How we look after your data

First Actuarial needs to hold some of your personal information in order for you to be able to use the Retirement Planner.

This is all so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.

We realise this notice is quite long, so we’ve tried to help by summarising the main points here, but it would still be really useful for you to read the notice in full:
