Husky Finance, a trading name of Financial SatNav Limited (referred to below as "Husky"/"we"/"us"/"our"), is a company registered in England and Wales under registered number 08071637, with our registered office at Gloucester House, Church Walk, Burgess Hill, West Sussex RH15 9AS, UK and our operational London office at 10 Finsbury Square, London EC2A 1AF.
Husky operates a number of websites to provide its services, all under the top-level domain huskyfinance.com. This policy refers to huskyfinance.com and all its sub-domains.
Under the UK data protection framework, Husky is the Data Processor for personal information provided by Husky customers; Husky customers (i.e. employers) remain the Data Controller for the personal data of their employees. Husky does not operate any joint controller arrangements with any other party at this time.
All Husky hosted services which store personal data (including huskyfinance.com) are hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, currently in the North Europe region (based in Dublin, Ireland). (This is with the exception of resources.huskyfinance.com and answers.huskyfinance.com, which are hosted by a third party on Digital Ocean servers in New York. Neither of these properties hold personal information relating to Husky customers.) All personal data is currently maintained within Microsoft’s Dublin facility.
The huskyfinance.com website and its sub-domains are intended for use by businesses; Husky is a business-to-business (B2B) service. With the exception of getstarted.huskyfinance.com, resources.huskyfinance.com and answers.huskyfinance.com, the sub-domains of huskyfinance.com that make up the Husky service are intended for use only by paying Husky customers and their agents. Any contact information held by Husky on its systems, beyond that provided by customers as part of the day-to-day running of the service, is held on the basis that it relates to business entities, and not to individuals outside of a B2B context.
By way of a separate method of access, individuals (in the capacity as employees) receive and provide information via a mobile application, known as the "Husky for Everyone" application, for the purposes of access by an employee to their own pension administration data.
Access to Husky services is currently made available through either the Husky websites (via the huskyfinance.com domain and its sub-domains), or through the "Husky for Everyone" application.
The Husky service (including the huskyfinance.com website) is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16, you should leave the site immediately. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@huskyfinance.com. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.
We collect information in the following ways:
Information you or your agents give us. Husky collects information from employers and/or their agents in order to set up and operate workplace pensions on behalf of the employers' workers.

Husky collects information about the services that you use and how you use them, either directly or by means of third-party services such as Google Analytics (see below).

Husky also collects information about your operating environment, including browser type and version, device type, operating system type and version, in order to assist in the event of a support query. As part of its support infrastructure Husky may also collect information relating to individuals’ service use in its log files. Husky systems may use cookies and similar technologies to record information – see the company's Cookie Policy for further information.
Note that Husky does not currently employ any automated processing profiling techniques on individuals' data.

Notifies the Pensions Regulator and the Information Commissioner's office, by email
Provides information on the breach on the company’s website
All notifications are to be made within 72 hours but will typically be made as soon as an impact assessment has been made, i.e. same day or next day.

Individuals may request copies of their personal data held by Husky by email to dpo@huskyfinance.como. It is the Data Protection Officer’s responsibility to ensure that the request is a valid one from the individual concerned, and the DPO may contact the individual's current or previous employer in order to verify this.
