Security and privacy

Fidelity is committed to maintaining your personal data in accordance with the requirements of our legal and regulatory data protection obligations and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is kept secure.

Security

Except as outlined above or otherwise required by law, your personal information will not be passed to anyone without your permission. To comply with Money Laundering Regulations, Fidelity may need to request additional evidence of identity from you, and may use a credit reference agency for this purpose (who will record that an enquiry has been made).

Please note that the personal information which you provide will be processed by Fidelity or associated or affiliated companies, who may be based outside of the EEA. This may involve the transfer of data by electronic media including the internet.

Where your data is transferred outside of the UK, Fidelity will ensure that the recipient agrees to keep your information confidential and hold it securely in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act.

E-mail addresses and fax numbers are not collected or used without your specific permission to do so.

With limited exceptions, you may ask for a copy of the personal information which Fidelity holds on you. Fidelity is allowed by law to make a charge for this. If any of the information which we hold about you is incorrect, please tell us and we will amend it. Simply call the Pensions Service Centre on 0800 368 6868.
