| WHAT ABOUT SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA? | Unless we are processing because it is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, we will only process sensitive personal data, such as data concerning health, with your explicit and informed consent for specific processing activities. In such cases you will be asked to sign a separate consent form to evidence this and that you understand the purpose(s) of the processing of such data. Your consent may be withdrawn at any time. |

| PROCESSING WHEN PERFORMING A TASK CARRIED OUT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST | We will use your personal data to protect members of the public against dishonesty, money laundering or fraudulent activities.

Appropriate security measures are in place to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, damage or destruction of your information. If we have a contract with another organisation to provide us with services or a service on our behalf to process your personal information, we’ll make sure they give reassurances regarding appropriate security measures in place and only process your data in the way we’ve authorised them to. These organisations won’t be entitled to use your personal data for their own purposes. If necessary, our security teams will check them to make sure they meet the security requirements we’ve set. Please contact our Data Protection Officer below if you would like further information. |
| WILL WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH ANYONE ELSE? | We may share your data with:
· Appropriate staff such as those who carry out financial or compliance functions. · Organisations that need your data because we are required to provide it by law (e.g. The FCA, ombudsman services, HMRC, etc… · Organisations that carry out credit references or identity checks such as GB Group Plc or CreditSafe Business Solutions Ltd. These organisations may keep a record of the information and may disclose the fact that a search of its records was made to its other customers for the purposes of assessing the risk of giving credit, to prevent fraud and to trace debtors. · Sometimes other authorised firms with specialist advisers, such as pension specialists, who assist us in providing suitable financial advice and services. You will be provided with their details if this applies. · Law enforcement agencies, courts or other public authorities if we have to, or are authorised to by law. · Product providers we use to provide financial services or for direct marketing (see below). · Where we or our Principal go through a business transaction, such as a merger, being acquired by another company or selling a portion of its assets, your data will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. |
| TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE UK / EUROPEAN UNION | We do not usually transfer any of your personal data outside of the UK or EU except when we need to perform pre-contractual measures (credit and identity checks) or because the checks we request are necessary for important reasons of public interest. Some companies, like Creditsafe Business Solutions Ltd, may transfer data outside of the EU to countries which do not, in the view of the EU Commission, offer an adequate level of protection. In such cases Creditsafe encrypts any data it sends to other agencies and only transfers information necessary to carry out checks. (A list of countries used to perform checks include Germany, Netherland, Belgium, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Spain, USA, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Austria, Denmark, Moldova, Portugal, Italy, Canada, Brazil, Greenland, China, India, Australia, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand, Hong Kong, UK.)

| WHAT ABOUT DIRECT MARKETING? | We will use your personal data now and in the future to carry out direct marketing activities as these are legitimate interests pursued by us. Sometimes this includes, with your consent, sharing data with product providers for their marketing activities. You can choose which method you’d prefer us to use to contact you (by email, telephone, SMS or post) and you have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal data for this purpose and we will cease marketing activity. Just let the person who gave you this form know about your preferences. |
| AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES | We sometimes use automated processes when making decisions but you will not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling. |

| REQUESTING A COPY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA WE HOLD | You may at any time ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you – it is your legal right. We will provide you with a copy of any non-exempt personal data within one month unless we ask you for an extension of time. To protect your personal data, we will ask you to verify your identity before we release any data. We may refuse your request if we are unable to confirm your identity. |
| IMPORTANT RIGHTS | You have the right, on grounds relating to your situation, at any time to object to processing which is carried out as part of our legitimate interests or in the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
