OFFLINE MARKETING

All advertising or editorial design released by a partner which incorporates information regarding TorFX must have written approval from a Director of TorFX prior to publication.

EMAIL MARKETING

If you wish, you may, with the prior written consent of TorFX, send direct marketing emails promoting the TorFX business to an opt-in subscription email list, but only where the customer has provided a valid consent for you to specifically market TorFX products and services to them. This consent would need to meet the same criteria as ‘Consent to Contact’ below. Prior to sending any such promotional email, a copy of such email must be sent to TorFX for approval by a TorFX representative. It must be clear that any such email promotion has been sent by the partner and does not state or imply that the email is from TorFX.

You shall ensure that any emails you send promoting TorFX shall contain an unsubscribe link and include (or include a link to) your privacy policy.

CONSENT TO CONTACT (REFERRALS)

New EU data privacy regulations (the GDPR) mean that we are allowed to accept a referral from you only if the person you are referring (‘the referee’) has given their consent, either verbally or in writing, for you to pass their details to us.

If you pass to us (or anyone else) details of people who have not given their consent, then you are breaking EU law and we are not permitted to contact the referee.

When you identify someone you would like to refer to us, you must ask them the following question, either verbally, in writing or by email:

‘Would it be okay for me to share your name and contact details with TorFX so they can contact you about their money transfer service?’

We will ask the client to confirm this consent whenever we contact a client referred by you. Only if the referee confirms they gave consent will we be able to continue the conversation.

From time-to-time we may ask you to provide tangible evidence that referees have provided consent. Note that the standard for recording verbal consent is for you to keep a log of meetings where consent was captured, including the names of those present, the date, time and place.

Repeated referee rejections may indicate that referrals are unsafe and result in suspension or termination of the affiliate relationship.
