2. Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal data about you during and after your participation on the Midlife MOT programme (“the programme”) with us, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA”). In collecting this information and providing the services to you on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (“DWP”), we are initially acting as a data controller. Once you have been onboarded onto the programme and have been issued with the DWP Privacy Notice, the DWP will act as a data controller, and we will act as a data processor.
Reed in Partnership Limited works with the DWP to deliver the programme.
This notice does not form part of any contract of employment or other contract to provide services. We may update this notice at any time but if we do so, we will provide you with an updated copy of this notice as soon as reasonably practical.
It is important that you read and retain this notice, together with any other privacy notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information and what your rights are under the DPA. We only use your personal data for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice and permitted by DWP in order to deliver the programme.
Details of how DWP process your personal data, what they do with it and why, are set out in their privacy notice, which is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-work-pensions/about/personal-information-charter
Who are we?
We are Reed in Partnership Limited (“Reed”). Our address is Academy Court, 94 Chancery Lane, London, WC2A 1DT. You can contact us by post at the above address or by email at [email protected].
Any queries about how your personal data is being processed should be made to the Reed directly by using the postal or email address listed at the beginning of this section.
What information do we collect about you?
DWP have commissioned Reed to deliver the Midlife MOT service which supports participants to review and improve the standard of their Work, Wealth and Wellbeing in East Anglia.
The personal data that we collect directly from yourselves includes:
1. Identity Data, including full name, title, date of birth, age, gender and sex.
2. Contact Data, including home address, email address and telephone numbers.
3. Special Categories of Personal Data including details about your race or ethnicity and information about your health.
4. Employment information, including information on your current employment and details about your employer.
This data will be shared with the DWP when they begin to act as a data controller.
Third Parties
We may also share your personal data with third party service providers who assist us in carrying out our business activities. These third parties act as our data processors and are bound by strict contractual provisions to only process your personal data under our instructions and for the limited purposes we permit them. These third parties include (but are not limited to), assessment tools, evaluation, research and market research and analysis service providers, and all other outsourced service providers (such as communication providers) that assist us in the provision of our services.
We may also share your personal data with courts, tribunals, regulators and other governmental and public authorities (such as the police or tax authorities) to: (i) to comply with legal process, (ii) to comply with applicable law, and (iii) to respond to requests from public and governmental bodies.
We do not share your personal data with any other third parties, apart from where it is necessary to do so in order to deliver the programme as described above, and we will never sell your data. Where your data is stored (electronically or otherwise) it is held securely in the UK and will not be transferred outside the EEA. Our Assessment Provider, Eintech Limited, act as our Data Processor and store data in the EU.
Why do we collect this information?
We only collect this data because it is required to deliver the programme commissioned by the DWP. The lawful basis for processing is to carry out a Public Task.
Any data which is collected by Reed which is not prescribed by DWP is collected under the grounds of legitimate interests, as without this information, Reed would be unable to provide you with the service and support you require in order to partake in the programme. This information is gathered with the lawful basis of Consent.
In order to provide you with additional support, we may also ask for your consent to share your personal data with a network of organisations. You are able to withdraw your consent at any time.
What do we do with your information?
We only use your personal data to deliver the programme to the standard required by the DWP, for audit purposes and to track the effectiveness of our service delivery.
It will also be used to confirm your progress on the Programme. Your personal data will only be shared with such organisations to the extent that it is necessary to deliver the programme.
How long do we keep your information for?
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.
Where Reed act as a Data Controller, your data will be retained for a period of 2 (two) years.
Once we are no longer contractually required to keep your data we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with our Retention Policy.
Your rights over your information
By law, you can ask us what information we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate. Under certain circumstances you have the right to request that we either delete or restrict the processing of your personal data or can request the transfer of your personal data.
To submit a request by email or post please use the contact information provided above.
If you would like to make a complaint about how your information is being used by us, or how your complaint has been handled, you have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the Information Commissioner’s Office or our Data Protection Officer. You can write to them at [email protected], or to the Information Commissioner’s Office at: Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF (or by email to <[email protected],uk>).
