This version was last updated on 13/02/2026.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes.

2. The data we collect about you

A piece of information constitutes personal data if it relates to an individual, directly or indirectly. In other words, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable living person; such a person is called a data subject.

We, or My Money Matters on our behalf, may collect, use, store and transfer different types of personal data about you, which we have grouped together in the following ways:

Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, Employee Number, NI Number, date of birth, gender, salary and any existing AVC Plan information.
Contact Data includes address, email address and telephone numbers.
Transaction Data includes details about products and services you have selected.
Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access the My Money Matters platform at https://www.my-money-matters.co.uk
Profile Data includes your username and password, feedback and survey responses.
Usage Data includes information about how you use the My Money Matters platform and services.
Communications Data includes your communication preferences.

We also collect, use and share with third parties Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Site feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

Neither we, nor My Money Matters on our behalf, collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (such as your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we, or My Money Matters on our behalf, collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

If you fail to provide personal data

Where we, or My Money Matters on our behalf, need to collect your personal data by law, or for the performance of a contract to which you are party, if you fail to provide that personal data, those lawful purposes for collecting and processing it cannot be met. Consequently, for example, you may have your request for services rejected.

3. How is your personal data collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you, including through:

Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity and Contact Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:
- make an application for products or services;

- subscribe to publications;
- enter a competition, promotion or survey; or
- give us feedback or contact us.
Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with the platform, we will automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies. For further details, please see the Cookies section later on in this Privacy Statement.
Third parties or publicly available sources. We will receive personal data about you from analytics providers such as Google.

4. How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. We will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

Where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
Where it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us, or by My Money Matters on our behalf.

6. International transfers

My Money Matters and some of its Sub-Processors may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or the European Economic Area, including to the Sub‑Processors listed above, such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards including the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, Standard Contractual Clauses, or adequacy regulations, together with appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

7. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data: see the ‘Your legal rights’ section below for further information.

In some circumstances, we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9. Your legal rights

In certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection law in relation to your personal data.

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a data subject access request). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
- Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us. Alternatively, you can contact My Money Matters (our Data Processor) by email at support@my-money-matters.co.uk - who will then make us aware of your data right request.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in those circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

Normally, we will respond to all legitimate requests within one month. In exceptional cases, it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In such a case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
