Marketing from Fideliti
Fideliti will only use your personal data to administer the childcare voucher services and associated services we provide to you. We will not forward your data to any third party company without your prior express consent.
How long do we retain your personal data for?
Your personal data will be held with us and processed by us for as long as the purpose for which it was collected continues. Once you have decided that you no longer require our services, your data will be held on our systems for a further six years. The reasons for this are:
- To respond to any future queries or complaints.
- To comply with legal, regulatory and accounting requirements.
However, it may be possible to remove some of your personal data if you decide to exercise your rights as mentioned later on in this privacy policy.
Your rights as a data subject
Right of Access
You have the right to request access to your personal data, to obtain confirmation that it is being processed, and to obtain certain prescribed information about how it is processed. You can do this by submitting an information request, free of charge, to the Data Protection Officer, as detailed at the end of this privacy policy.
Right to Rectification
If you find that any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete you have the right to ask for this to be corrected or completed.
Right to Erasure (Right to be forgotten)
In some circumstances you may ask us to erase your data from our system. Where you request this, we will make every attempt to comply; however, there are some situations whereby we would be unable to erase your data, such as when we need to comply with regulatory requirements
Right to Restriction of Processing
If certain conditions apply, you have the right to restrict the processing of your information. This includes:
- When you contest it as being inaccurate (until the accuracy is proven.)
- If you have objected to the data being processed but we need to decide if it was necessary for a legitimate interest.
- When processing your data has been unlawful but you decide against erasing your data.
- If we no longer need your data for the original purpose it was obtained, but you require us to hold it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Right of Portability
In certain circumstances you have the right to move, copy or transfer your personal data to another organisation. This works slightly differently to your rights of access as you may not be entitled to the same amount of information under the right of portability as you would be entitled to under the right of access.
Right to Object
You can object to us processing your data unless:
- We can demonstrate legitimate grounds for processing your data such as continuing to make childcare voucher payments on your behalf.
- The processing of your data is for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.
Automated Decision Making
You have the right not to be subject to any decisions made solely by automated means. However, we will never make any automated decisions when administering the Childcare Voucher Scheme.
How will I know if this Privacy Policy changes?
We may amend this policy in the future to keep it up to date or to comply with legal requirements. We would advise you to check it regularly for updates. The privacy policy can be found at: https://www.fideliti.co.uk/Privacy-PolicyCP.aspx
If necessary, you may be notified of changes. The contact details that we hold for you will be used for this purpose, based on the legal basis of compliance with our legal obligations or legitimate interests.
