Important information and who we are
This is the Privacy Policy for “Money Dashboard”. Money Dashboard is an Account Information Service Provider (AISP). Our service is provided at www.moneydashboard.com and associated mobile applications. It allows you to see all your online banking accounts in one place, and analyses your account information and transactions to help you spend, save and borrow more efficiently (which we refer to in this policy as our “service” or “services”).
Money Dashboard is owned and operated by Money Dashboard Limited. Our company number is SC301187. Our registered office is at Suite 2, Ground Floor, Orchard Brae House, 30 Queensferry Road, Edinburgh, EH4 2HS.
When we refer to our trading name “Money Dashboard” or “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy, we are referring to the Money Dashboard Limited. We are the data ‘controller’ in relation to the personal data you provide to us, which means we determine the purposes and the way in which your personal data is, or will be, processed.
Purpose of this privacy policy
This policy aims to give you information on how we collect and process any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us. We want you to be confident when you use our service that you know what your personal data is being used for, and that it is being kept safe.
It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you, so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy policy supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.
How to contact us
If there is anything you don’t understand or you’re not happy about, please get in touch with us by:
If you have any concerns
You will always have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory body. The relevant authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner's Office. However, if you do have a complaint, we would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns first, so please do contact us in the first instance.
How is your personal data collected?
We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:
Information Which We May Collect
We may collect and process the following information about you:
How we use your information
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.
Please note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the table below.
You may control your subscriptions to any of the above marketing content notifications via the Settings feature of our service.
The information we may give to or share with somebody else
We may share your personal information in the following ways:
International transfers
Some of our external third parties are based outside the UK so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside of the UK.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
Your rights
Under certain circumstances, you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at support@moneydashboard.com. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Access to your information
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information which we hold on you (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Correcting personal data
You have the right to request that we correct personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data that you provide to us.
Deleting personal data
You may ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. This is more commonly known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
Please note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request to delete or remove personal data for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Objecting to processing
You have the right to stop us processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. We will always inform you if we intend to use your personal data for such purposes, or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can usually exercise your right to prevent such marketing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at support@moneydashboard.com.
You may also object to us processing your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Restriction of processing
This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
Transferring your personal data
In certain circumstances, you may request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Please note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdrawing consent
Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data you can withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
How long we keep your data
We will only retain your personal data 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.
We will normally retain your information for a period of 30 days after your account is deactivated or 30 days after your information is no longer needed to provide you with our services. After this period, the data will be deleted from our systems and we will be unable to access it. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data sooner: see Deleting personal data above for further information. If you do wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services, please contact us at support@moneydashboard.com.
As an FCA regulated firm, we have statutory obligations to retain records with respect to the financial services we have provided to you, or introduced to you. Such records will be retained for the shorter of either 12 months beyond the conclusion of the financial service provided, or 5 years. If you cancel your account with us, these statutory records will be archived, and all other information will be deleted.
Where we anonymise your personal data (i.e. so that it can no longer be associated with you) for further research or statistical purposes, then we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Security
Please see our full security policy at https://www.moneydashboard.com/security/
The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
