Vinterior operates as a registered Art Market Participant (AMP) under UK law, which means we must follow specific anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing rules for certain transactions. You may be asked to provide verification on these transactions.
If this is the case, Vinterior will conduct legal compliance obligations required under regulation. This includes mandatory AML checks, which involve biometric verification for all beneficiaries involved in a transaction, such as trade buyers, their owners or directors, and the end clients if they are beneficiaries. These checks must be completed before an order can proceed to dispatch.
All data collected is handled securely, in line with our Privacy Policy
We only collect data strictly necessary to comply with the regulations
We retain records of transactions and verification for the legally required period
Your information will not be used for marketing or other non-compliance purposes
We may share necessary information with HMRC, NCA, or other competent authorities if required by law- AML biometric checks cannot be performed in advance of an order being placed, as collecting sensitive personal data without a specific transactional need would violate GDPR regulations. By conducting AML checks only when required for a specific order, Vinterior ensures ethical handling of personal data and compliance with GDPR.
