NS&I Information Charter

NS&I is committed to safeguarding the privacy of any personal information about you that we need so that we can provide efficient services for you and to maintain our records. The NS&I principles below explain how we look after that information.

When we ask you for personal information, we promise:

• to only ask for what we need, and not to collect too much or irrelevant information;
• to protect it and make sure nobody has access to it who shouldn’t;
• to let you know if we share it with other organisations – and if you can say no;
• to never sell your data to another organisation;
• to update our records when you inform us that your details have changed;
• to train our staff on their privacy of information obligations;
• to continue to review and assess the quality of our data;
• to make sure we don’t keep it longer than necessary;

In return, we ask you to:

• give us accurate information; and
• tell us as soon as possible if your personal information has changed, such as a new address or change of name.

This helps us to keep your information reliable and up to date.

You can get more details on:

• how to find out what information we hold about you and how to ask us to correct any mistakes;
• agreements we have with other organisations for sharing information;
• circumstances where we can pass on your personal information without telling you, for example, to prevent and detect crime or to produce anonymised statistics;
• our instructions to staff on how to collect, use and delete your personal information;
• how we check the information we hold is accurate and up to date; and
• how to make a complaint
