to make a complaint about the processing of your data and the Trustee as data controller to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Contact details for the Information Commissioner’s Office are at the end of this Notice. If you have given your consent to the use of your personal data (including sensitive data), you can withdraw that consent at any time. Please be aware that on exercising your rights, particularly your right to withdraw consent, have data deleted and your right to object to or restrict processing of your data, the Trustee may not be able to fulfil its obligations to you in relation to the Scheme in pursuance of its legitimate interests and that your entitlement to benefits may be affected. It may also be the case that the Trustee is able to confirm circumstances whereby your right is not going to be enforced, where it is legally acceptable to do so and the Trustee will, in that instance, confirm the reasons for that decision. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA TO OTHER COUNTRIES As indicated above, the Trustee provides information to certain third parties who either advise the Trustee or who provide services in relation to the Scheme. Certain of those parties have stated to the Trustee that, in providing the services they have been contracted to provide, they do or they may transfer data outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Where data is transferred outside either the EU or the EEA (or both), as stated previously, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal information. The Trustee has taken steps / caused relevant providers which consider themselves to be data controllers to ensure that, where data is transferred to one or more third countries outside the EU/ EEA, the countries to which data is transferred are deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information. GDPR AND THE UNITED KINGDOM’S EXIT FROM THE EU The Trustee notes that the GDPR came into force before 31 January 2020, the date on which the United Kingdom (UK) formally left the EU. Now that this country has left the EU, it is considered a “ third country ” for the purposes of data transfers and, as such, it is required to have “ adequate ” data protection in place. The UK Government confirmed, in 2017, that the UK would transpose the GDPR into its national laws. To this end, the Data Protection Act 2018 came into force on 25 May 2018.
