Customer: ANSAC Credit Union
As part of our Data Protection Officer services for ANSAC Credit Union we documented a marketing policy to ensure that the lawful basis for processing was clear for all marketing activities. Marketing in this context was undertaken by the Credit Union on the basis of consent or legitimate interest. For all Legitimate Interest marketing we documented a legitimate interest assessment to ensure that the legitimate interest being pursued by the Credit Union does not outweigh the individual’s right to privacy. The Marketing Policy provides a clear approach for staff to use when undertaking any marketing activity to ensure that the legal basis can be relied upon in each case.
When looking to outsource the DPO role I needed to ensure that whoever we chose we could work with. I find the team in Fort Privacy very approachable and all queries from us are explained in clear English. All work is completed in a timely manner and in consultation with our team here in ANSAC. I have no hesitation in recommending Fort Privacy as an outsourced Data Protection Officer or for once off reviews in relation to Data protection and compliance.

My personal favourite old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times," feels particularly relevant these days. Our world is changing, with both exciting possibilities and daunting challenges emerging on every front. Change, after all, is a double-edged sword. And amidst this whirlwind of change, a new force is rapidly taking shape: Artificial Intelligence.
As a technologist, I am both excited and appalled at the developments in AI and it seems from various surveys that I am not alone. My greatest wish is that we can harness its power for good while dampening its power for misuse. It is early days yet – let’s hope this wish comes true!
Everyone loves a quiz so we decided we would kick-off the new year with a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun.
