Securities Screener — Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 8 March 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how AGPB Ltd (company number 17050962), whose registered office is 3rd Floor, 86-90 Paul Street, London, England, EC2A 4NE (AGPB, we, us or our), and Benchwalk Advisors Limited of 1 Bow Lane, London, EC4M 9EE (Benchwalk) collect, use, store and protect personal data in connection with the Securities Screener application (the Application).
AGPB owns and makes the Application available. Benchwalk administers, hosts, supports and promotes the Application, and may also use certain personal data for its own business relationship, business development and related communications purposes as described in this Privacy Policy.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018:
- AGPB is the controller of personal data processed for the purpose of providing, operating, securing and administering the Application; and
- Benchwalk is a separate controller of personal data that it uses for its own business relationship management, business development, product development and related communications purposes as described in this Privacy Policy.
Where Benchwalk handles personal data solely on AGPB's instructions in support of the Application, it does so on AGPB's behalf.
1. Personal data we collect
- Identity and contact data, including your name, business email address, business telephone number, job title, employer or organisation and other account profile information.
- Account and access data, including usernames, passwords or authentication credentials, account status, permissions and related records.
- Usage data, including information about how you use the Application, such as pages viewed, features used, search inputs, screening parameters selected, reports generated and dates and times of activity.
- Technical data, including IP address, device identifiers, browser type and version, operating system, session data and other technical information generated when you access the Application.
- Communications and relationship data, including correspondence with AGPB or Benchwalk concerning the Application, support requests, feedback, records of onboarding or access-related communications, meeting notes, records of commercial discussions, and information about your interest in the Application or related services.
- Organisation-supplied data, including information provided by your employer, organisation or an authorised administrator arranging or managing your access to the Application.
The Application also uses publicly available corporate and market information, such as share prices, financial statements, regulatory announcements and filing data. That information is generally not personal data, except to the extent it relates to an identifiable individual.
2. How we collect personal data
- directly from you, for example when you request access, log in, use the Application, contact us, attend a meeting or demonstration, or provide feedback;
- from your employer, organisation, or an authorised administrator who arranges or manages access on your behalf;
- from your interactions with Benchwalk in connection with the Application, including commercial, relationship-management and business-development discussions; and
- automatically from your device or browser when you use the Application, including through server logs and strictly necessary technologies used to operate and secure the Application.
3. How we use personal data and our lawful bases
AGPB and Benchwalk use personal data for the following purposes and on the following lawful bases.

- Sending business-to-business updates and communications about the Application, related events, opportunities and Benchwalk services where permitted by applicable law, using identity and contact data and communications and relationship data, on the basis of legitimate interests and, where required by law, consent; and

AGPB may also use personal data to establish, exercise or defend legal rights and to comply with law or regulation, using any categories of personal data relevant to the issue, on the basis of legitimate interests and, where applicable, legal obligation.
4. Legitimate interests pursued
- operating, administering and improving the Application;

5. Sharing personal data
- Between AGPB and Benchwalk, where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy; where either receives personal data for its own purposes described in this Privacy Policy, it will handle that data as a controller for those purposes;
- Technology, hosting, authentication, analytics, security and IT support providers who assist with the operation of the Application;
- Market data providers and other third-party integrations, where technical request data such as IP address or device information may be transmitted in the course of providing requested functionality;
- Professional advisers, insurers, auditors and other advisers where disclosure is reasonably necessary for advice, compliance, risk management or legal claims; and
- Regulators, courts, law enforcement bodies or other public authorities where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
We do not sell personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
6. International transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where that occurs, the relevant controller will ensure that transfers are made using a lawful transfer mechanism and with appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses, or another valid safeguard under UK data protection law.
Further information about relevant safeguards may be requested using the contact details below.
7. Data retention
- Account and access data: retained for as long as your account remains active and ordinarily for up to 12 months after access ends, unless longer retention is needed for security, legal or audit reasons.
- Usage data: ordinarily retained for up to 24 months, unless a longer period is justified for security, troubleshooting, legal or evidential purposes.
- Technical and security log data: ordinarily retained for up to 12 months, unless longer retention is reasonably required for investigation, incident response or legal purposes.

AGPB and Benchwalk may retain personal data for longer where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
8. Data security
- appropriate access controls, authentication measures and role-based permissions;
- encryption of data in transit;
- security monitoring, logging and incident management processes; and
- the use of reputable infrastructure and service providers with appropriate security measures.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

- the right to rectification;
- the right to erasure, in certain circumstances;
- the right to restrict processing, in certain circumstances;
- the right to data portability, where applicable;
- the right to object, particularly where processing is based on legitimate interests; and

You may exercise these rights in relation to AGPB processing, Benchwalk processing, or both. Requests may be sent using the contact details below and will be routed to the relevant controller.
10. Cookies and similar technologies
The Application uses strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies required for authentication, session management, security and core functionality.
