Introduction

This Privacy Policy sets out how MLWP uses and protects any personal data that you provide to MLWP (including personal data provided through the website https://www.MLWP.co.uk in respect of the services connected to the Creative Pension Trust (CPT). MLWP provides services to its business clients throughout the UK in connection with the administration of Auto Enrolment and the submission of data to the Creative Pension Trust, the business client’s chosen qualifying workplace pension scheme for Auto Enrolment purposes., and through providing services to its clients may collect and process personal data about individuals on behalf of its clients or potential clients (“Services”). In addition to this, the Website also collects certain personal data from users, in accordance with this Policy. MLWP are firmly committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of all personal data received or collected, in strict adherence to Data Protection Legislation (defined below) and best business practice.  MLWP has established this Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your personal data.

How to contact us

If you have any questions regarding your personal data and how we may use it, including any queries relating to this Policy, please contact us at mdubber@mlwp.co.uk. or writing to the” Data Protection enquiry” at the head office address noted above. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us. 

Terminology used

MLWP’s data protection and privacy measures are governed by the (i) the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”) and any national implementing laws, regulations and secondary legislation, as amended or updated from time to time, in the UK and then (ii) any successor legislation to the GDPR or the Data Protection Act 1998 (“Data Protection Legislation"). For the purpose of Data Protection Legislation:
  1. where personal data is provided directly to MLWP through use of the Website, email, or other means where MLWP is determining the way in which that personal data is processed, then MLWP will be a data controller of such information;
  2. where MLWP is provided personal data in its capacity of providing Services to its clients, then MLWP will only process that personal data in accordance with the instructions of its clients and MLWP will therefore act as a data processor in respect of such personal data; MLWP’s client will be the data controller of that personal data for that purpose.
Where MLWP acts as a data processor on behalf of its clients, MLWP will process that personal data on the instructions of the client, who would have collected that personal data in accordance with that client’s own privacy policy.  The data subject should therefore check the client’s own privacy policy, to ensure they understand how their personal data may be processed.

Personal data and Basis for Collection

Personal data means any data or information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). Where MLWP is acting as a data controller, MLWP may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which MLWP has grouped together as follows:
  • Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, job title and date.
  • Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
  • Usage Data includes information about how you use MLWP’s Services or submit an enquiry or query through the Website.
Subject to where MLWP needs to verify your identity and you provide your express consent for MLWP to process such information, MLWP does not process any Special Categories (as defined by Data Protection Legislation) about you (this includes details about 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). MLWP would only collect and process information about criminal convictions and offences as may be required for regulated business activities, as required for regulatory purposes.

If you fail to provide personal data

Where MLWP needs to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract MLWP has with you (or our client whom MLWP acts for) and you fail to provide that data when requested, MLWP may not be able to perform the contract it has or is trying to enter. In this case, MLWP may have to cancel the Services but it will notify you (or where appropriate, its client) if this is the case at the time.

How is your personal data collected?

MLWP uses different methods to collect personal data from and about you including through:

How MLWP stores personal data

For secure storage, MLWP does not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

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.

Personal Data Retention

We will only retain personal data as follows:
  1. where we act as a data controller in connection with client contact information, for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for;
  2. where we act as a data processor on behalf of its clients, for the period notified to MLWP by the data controller client, which will usually be for 6 years after the termination of the Services (unless otherwise required by a regulator or by law);
  3. in either case, for the period required for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, regulatory or reporting requirements.

Your Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to:  
  • The right to be informed – this is information on for what purpose we are processing it and what personal data we are processing.
  • The right of access – you have the right to be provided with copies of the personal data of you that we are processing as well as confirmation of the processing we are doing. You can do this by sending a “subject access request” to the contact details noted above for our consideration.
  • The right to rectification – if you think the personal data that we hold on you is wrong you can tell us and we will fix it.
  • The right to erasure (also known as the right to be forgotten) – if you want us to permanently delete the personal data we hold for you then you can ask us to do so.
  • The right to restrict processing – if you do not like how we are using your personal data then you can let us know and we will stop processing it in that way.
  • The right to data portability – if you want us to pass on your personal data to someone else then please let us know. This transfer should not affect the integrity or otherwise damage your personal data.
  • The right to withdraw your consent – you can withdraw your consent for us to process your personal data (if we have relied on your consent to process your personal data) at any time by contacting us. If we have relied only on your consent as the basis to process your personal data then we will stop processing your personal data at the point you withdraw your consent. Please note that if we can also rely on other bases to process your personal data aside from consent then we may do so even if you have withdrawn your consent.
  • Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling – if we use either automated decision making or profiling then you have a right to know. Also, we need your consent if either of these are used to make a decision that affects you. As with all consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
To exercise any of the above rights please email your request to: mdubber@mlwp.co.uk. Where you exercise your right to erasure or where information is deleted in accordance with MLWP’s retention policy, please note that after the deletion of your personal data, it cannot be recovered, so if you require a copy of this personal data, please request this during the period MLWP retains the data. Where you exercise your right to request access to the information MLWP processes about you, 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 clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. MLWP will try to respond to all legitimate access requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
