If you are the borrower, we will share relevant data with the guarantor (where product appropriate). We may also share your personal data with any of the following categories of third party. Any such sharing data will be under a contract requiring compliance with rules protecting your privacy:

  • Business partners who we use to provide support services such as providers of postal or other data processing services.
  • Agents who we use to perform our contracts.
  • Collection agencies who we use to collect monies due if you fail to pay us.
  • Advertisers and advertising networks.

  • Business partners from which we require services such as our banks.

The personal information we have collected from you will be shared with fraud prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud and money-laundering and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services, finance, or employment. Further details of how your information will be used by us and these fraud prevention agencies, and your data protection rights, can be found by clicking here.

How we protect your data

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.

If you have received a phishing email, we advise you to forward the email to phishing@everyday-loans.co.uk and we will investigate it.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We need to collect personal data from you for performance of a contract and for compliance with our legal obligations. You may refuse to provide us with your personal data at any time in our relationship because you object to such processing but if you do so we will not be able to provide you with credit or may have to terminate our relationship with you. If you do withdraw consent where we have asked for it this will not invalidate the use of your personal data prior to the withdrawal.

Sending Personal Data outside the UK

We may send your personal data outside the UK in order to enable us to perform the contract, comply with a legal obligation or where we have a legitimate interest in so doing. Before we send any personal data to an organisation outside the UK we will make sure it is protected to the same or similar standards as if it was being used within the UK by means of contracts between us and the overseas processor or in reliance on the Information Commissioner’s finding of that country having adequate data protection provisions in place.

Automated Decision Making and Profiling

Prior to any loan (or guarantee) being agreed with you we will use your personal data to make automated decisions. This is done in order to determine whether we wish to enter into a contract with you and to determine your creditworthiness in the quickest, fairest and most legally compliant way using credit scoring and past payment history to predict future performance. We will also monitor your account using automated means for fraud detection and crime prevention purposes.

The automated decision may result in us declining your loan (or guarantee) application altogether or offering a lesser amount than that sought.

We regularly test our credit scoring model to ensure it is working appropriately and accurately.

If you are dissatisfied with the result of this automated processing you have the right to seek an explanation and request a person review the decision.

Sharing your data with Credit Reference and Fraud Prevention Agencies

In order to process your application, we will perform credit and identity checks on you (and any guarantors) with one or more credit reference and fraud prevention agencies (“CR/FPAs”).

To do this, we will supply your personal information to CR/FPAs and they will give us information about you. This will include information from your application and about your financial situation and financial history. CR/FPAs will supply to us both public (including the electoral register) and shared credit, financial situation and financial history information and fraud prevention information.

We will use this information to:

  • Assess your creditworthiness and whether you can afford to take the product
  • Verify the accuracy of the data you have provided to us
  • Prevent criminal activity, fraud and money laundering
  • Manage your account(s)
  • Trace and recover debts
  • Ensure any offers provided to you are appropriate to your circumstances

We will continue to exchange information about you with CR/FPAs while you have a relationship with us. We will also inform the CR/FPAs about your settled accounts. If you borrow and do not repay in full and on time, CRA/FPs will record the outstanding debt. We will also report the guarantor (where product appropriate) in the event they do not repay the same after we request payment. This information may be supplied to other organisations by CR/FPAs.

When CRAs receive a search from us they will place a search footprint on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders. If we notify them of criminal activity on your account they will keep a record of this which may result in other organisations refusing to provide you with services or employment.

If you are making a joint application, or tell us that you have a spouse or financial associate, we will link your records together, so you should make sure you discuss this with them, and share with them this information, before lodging the application. CRAs will also link your records together and these links will remain on your and their files until such time as you or your partner successfully files for a disassociation with the CRAs to break that link.

The identities of the CRAs, their role also as fraud prevention agencies, the data they hold, the ways in which they use and share personal information, data retention periods and your data protection rights with the CRAs are explained in more detail at www.callcredit.co.uk/crain and www.equifax.co.uk/crain and www.experian.co.uk/legal/crain

Data Retention

We will process your personal data for either as long as you (or the guarantor) have a contractual relationship with us or you continue to owe us any repayments.
