Website availability and information

We will make every effort to provide you with continuous access to the 4mystaff website but cannot guarantee its availability at any time. If you are unable to access the website and need to use the functionality it provides, please call 0117 937 8700 and speak to your Account Manager.

4mystaff is provided on an ‘information only’ basis. We will use reasonable effort to ensure the information provided through 4mystaff is current and correct. However, we cannot guarantee that all information will be error free. In particular, certain information may be based on that provided by a third party and we are not liable for any inaccuracies, errors or omissions in the information they have provided.

Employee data

4mystaff can in certain cases provide access to employee and pension scheme membership summaries and reports. These reports are made available using standardised code that relies on the data being complete and being held consistently. In some instances Broadstone has to store data on its administration system in a non-standard way to meet the particular design features of the scheme. Broadstone occasionally holds data in other media (for instance in bespoke databases) or there may be data omissions (for instance where the previous administrator has provided data in hard-copy format only).

The data provided in these reports should not, therefore, be used as a basis for undertaking any actions without first seeking confirmation from Broadstone that the data is suitable for such action. Broadstone cannot be held liable for any expense, liability, loss, or penalty resulting from the use of such data.

Users agree to comply with the terms of the European Union Data Protection legislation (and in particular the General Data Protection Regulation) when accessing any data made available through 4mystaff.

Accessing data outside of the European Economic Area (“the EEA”)

All data made available through 4mystaff is hosted and maintained within the UK. 4mystaff users are able to access data from outside of the EEA, i.e. within territories that are not subject to European Union Data Protection legislation. Through using 4mystaff, users who access data outside of the EEA agree to remain subject to the terms of the European Union Data Protection legislation (and in particular the General Data Protection Regulation) and agree to comply with the safeguarding provisions of that legislation as though the data were accessed within the EEA.
