Your privacy and trust are important to us. This Statement explains how London
Stock Exchange Group plc, LCH Limited and other companies within the London
Stock Exchange Group (“LSEG", “we”, “us” or “our”) processes (e.g. collects,
handles, stores, uses, shares or transfers, and protects) personal information
about you as further described below. It also provides information about your
rights and about how you can contact us if you have questions about how we
handle your information.
WHO THIS STATEMENT APPLIES TO AND WHAT IT COVERS
This Statement applies to individuals who access, use, and/or interact with our
products, services, websites, digital properties, platforms, software, and
application(s), including mobile application (“app”) (including third-party
platforms that host our websites and/or content) that hyperlink to this
Statement (we call these our “Services”), attend our events or events hosted at
our premises; to independent contractors or consultants whom we engage to
perform and/or provide a service; and to subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, or
service providers and to the personnel of the same.
This Statement covers the content that forms part of our Services (excluding
World-Check content or information). The Privacy Statement covering World-Check
is available here.
Children’s Privacy. Our Services are not generally aimed at children. We do not
intentionally collect personal information from or about individuals under the
age of thirteen (13); however, in the event that we learn or discover that we
have collected personal information inconsistent with this statement, we will
ensure that the processing of such personal information is for a lawful and
legitimate purpose and we will make reasonable efforts to delete and remove such
personal information following the expiration or termination of the lawful and
legitimate purpose.
Depending on the Service, we may provide additional or different privacy
statements or notices for specific interactions you have with us or to highlight
how we use your personal information for specific Services. Where we do this, it
will be clear which statements apply to which interactions and Services. For
example, if you use one of our mobile apps, we may provide you a separate notice
in relation to a particular data type collected through that app.
Within our Services, there may be links to third-party websites or applications.
We are not responsible for the content or privacy compliance of third-party
websites or applications. You should check those websites or applications for
their privacy statements and terms that apply to them.
This Statement does not apply when we are acting in the role or capacity of a
processor or service provider (or any other similar role or capacity) of
personal information on behalf of a third-party. In such case, we are processing
personal information at the direction and instruction of the third-party and the
third-party’s privacy statement(s) will govern and control.

WHO WE ARE
LSEG is a global company that is made up of numerous legal entities. Excluding
those companies that have their own, separate privacy statement, this Statement
applies to all companies within the LSEG group undertakings. The term “group
undertakings” has the meaning given in Section 1161 Companies Act 2006. For a
list of group companies, please refer to our most recent annual report which you
can find on our Annual Reports page. For additional information, please contact
us.
For some Services we make decisions on how personal information is used in the
context of a Service (the appropriate entity within LSEG is a controller of
personal information in this case), and for other Services we will only use
personal information as instructed by our customers (the appropriate entity
within LSEG is a processor of personal information in this case).
You can find more information on the cases where LSEG acts as a controller or
processor at this page. Unless otherwise stated on that page, or in this Privacy
Statement, LSEG is a controller of personal information in respect to the
Services provided. If you wish to contact the LSEG entity that is the controller
for the Service relevant to you, please contact us.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
This section includes details of the purposes for which we use personal
information and also the different legal grounds upon which we process that
personal information. Further information is set out below.
Some laws require us to explain our lawful reason for processing your personal
information. Personal information may be processed under more than one lawful
reason/basis. We process personal information about you on the basis that it is:
* necessary for the performance of a contract: where we have a contract with
you, we will process your personal information in order to fulfil that
contract (i.e., to provide you with Services)
* in our or a third-party’s legitimate interests: details of those legitimate
interests are set out in more detail below (e.g. provision of Services that
we are contractually obliged by a third-party, such as your employer or our
subscriber, to deliver to you)
* substantial public interest on the basis of applicable law (e.g. to help
prevent and detect unlawful acts (e.g. money laundering, terrorism, fraud
and/or other criminal activity (including, without limitation, modern
slavery)))
* where you give us your consent (e.g. signing up to receive marketing and
promotional communications from or about LSEG, competitions administered by
or on behalf of us): we only ask for your consent in relation to specific
uses of personal information where we need to and, if we need it, we will
collect it separately and make it clear that we are asking for consent
* for compliance with a legal obligation (e.g. to respond to a court order or a
regulator; comply with statutory and regulatory requirements within the
jurisdictions within which we operate (including those relating to bribery
and corruption, money laundering and sanctions; sharing personal information
with external organisations (e.g. police, tax authorities, or other public
authorities or government enforcement agencies))
In the limited circumstances where we process sensitive personal information, we
normally do so where:
* necessary in relation to employee obligations
* personal information is within the public domain
* necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or
whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity
* processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, on the
basis of applicable law
You are welcome to contact us for further information on the legal grounds that
we rely on in relation to any specific processing of your personal information.

