Merseyside Pension Fund has published its 2018 Data Protection Policy

Merseyside Pension Fund has published its Data Protection Policy. The Fund is classed as a Data Controller under the Data Protection Act 2018 as it collects, stores and controls how personal information relating to its members is managed.

The purpose of this policy is to define the Fund’s responsibilities under the Data Protection Act 2018, providing assurance to our members that their data is managed in compliance with the statutory obligations placed upon the Fund.

This policy is designed to give members an overview of how the Fund complies with the Act in our working practices and to provide an overview to Fund officers of how the Act should be applied to inform their decisions and day-to-day work by providing a legal background to the processing of personal data.
