Dragonsavers Credit Union Privacy Notice – Junior Accounts

This notice provides information about how Dragonsavers Credit Union (“Credit Union”) collects, processes and shares your personal data.

For the purposes of the applicable data protection law including the Data Protection Act 1998 and, from its entry into force on 25 May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“Data Protection Law”), Dragonsavers Credit Union, 107 Bute Street, Treorchy, CF42 6AU is the Data Processor and Data Controller of the information it collects from you.

Should you have any queries or require further information please contact General Manager Christina Stoneman on 01443777043, enquiries@dragonsavers.org or by post using the address above

The credit union needs to have and keep some information about you and your account trustee to open and account and for you for the account to be used. The credit union also needs some information for legal reasons to make sure the people who are opening the account are who they say they are.

A trustee is the adult responsible for your account with the credit union until you are 18.

We will only ask for the information we need and will only keep it as long as we need to. If we are not able to get all of the information we need, we may not be able to open an account for you. If we need any other information, we will ask for your permission to have it and keep it and tell you exactly why we need it and for how long.

How we collect your information

The Credit Union will collect personal information about you throughout your dealings with the Credit Union on the forms completed by your account trustee or you and through any letters or emails your account trustee or you send us. This includes for example:

Full Name
Date of Birth
Address
E-mail address
Contact telephone number
Gender
National Insurance Number (If it is a Child Trust Fund Account)
Bank details
- Trustee for your account for your account – Name, address, contact number, relationship to you
  - Any other information provided to the Credit Union in contact us forms or through letter or emails

How we use your personal information

The reason we need your information and what we do with it, depends on what the information is and why we have asked for it. We need to do this for one of the reasons below:

For legal reasons

confirm your identity
confirm the identity of your trustee
because the credit union has to make sure that all accounts are protected against financial crime

For genuine (legitimate) reasons

carry out checks on accounts to make sure they are correct
record basic information about you on a register of members
consider any applications made by you or your trustee;
look at the accounts we have to decide if they are offering the right things and decide if we need to make any changes or improvements
maintain our relationship with you

For performance of our contract with you

to send you statements, new terms & conditions, information about changes to the way your account(s) operate
deal with how your account(s) are run or any other services we provide to you;

Sharing your personal information

We would not usually have to give any of the information we have to anyone else outside the credit union. There may be times, for legal reasons that we have to. These times are listed below:

to confirm you or your trustee are who you say you are to meet anti money laundering rules.
If we have to do so by law e.g. to HM Revenue & Customs for tax reasons (there is usually no tax to pay on children’s accounts)
to any authorities if it is the law
to fraud prevention agencies to help prevent crime or where we suspect fraud;
to anyone in connection with a reorganisation or merger of the credit union’s business

Where we send your information

All of your information held by the credit union will be kept in UK or Europe (European Economic Area). However, if we have to send your data to anyone else, they may also process, transfer and share it for the purposes set out above and in limited circumstances this may involve sending your information to countries where data protection laws do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK.

For example, when complying with international tax regulations we may be required to report personal information to the HM Revenue and Customs which may transfer than information to tax authorities in countries where you or a connected person may be tax resident.

Retaining your information

The credit union will need to hold your information for various lengths of time depending on what we use your data for. In many cases we will hold this information for a period of time after you have left the credit union.
