Privacy Notice

Introduction


This privacy notice sets out how Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) Share Plans will collect and use your personal data and your information rights. We are committed to taking good care of your personal data and ensuring the highest standards of privacy. If you have any questions about this notice, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We’ll be more than happy to help.

YBS Share Plans is part of Yorkshire Building Society (YBS). Within this privacy notice, any references to ‘Share Plans’ ‘us’, ‘our’ and ‘we’ means ‘YBS’. Your employer will be referred to as ‘Employer’, ‘Company’ or ‘Client’. An ‘account’ can mean an account where savings/deposits are held or just simply an administration record. The terms ‘Scheme’ and ‘Plan’ are used interchangeably to describe the services we provide to your employer in relation to their employee share scheme/plan.

This notice does not extend to other organisations, such as any external websites you may access from our website. Other organisations may inform you how they use your personal data.

When appropriate, we will provide a ‘just in time’ notice to cover any additional processing activities not mentioned in this notice.

You can download and print a copy of our Privacy Notice here.

An organisation that decides how the personal data it collects and holds is used is called a ‘data controller’. We call this use of personal data ‘processing’ – this includes the collection, storage, analysis, sharing, retention and disposal of personal data. We will be the data controller.

As a Data Controller, we are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) - the organisation in the UK that oversees that an organisation is acting accordingly when processing personal data. Our registration numbers are:

  • Z9006086
  • Z5217596

YBS provides share plan trustee and administration services, including deposit taking, all of which are subject to English law, with deposit taking being regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The provision of share plan trustee and administration services is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We are not responsible for share plan deposits held by local savings carriers outside the UK. This notice applies to all of the following services:

  • Sharesave (UK SAYE)
  • Global Sharesave
  • Sharesave – Republic of Ireland (Irish SAYE)

The table below shows our role for each type of service.

* If you don’t pay money to YBS each month and just receive documents/e-forms from us, this will be you.

** You will likely be included in this scheme if another provider has provided an administration portal and/or sends you share plan documents since the start of your savings contract.

In order that we can provide you with a high quality service and, where applicable, enter into a relationship with you, we will need to obtain and use personal data about you. Without this, we may not be able to provide you with one of our services or deal with your queries effectively.

We require personal data in order to verify/validate you and for security purposes. If you do not provide us with this, we may not be able to provide you with services or communicate with you effectively. Some of our terms and conditions require you to provide us with personal data, such as informing us of a change of address so that we can provide you with statutory information relating to your account.

We collect and use a variety of personal data to run our business and manage our relationship with you. The table below shows the typical categories of personal data we ask you for and why we may ask for it. You will find more specific information in the ‘How do we use your personal data?’ section:

We use your CREST ID to arrange the transfer of shares from the Corporate Sponsored Nominee account to your individual Nominee account.

  • Identify and verify you
  • for reporting purposes (e.g. demographics and statistics)

We use this to allow Brokers to comply with stock market reporting obligations and, for nationality, to meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

Place of birth

We may collect details on your place of birth in order to authenticate and verify you when you contact us and to prevent fraud.

Tax status

Where applicable, we will use this for identifying your tax status. If you are a tax resident overseas or a US citizen, you are required to complete a declaration and we are obliged to report the information relating to you and your account(s) to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). HMRC may share the information with the relevant tax authorities.

From time to time, we may need to ask for personal data that might seem sensitive. This is known as ‘special category data’. In general we do not collect special category data about you, but sometimes the personal data we collect may reveal this. This could include information on:

  • race or ethnicity
  • health, including any medical condition, health and sickness or vulnerability

  • Regulators such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
  • Tracing agents acting our behalf
  • The Official Receiver/Insolvency Practitioners
  • Individuals acting under a Power of Attorney
  • Personal Representatives

In almost all cases, we’ll ask for your explicit consent before collecting special category data unless we are required to by law (for example, for employment law purposes), there is an overriding public interest, or where we believe you or someone else may be at risk.

If you contact us and share this type of information, then we’ll assume that you’re happy for us to record it – unless you tell us not to. If someone acting on your behalf provides this information, we’ll record what’s been provided and who gave it to us.

Where we have relied on your explicit consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to us recording and using special category data at any time. This will not affect any use we have made of the information before you withdrew your consent.

From time to time, we might need to collect or use personal data about individuals who aren’t our customers, for example your spouse/civil partner or beneficiaries. The information you give us or that we collect through your use of our services, may contain your or another person’s personal data. If you provide us with information about another person, you confirm that they have appointed you to act for them, they consent to you providing their personal data to us and any processing of their personal data and that you have informed them of our identity and the purpose for which their personal data will be processed – as set out in this Privacy Notice.

As we operate in a regulated industry we have to comply with the laws and regulations set by government bodies and our regulators. YBS are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

We process your personal data for a number of different purposes. When we collect, use, share or hold your personal data, we must have a valid reason to do so (known as a ‘lawful basis’). The table below sets out the different lawful basis we may rely on. You can find out more in the how we use your personal data section.

Lawful basis

Description

Consent

You have given free and clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose.

Contract

The processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because we have asked you to take specific steps before entering into a contract.

Explicit consent

You have given explicit consent for us to process your sensitive personal data for a specific purpose.

Legal obligation

The processing is necessary for us to comply with the law or legal requirement.

Legitimate interests

The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.

