People who make a complaint to us (EU & UK residents)

If we receive a complaint from a person this is logged and an assessment undertaken. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint. We will only use the personal information we collect to investigate the complaint and provide a conclusion to the complainant. We usually disclose the complainant’s identity to whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where the accuracy of the complaint is in dispute however, if a complainant doesn’t want information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that.

We will keep personal information contained in complaint logs and supporting information in line with our retention policy. This means that information relating to a complaint will be retained for three years from closure. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘need to know’ principle.
