Information you give us
During the course of opening and maintaining a Moneybox account, the information you give to us may include:
(a) Identity Data such as your name, date of birth, copies of personal identification documents (such as your passport or driving licence, which may also indicate ID numbers, nationality and sex) and photographs or other descriptions of your likeness. If you open a Moneybox Junior ISA, the information you give to us may also include the name and date of birth of your child.
(b) Contact Data such as your address, email address and telephone number (and in the case of a Moneybox Junior ISA, the address of your child).
(c) Financial Data such as your national insurance number, bank account and other financial details (and in the case of a Moneybox Junior ISA, the national insurance number of your child, if known).
(d) Transaction Data such as your transaction information (for example purchase item, price, location, date) if you use our ‘Round up Service’ (as defined in our Customer Terms & Conditions) and you may also provide your account credentials (such as user name and password) for your selected online banking account or payment card so that your account transactions can be accessed (on a read-only basis) to provide you with the Round up Service. Remember, you do not have to sign up to our Round up Service if you don’t want to. Over time, more and more banks and account providers will be in a position to participate in the government’s Open Banking initiative, enabling us to provide you with the Round up Service through a direct API connection. Where such an API connection exists, you will not need to provide your account credentials in the App to access the Round up Service, rather you will authorise access directly with your bank or account provider.
You may also provide us with certain information by filling in other forms, entering competitions or promotions or by corresponding with us by phone, email, text message or through our live in-App chat function.
We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race, ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health or your biometric or genetic information).

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where legally required to do so.

Out of the EEA
Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Areas (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by:
(a) only transferring your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
(b) using specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection is has in Europe (known as ‘model contracts’); or
(c) where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

Data retention
We will only keep 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, 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 and regulatory requirements.
