Terms and Conditions

Introduction to My Dashboard - Terms and conditions

Due to the fact that general pension information alone may not be sufficient to estimate or even remember your pension claims, FindyourPension (FYP) has decided to upgrade its website with a Personal Section, called My Dashboard. My Dashboard will enable you to use additional functions. The My Dashboard functionality aims to support you in keeping track of your individual pension as well as your career biography.

The My Dashboard functionality is divided into two main parts, the pension overview and the recommendation section. The pension overview will enable you to add pension providers you have been affiliated with to your provider list. Additionally, the pension overview includes a feature, My Payout, which allows you to add up your pension entitlements, separated and sorted according to the different pension sources (state and occupational pension systems). You can fill in the requested amounts with the help of your pension statements. Of course, FYP neither does guarantee any pension entitlements nor provides pension forecasting.

Based on the information you state regarding your pension history, we provide recommendations on your next steps towards your pension pay-out. Saving the recommendations you receive from us automatically creates a clickable action list. This way, you get orientation with regard to optimizing your personal pension situation.

However, the additional functions will only be available through registration either via PIN or via the entry of your name (first and last name) your email address, the date of birth, the country of birth, place of birth. 

The personal data is requested to enable the use of the Pension tracker, which will soon be available for Belgium. The user of the Pension Tracker has to be authenticated according to the eIDAS („electronic Identification, Authentication and trust Services“) framework. Therefore the purpose of the personal data is to simplify the costumer journey.

Until additional countries are available you are welcome to provide the following data (date of birth, country of birth, place of birth) voluntarily or even use a dummy.

The features available on My Dashboard differ depending on the LOGIN mechanism which is used. 
 

Please note:

Future developments regarding interest rates, tax regulations, inflation or price fluctuations make any kind of projection unsecure, however, you should be able to estimate your further pension now, in a couple of years and when you are at retirement age.

Especially when moving around you should keep track with all your pension providers, you have been insured with, in order to never forget “who will pay your pension some day ...”

Moreover, you will find more information about your pension providers responsible on the Pension ABCs presented on the open section of the FYP website. Please be aware that you need to distinguish between the state and the occupational pension scheme. State pension providers are coloured as a green temple, occupational pension providers as a blue office building.

FYP would like to assist in having a better estimate of your later pension. That’s why FYP designed a feature, My Payout, which allows you to add up your pension entitlements, separated and sorted according to the different pension sources (state and occupational pension systems). You can fill in the requested amounts with the help of your pension statements. 

Please note:

Not only pension schemes are different but also the way pension statements are presented. On some pension statements you can find a monthly pension amount, on some a yearly pension amount and on others a once and all payment being the capital value. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the different pension amounts. 

The Pension Summary only bases on the data you have entered. FYP neither checked the correctness of the data selected, entered or manually typed in nor wants to be liable for any value summarized in the chart “My Payout”.
