To initiate these checks, we may collect certain personal data directly from you, including:

This data is used to begin the verification process with our regulated third-party provider (currently SmartSearch), who will then contact you directly via secure link to complete identity verification.

As part of this process, SmartSearch may also conduct Politically Exposed Person (PEP) checks, sanctions screening, and adverse media monitoring in line with UK regulatory requirements.

You will not be asked to send sensitive documents directly to CSBD-UK. All personal data is handled securely and in full compliance with UK GDPR and relevant data protection laws.

We process this information under the lawful bases of legal obligation and legitimate interest. If you have any concerns or questions about this process, please contact us using the details below.
