the Data Protection Act 2018 and associated regulations and guidance, you have various rights regarding your personal data.
You have the right to request access to, deletion of or correction of your personal data stored by us. You can also request that your personal data stored by us is transferred to another person or service provider. You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes.
You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us at data.protection@goji.investments.