In general we do not collect special category data about you, but sometimes the personal data we collect may reveal this. We will only process your special category personal data where we have an additional lawful basis. This includes:

  • Where we need to carry out our legal obligations or exercise rights in connection with your application for an account with us.
  • Where it is needed in the public interest: for example, we will use information about your race or national or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or moral beliefs, or your sexual life or sexual orientation, to ensure meaningful equality and diversity monitoring and reporting.
  • With your explicit written consent. In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain particularly sensitive data. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the information that we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent.
  • Where it is needed in relation to legal claims or where it is needed to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests) and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the information public.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

We use your personal data for a whole host of reasons. This may vary depending on the type of scheme you are enrolled in.

Purpose

Why we use your personal data this way

Lawful basis we rely on to process your personal data

To review your application (including tax domicile status)

We will collect, use, share and keep personal data needed for us to deal with your enquiries and manage the ongoing administration of your accounts and services. This includes keeping your account records up to date and contacting you when needed.

For some global schemes where we hold deposits, we will need to collect personal data so we can comply with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)/Common Reporting Standard (CRS) reporting obligations – collectively known as ‘International Tax Compliance.’

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

Legal obligation

Legitimate interests

For profiling

We use your personal data to allow us to understand our customer base and gain insights into our customers and our services. These activities are used to predict how we can best deliver our service to you as well as tailor our product or service offerings and contact you efficiently and effectively with information that is relevant to you.

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

  • Notifying you about member related events e.g. AGMs and other meetings.
  • Presenting shareholdings, documents and information about the Scheme to you
  • Monitoring your participation in connected Schemes
  • Facilitating the gathering of instructions for the holding/transferring of shares at maturity/vesting/withdrawal/closure.

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

Legitimate interests

To manage surveys and feedback

We use personal data to manage surveys we may conduct from time to time

As part of this we may engage third party providers to administer the survey on our behalf and share your contact details with them.

You have the right to object to us processing your personal data in this way.

Legitimate interests

To market our services

Where you consent, we will use your personal data to identify if any of our services may be of interest to you and for making suggestions and recommendations to you about them. We will also use personal data to provide you with the information and services that you request from us via your chosen channel.

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

Consent

To meet our legal and regulatory obligations

We’re required to collect and use your personal data in a number of circumstances to meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

These include using your personal data to carry out a range of activities that ensure we comply with the requirements set out by our regulators (e.g. Financial Conduct Authority – FCA) and in relevant legislation (e.g. Data Protection Legislation and Anti-Money Laundering Regulations). We also disclose information to HMRC and other government bodies when we are required or permitted to do so, for example to detect and prevent fraud.

For some global schemes where we hold deposits, we will need to collect personal data so we can comply with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)/Common Reporting Standard (CRS) reporting obligations – collectively known as ‘International Tax Compliance.’

Legal obligation

To prevent and detect fraud and financial crime

We use and share your personal data with fraud prevention agencies to help prevent financial crime and fraud. Sometimes we have a legal obligation to do this. If required for fraud or criminal investigation reasons, we (and the fraud prevention agencies) may also allow law enforcement agencies to access and use your personal data.

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

Legal obligation

Legitimate interests

To resolve any complaints you may have

We will collect, use, share and keep personal data to help us resolve any complaints that you may have or make.

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

Legitimate interests

To test our systems and processes

In order to improve our services and systems, we may use your personal data for testing our systems so that we can make them even better.

Using your personal data for testing is necessary for our legitimate business interests as it allows us to maintain and improve the security, integrity and performance of our systems. Also, being able to develop systems with customers in mind enhances the experiences you have with us.

We have stringent processes in place to keep your personal data safe and we won’t use it in a way that’s unfair to you. When we are unable to use 'masked' or anonymous data (i.e. that which doesn’t identify you), we will aim to:

  • Always do this in a secure and controlled environment
  • Only use the minimum amount of data necessary for the testing required
  • Only use carefully selected specialist service providers, where necessary
  • Only hold your information in this way for as long as needed to carry out testing

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

Legitimate interests

Verifying your identify

Sometimes we have a regulatory requirement to confirm the identity of anyone opening an account with us. This upholds our legal obligations to complete necessary due diligence checks to make sure we know our customers, helps prevent and detect fraud, prevents identity theft and protects our business. It is also in our legitimate interests to check the identity of our customers for the same reasons.

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for legitimate interests.

Legal obligation

Legitimate interests

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with where this is required or permitted by law.

There may be circumstances where we use automated decision making using your personal data. We use automated decision making to check that we can enter into a contract with you, and also carry out our legal and regulatory obligations. Sometimes, it’s required by law (e.g. when complying with UK money laundering regulations). We may use automated decision making to:

  • Carry out financial crime checks as required under law.
  • Check if someone’s making a fraudulent application or if there’s activity on your account that needs further review. This is so we can protect you from financial crime.
  • Decide if you are, or continue to be, eligible for the service you’ve chosen.

For automated decision making, we use information that we’ve collected or hold about you from your applications. Sometimes, we might also use information from other sources such as credit reference or fraud prevention agencies – but we check this against the information you give us.

There may be occasions where we need to share your personal data with external partners or organisations. This can be where you have asked us, your employer has or we are required by law. We will only transfer your personal data to trusted third parties who provide sufficient security guarantees and who demonstrate a commitment to compliance with applicable law and this policy.

Where third parties are processing personal information on our behalf, they will be required to agree, by contractual means, to process the personal information in accordance with the applicable law. This contract will stipulate, amongst other things, that the third party and its representatives shall act only on our instructions, or as permitted by law.

Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

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