The Highland Council Pension Fund already has procedures in place which comply with similar data protection principles under the Data Protection Act 1998. The new regulations will reinforce these existing requirements, and members are unlikely to notice a change in the service they receive from the Highland Council Pension Fund.
We have updated our privacy notice in line with the new requirements which sets out, among other things, why certain data is held, the reasons for processing the data, who the data is shared with and the period for which the data will be retained.
