Privacy notice for professional members
At the IAB we’re committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We will always hold your information securely. To prevent unauthorised disclosure or access to your information, we have implemented strong physical and electronic security safeguards.
With the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into force on 25th May 2018 we want to ensure you are aware of the information we currently hold about you and how we use this information.
The bases on which we process your personal information
The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.
If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data.
If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.
The bases we will process your personal information under are:
- Contractual obligation: We process your information in order to service our contract with you as a professional member.
- Legitimate interests: Some of your information will be processed in relation to marketing communications to make you aware of the benefits and services available to you as part of your professional membership. We may also contact you about relevant events which have either been arranged by the IAB or third parties we work with which may be of interest to you.
- Legal obligation: As an approved supervisor under the Money Laundering Regulations we do have a duty to process your information, if you are a member in practice, in order to comply with legal For example, if you act as a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) we are required to add your personal details to the TCSP register which is hosted by HMRC. There may be other scenarios when we may be required to pass on your personal information to legal or tax authorities.
How do we use your information?
We use your information in relation to your professional membership and the support and benefits you receive as a result of this. We will also use your information in the following ways:
- to send marketing communications to you to make you aware of benefits and services available to you as part of your professional membership
- to invite you to participate in surveys in relation to your membership or on other areas where we would like your feedback and input
- to inform you about relevant events which have either been arranged by the IAB or third parties we work with which may be of interest to you
Where you have provided us with special category data, such as ethnicity, processing will be carried out with appropriate safeguards and on condition that the processing relates solely to your membership. Special category data will not be disclosed outside of the IAB without your prior consent.
Your information is stored securely on our systems. There are third parties who we share your information with in relation to the benefits and support you receive as part of your membership. The third parties we share your details with are:
Croner-i: We provide them with your name, membership number and email address. This is used so they can send you directly a technical e-newsletter, called Small Practitioner, provided by Croner-i. This invaluable and informative newsletter is specifically designed for the small practitioner and will ensure you are kept up to date with the latest developments affecting you, your employer or your clients. You can opt out from receiving this newsletter if you wish.
You are also able to opt into access the free version of Accountancy Daily which provides unlimited access to news stories, technical alerts and email newsletters. You can manage which emails and alerts you receive or opt out from receiving these communications if you are already opted in.
Holbrooks Printers: Holbrooks send our quarterly printed magazine to you. We provide them with your name, membership number, designatory letters and postal address so they can print and send this directly to you.
AMLCC: If you are registered as a Firm in practice under the Money Laundering Regulations and hold a Certificate of AML Supervision or Practising Certificate with the IAB, then you get free access to AMLCC. AMLCC is an online compliance system that makes it easier to comply with the regulations by providing the structure and framework for professionals to stay compliant. You are not automatically subscribed to use AMLCC. Instead, we will send AMLCC your name, company name, membership number and IAB designatory letters so they can set up a discount code for you to use. You will then be required to visit AMLCC’s website and register to use the system at which point you would enter your discount code so that you aren’t charged.
Assessors: We have several experienced assessors who work for the IAB. We may share your personal information with them if you are a Firm in practice and supervised by the IAB under the Money Laundering Regulations. Our responsibilities under the regulations require us to carry out telephone assessments or visits to your place of work so we can carry out an assessment at your premises. If you are selected for an assessment you will be notified of this by the IAB and we will send your details to the assessor who has been assigned to you.
Any other communications from third parties are sent to you directly by the IAB.
Should you not wish to receive the communications sent to you as part of your membership, you can opt out of receiving these by following the opt out links at the bottom of the communications sent.
