PRIVACY NOTICE
Introduction
This is the privacy statement of the Everyday Loans Group (Everyday Loans) which comprises of
Everyday Holdings Limited, Everyday Loans Limited and Everyday Lending Limited.
We understand that your privacy is extremely important to you. As a result we have put in
place a number of measures to ensure that any personal data we obtain from you is processed
and maintained in accordance with accepted principles of good information handling and also
in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. This statement provides you with details of
the type of information we may hold about you, how we obtain and use any information and how
we protect your privacy.
We may amend this privacy policy from time to time. This privacy policy was last updated on 24 March 2009.
Security of personal information
The security of personal information about you is our priority. We protect this information by maintaining
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that meet or exceed applicable law. We train our employees
in the proper handling of personal information. When we use other companies to provide services for us, we
require them to protect the confidentiality of personal information they receive. There has been an upsurge in
email 'phishing' activity, where fraudsters send emails to customers and using an array of deceptions,
encourage them to give out sensitive personal banking details.
Please note, that we will never ask you to send
your personal or security details or update them via email, and if you are ever asked to do so, please call us first.
Use of your Information
Credit Reference Agencies
When you apply to us for a loan we will make a search of your credit file with credit reference agencies.
We will use the information obtained in the credit reference searches to help us decide whether or
not to offer you credit. We may also use the information to satisfy us that the application has been
made by you and that the information provided on the application form is true.
Regardless of the outcome of the application, every time a search is made on your credit file, the details
of the credit search are recorded on your credit file. This information will subsequently be disclosed to
any other organisations that perform a credit check on you.
We will give details of your account and how you manage it to credit reference agencies. If you borrow from us
and do not repay in full or change address and fail to tell us about it, and payments are not made on time we
may inform credit reference agencies.
top >
Your Financial Associates
Your credit file may already be linked to records relating to other people with whom you have a financial association.
When we process your application you may be treated as financially linked with them and your application will be
assessed with reference to any such associated records.
If you are a joint applicant or you tell us that you are linked financially with another person, you are
declaring that you are entitled to:
(1) |
|
disclose information about that person and anyone else referred to by you; and |
|
|
|
(2) |
|
authorise us to search, link or record information at credit reference agencies about
you and anyone else referred to by you. |
Your financial associates will continue to show on your credit file until either you or one of your
financial associates successfully files for a disassociation with the credit reference agencies. We will
also link joint applicants in our own records. We will continue linking this information until the account
closes or is changed into a sole account and one of you notifies us that you are no longer linked.
Fraud Prevention and Detection
Everyday Loans may make searches of records held at fraud prevention agencies. If you give us false or
inaccurate information and we confirm fraud, we will record this and will pass this information to fraud
prevention agencies and other organisations to prevent fraud and money laundering.
We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud
prevention agencies.
Periodic Searches
We may make periodic searches of Everyday Loans Group records, credit reference and fraud prevention
agencies to manage your account with us and to take decisions regarding credit, including whether to
extend credit. These searches will not be seen or used by lenders outside the Everyday Loans Group.

Sharing your information
The information which we, other organisations and fraud prevention agencies provide to the credit
reference and fraud prevention agencies about you and your financial associates may be supplied by
the credit reference and fraud prevention agencies to other organisations and used by us and them
for example to:
(i) |
|
prevent fraud and money laundering, |
|
|
|
(ii) |
|
verify your identity if you or your financial associate applies for other
facilities including all types of insurance applications and claims, |

|
(iii) |

assist other organisations to make decisions on credit and credit related
services or other facilities, |
|

|
|
(v) |
|
checking details on applications for credit and managing credit and
credit related accounts and other facilities and |

|

(vi) |
|
undertake statistical analysis and system testing. |
If you have applied to us for insurance we will pass your details onto the insurer to enable it to provide the
insurance cover. We may also pass details of your account to the insurer for administration, claims handling and
fraud prevention.
If we are unable to provide you with credit we may pass on your application to a credit broker, another lender
or a debt management company who may be able to assist you in obtaining credit or other services that may be of
interest to you. The credit broker, other lender or debt management companies may also use your information to
offer products that they feel may be of interest to you.
If you do not want your information to be transferred in this way please contact us at the address below or
call us on 0845 337 9108 and we will ensure that your details are not passed onto such third parties.
If your application has been introduced to us by a credit broker or other third party we will pass information
about your application to the introducer.
In addition we may disclose your personal details to
(a) |
|
Our insurers, auditors, solicitors, professional advisers, sub contractors or
any person providing services to the Everyday Loans Group or who are involved in the loan
application, who have agreed to treat your personal details as confidential. |
|
|
|
(b) |
|
Any proposed or actual transferee of the mortgage, any funders of Everyday Loans Group
or any proposed or actual third party involved in any matter relating to the administration
of your loan with Everyday Loans Group who have agreed to treat your details as confidential. |

|
(c) |
|
Any body having a legal right to your personal information, including the police and any
other legal and regulatory authorities and government bodies. |

under any agreement or mortgage with us is being complied with and to ensure that any security
given in connection with any loan is not at risk. |

|
(e) |
|
Any other third party with your consent |
