AI Input Zone

As part of the AI Input Zone, the FCA will collect and process your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018). The FCA acts as the data controller, and your data will be used specifically for the purpose of administering and managing your participation in the AI Input Zone.

We collect personal data, including but not limited to your name, email address, and organisation details to: 

• Allow us to follow-up with respondents if we have questions about your response.
• Verify your identity.
• Communicate updates and information about the AI Input Zone.

Lawful basis for us obtaining and using this personal data

We use this personal data under Article 6(1)(e) of the UK GDPR (it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest) and Section 8(c) of the DPA 2018 (processing necessary for the exercise of a function conferred on a person by an enactment or rule of law). Since some of these activities are entirely optional for an individual’s participation, Article 6(1)(e) would not be the appropriate lawful basis to rely on alone for processing in certain scenarios. In these circumstances, we also obtain appropriate consent from the individuals who participate in such activities, under the UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and/or Article 9(2)(a).

Data retention

We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined above, or as required by law.
Further information on our retention policy can be found in FCA’s privacy notice using the link below.

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to: 

• request access to, and deletion or correction of, information about you
• object to the way in which we use information about you
• request that your personal data be transferred to another organisation
• complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you are unhappy about the way we use information about you
• If you wish to find out what personal data, if any, we hold about you or if you wish to exercise any of your other privacy rights, you can contact our Information Disclosure Team. To enable us to process your request as quickly as possible, we will need you to provide us with some information about yourself.