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR USE
We use personal information for a number of legitimate interests. More detailed
information about these legitimate interests is set out below.
We use personal information:
* to set up and administer your account and your use of our Services (including
for access credentialing purposes, provide technical and customer support and
training, verify your identity and perform authentication activities,
facilitate and process transactions, provide suggestions and recommendations
related to our Services, service our customers’ needs (including delivering
the Services) and send important account, subscription and Service
information)

providers (e.g. to send invoices)
* to understand the patterns, preferences and interests of our customers to
improve and enhance our Services

you participate in

companies listed on our markets, their officers and their relevant advisors

interested in, and so that we can make our Services more user-friendly
* to personalise your experience with our Services. We may retain your
browsing and usage information to make your searches within our Services more
relevant and use those insights to target advertising to you online on our
websites and apps. Your choices in relation to marketing are explained here.
We may sometimes share your personal information across our Services so that
we can make all of the Services we deliver to you more intuitive (e.g. rather
than requiring you to enter the same data many times)
* to contact you in relation to, and to conduct, surveys, polls or other
research activities and to analyse the data collected for market research
purposes, including, without limitation, related to creating and improving
our Services
* to display information you choose to post, share, upload or make available in
chat rooms, messaging services, and community and event forums (including in
community and event profiles) and for related collaboration, peer connection,
games and information exchange
* to provide any third-party, who has made our Services available to you (e.g.
your employer or our subscriber), insights about use of the Services
* for internal research and development purposes and to improve, test and
enhance the features and functions of our Services
* to provide you with marketing as permitted by law
* to meet our internal and external audit requirements, including our
information security obligations (and if your employer or our subscriber
provides for your access to our Services, to meet their internal and external
audit requirements)
* for regulatory reporting, oversight and co-operation
* to enforce our terms and conditions
* to protect our rights, privacy, safety, networks, systems and property, or
those of other persons including, without limitation, verifying identity at
our premises (e.g. collecting a personal identification document and related
information) and monitoring our premises for safety and security (e.g. CCTV)
purposes
* for the (i) onboarding of, and management of relationships with,
clients/customers, vendors/service providers, business partners, professional
advisors and/or any other counterparties; (ii) negotiation and finalisation
of, and/or participation in, any sale, merger, acquisition, restructure,
joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any
portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any
bankruptcy or similar proceedings) or any similar transaction(s); and (iii)
appointment and periodic review of any individuals in ownership, shareholder,
member, manager, director, officer and/or any other executive-level
positions, roles, or capacities for or with companies within the LSEG group
of companies and in connection with the matters covered in (i) – (iii)
immediately above, to carry out any background and screening checks
(including screening checks performed using our World-Check product). For the
Privacy Statement for World-Check, please click here
* for the prevention, detection or investigation of a crime or other breach of
law or requirement, loss prevention or fraud
* to build, update, supplement and manage content databases made available to
our customers in connection with our Services
* to comply with requests from courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory
agencies, and other public and government authorities, including where they
are outside your country of residence
* in order to exercise our rights, and to defend ourselves from claims and to
comply with laws and regulations that apply to us or third parties with whom
we work
Where we rely on legitimate interests as a lawful ground for processing your
personal information, we balance those interests against your interests,
fundamental rights and freedoms. For more information on how this balancing
exercise has been carried out, please contact the Privacy Office.

