It's also why we've developed a comprehensive data privacy compliance programme. Our Trust Centre helps us to deliver on our commitment to the data protection principles, and in particular, that of lawfulness, fairness and transparency.

Joint Controller Issue
For data protection purposes, actuarial firms and individual scheme actuaries (as specialist service providers) may be considered to be ‘joint controllers’ of personal data, together with the pension schemes’ trustees. The actuarial firm, scheme actuary and the trustees need to agree their respective responsibilities. You can find out more on the Joint Controller issue in our sixty second summary.
