Money Advice Plus’ website provides 2 ways that individuals can directly provide us with data: a “contact us” form, and an online chat portal. Contacts via these routes will be classified as coming from one of the following, & will be dealt with as set out below:

  • Potential Clients (ie a request for advice)
  • Referrers/ partners
  • Potential employees (eg enquiring about a job, volunteering opportunities)
  • Supporters

Potential Clients:

In the event that we reply to a request for advice by giving advice, then an individual is classified as a client. This means a record of the contact & advice given will be kept in accordance with our procedures. Our client privacy notice is here Money Advice Plus Client Privacy Notice

We follow our safeguarding & confidentiality policies, confidentiality & disclosure Confidentiality Procedure

This means there may be certain circumstances in which we do not keep information confidential (eg safeguarding).

If we reply to a enquiry to say that we cannot help, or with signposting to another agency then data will be kept for only long enough for us to determine that we have dealt with the contact appropriately. (eg no longer than 24 months)

Referrers/ partners

Information will be dealt with & kept as appropriate and this is not personal data as covered by data protection act – unless it concerns a client (see above).

Potential employees (eg enquiring about a job, volunteering opportunities)

We will keep data only for long enough to determine that we have dealt with the enquiry as appropriate (usually no longer than 6 months).
