Support and Vulnerabilities – A Policy on a Page, Shaped by Customers
You Said, We Did
How Your Feedback Made a Difference
At Citizen, we want to make sure we listen to our customers and make changes when we can.
In October 2025, we asked customers how they felt about sharing personal information with us. This included information such as health needs, vulnerabilities, contact preferences, age and background.
Customers told us that they wanted to understand:
- Why we ask for personal information
- How their information is used
- Who can see it
- How it is kept safe
- How sharing information could help us support them better
We listened to your feedback and worked with customers to make improvements.
What We Changed
Making information easier to understand

We updated our policy to explain how your information is protected and who can access it when they need to support you.
Only asking for information that matters
You said:
Some questions felt very personal, and you wanted us to explain why we were asking them.
We did:
We reviewed the information we collect and made sure we only ask for information that is relevant and useful. We also explain why we ask for it and how it can help.
Being fair and supportive
You said:
You wanted to be treated fairly and have your individual needs considered.
We did:
We updated our approach to make sure fairness sits at the centre of our Vulnerability Policy. Our policy explains how we consider individual circumstances and make reasonable adjustments when needed.
Making it easier to update your details
You said:
You wanted simple ways to update your information.
We did:
We made it clear how you can update your details through the methods you prefer, including in person, by email or through My Account.
What Happened Next?
Using your feedback, we worked together with customers to create a new Policy on a Page about support and vulnerabilities.
This gives clear and simple information about:
- What information we may ask for
- Why we ask for it
- How it helps us support you
- How your information is kept safe
These changes mean we can be more open, more supportive and make it easier for customers to understand how their information is used.