MARKETING
We deliver marketing and event communications to you across various platforms
such as email, telephone, text messaging, direct mail and online. Where required
by law, we will ask you to explicitly opt in to receive marketing from us. If we
send you a marketing communication, it will include instructions on how to opt
out of receiving these communications in the future.
Honouring your marketing preferences is important to us. You have the right to
opt out of receiving direct marketing and targeted online advertising.
We use tools and technologies to deliver or display targeted marketing and
advertising content on or through our Services, which may involve the use of
cookies and related technologies, the tracking of IP addresses and/or assigning
and tracking unique identification numbers.
We also may engage in marketing and advertising activities through chat or
messenger functionality available through our Services.
We use email tracking technology including, without limitation, dynamic links
and image files, when we send you marketing communications to review your
engagement and the effectiveness and relevance of the communications.
We use tools and technologies to distinguish known and unknown users of our
Services and to record, review, track and analyse engagement and use of our
Services (e.g. recording or tracking hovers, clicks, key word searches, personal
information entered into forms, etc.).
We may also engage in marketing activities on third-party platforms, including,
without limitation, social media platforms; however, such activities are subject
to the privacy statements and terms and conditions applicable to such
third-party platforms.
How to opt out of marketing
Where we engage in direct marketing activities, including, without limitation,
direct marketing via email, post, and telephone/mobile phone, we provide
individuals the ability to opt-out or unsubscribe from such marketing
activities. You can use the “Contact Us” feature of a particular Service, you
can use the specific opt-out or unsubscribe mechanisms made available to you in
connection with a specific type of marketing communication, you can discuss with
your LSEG contact, or by contacting the Privacy Office. As an example, for email
marketing activities, we provide several opt-out or unsubscribe options
including, without limitation, via the opt-out/unsubscribe options in emails,
through our email marketing preference centre, or through contacting the Privacy
Office.
Even if you opt out of receiving marketing communications, we may still send you
service communications or important transactional information related to your
accounts, subscriptions and applicable products (for purposes such as providing
customer support).
Interest-based advertising
Interest-based advertising (“IBA”) allows us to deliver targeted advertising to
users of our Services. IBA works by showing you advertisements, or sending you
marketing emails, that are based on the type of content you access or read. For
example, as you browse our Services, one of the cookies placed on your device
will be an advertising cookie so we can better understand what sort of pages or
content you are interested in. The information collected about your device
enables us to group you with other devices that have shown similar interests. We
can then display advertising to categories of users that is based on common
interests. For more information about IBA, you can visit the Internet
Advertising Bureau here.
Opting out of IBA
If you want to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising, it does not mean
that you will no longer receive advertising when you are using our Services. It
just means that we will not use your personal information for IBA and that any
advertising you see will not be customised to you. You can exercise your online
advertising choices here or by clicking the AdChoices icon in an ad and
following the instructions. You may also opt out of receiving interest-based ads
from many sites through the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) Opt Out Tool
and in the EU. You may also go to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA")
Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based
advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA
companies. If you delete cookies, use a different device, or change web
browsers, you may need to opt out again.
Advertising on mobile devices
Mobile devices have an identifier that gives companies the ability to serve
targeted ads to a specific mobile device. In many cases, you can turn off mobile
device ad tracking or you can reset the advertising identifier at any time
within your mobile device privacy settings. Another tool you can use to control
advertising on your mobile device is the AppChoices App. You may also choose to
turn off location tracking on your mobile device. If you turn off ad tracking or
location tracking, we will no longer use information collected from your
device’s advertising identifier for the purposes of advertising. You may still
see the same number of ads but they may be less relevant because they will not
be based on your interests. Where we need your consent to gather information
about your location we will obtain this from you.

HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We share personal information with various parties and persons including within
the LSEG group of companies, with our business partners and third-party service
providers, the party or person providing your access to our Services (if that is
not you), in accordance with law and as otherwise described in this Statement.
Our third-party service providers are not permitted to share or use personal
information we make available to them for any purpose other than to provide
services to us. In connection with the sharing of personal information,
additional notice may be provided, and consent obtained, as required under
applicable law.
We share your information for the purposes set out in this Statement, with the
following categories of recipients:

applicable law. In some cases, we may need to disclose or transfer your personal
information within LSEG or to third parties in areas outside of your home
country, including to countries that have not been declared adequate for the
purposes of data protection by data protection regulators/supervisory
authorities, including, without limitation, the UK and the European Commission.

HOW WE SECURE PERSONAL INFORMATION
LSEG takes the security of personal information seriously and we use appropriate

Information Security Officer, which is responsible for implementing secure data
handling practices at LSEG.
Our information security policies and procedures are closely aligned with widely
accepted international standards and are reviewed regularly and updated as
necessary to meet the sensitivity of the personal information we handle, our
business needs, changes in technology and regulatory requirements. While we use
reasonable means to protect your security as described above, data transmission
over the internet cannot always be guaranteed to be one hundred percent (100%)
secure. We cannot and do not warrant the security of any personal information
you transmit, and all such transmissions are done at your own risk.
