Who are we and how do you contact our Data Controller?
thewealthworks produces the Troika system which is installed by a number of organisations who use it to record details about a range of their clients including trusts, companies and some individuals. In addition thewealthworks also provide a hosting service through a third party for a small number of clients and act for them as a Data Processor. Under the new data privacy rules (GDPR) thewealthworks is therefore both a Data Controller and Processor.
thewealthworks provide services to a number of clients whose staff details we record in order to provide them with support services. It is the responsibility of those organisations to keep thewealthworks informed when a member of their staff leaves so that our records can be kept up to date. We rely on information provided by our clients about who they employ.

Transaction Monitoring – HMRC’s VAT API
Transaction Monitoring (TxM) is a key security approach adopted in the UK and globally. The approach of HMRC is in line with National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and Cabinet Office recommended guidance and industry good practice and is a requirement for the use of their API. They monitor transactions to protect taxpayers from infringement of their data by criminals or fraudsters. Without the protection offered by TxM, personal data could be compromised, leading to fraud against taxpayers or the UK Exchequer. We are obliged to help protect our users’ confidential data by sending HMRC particular types of user audit data which they will record. The HMRC APIs provide HTTP headers that can be used to pass this audit data to them. These headers can influence the processing of the API call, or support their prosecutions for tax or duty fraud. Details of what is contained in these headers can be found on on the HMRC’s API fraud prevention information page.
As developers we are explicitly required to collect and supply fraud header metadata to HMRC. We will be the data controllers of that data by virtue of Section 6 of the Data Protection Act 2018, which supplements the definition of “controller” found in Article 4(7) of the GDPR and provides that the person who is obliged to process data under a statutory obligation is the controller. This data is only collected for submission to the HMRC API.
Data Location
The servers on which thewealthworks work are located within United Kingdom, (including our Website and back-up facilities). thewealthworks also has a server on their premises which is located in locked, key pass and alarmed premises with CCTV cameras.
