Last updated: 14 May 2026

Our Commitment to GDPR

MoneyWise Youth is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018. This page outlines how we comply with these regulations and your rights under them.

Data Controller

MoneyWise Youth acts as the data controller for the personal information we collect. We are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you.

Contact details:
Email: [email protected]
Address: 87 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2BW, United Kingdom

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following lawful bases:

  • Consent: When you provide explicit consent for us to process your data, such as when registering for our programmes
  • Contract: When processing is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to provide services
  • Legal obligation: When we must process data to comply with legal requirements
  • Legitimate interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided this doesn't override your rights and freedoms

Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. We will provide you with a copy of this data upon request.

Right to Rectification

If you believe any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when it's no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to restrict how we use your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while we investigate a concern you've raised about accuracy.

Right to Data Portability

Where technically feasible, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format and transmit it to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where we rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under GDPR, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. We will respond within one month of receiving your request.

You are not required to pay any fee unless your request is clearly unfounded or excessive. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity.

Data Protection for Children

We take special care with personal data relating to children. We require parental consent before collecting or processing any personal data about children under 16 years of age. Parents and guardians can exercise all GDPR rights on behalf of their children.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security assessments
  • Access controls limiting who can view personal data
  • Staff training on data protection
  • Secure backup procedures

Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours and inform affected individuals without undue delay.

International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal requirements. Specific retention periods include:

  • Programme registration data: up to 3 years after last interaction
  • Email correspondence: up to 2 years
  • Financial records: as required by UK tax law (typically 6 years)

Complaints

If you're not satisfied with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:

Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

Telephone: 0303 123 1113
