We only collect, use and store your information where we have lawful grounds and legitimate business reasons to do so.

We collect, use and store your personal information in order to fulfil services as part of our provision of the central borrowing register. It may also be used to verify your identity where required.

The use of your data is essential for us to provide a login to the central borrowing register.

If you do not provide the information required we are unlikely to be able to provide certain services to you.

We may monitor calls, emails, text messages and other communications with you. When you contact us we may keep a record of that correspondence and any information provided to us during that or any subsequent communication.

Marketing
We do not use any of the information provided to us for marketing purposes unless you have provided your consent.

Nature of personal information
Personal data is any information that may identify a living individual.
We collect personal information such as name, email address, contact details, and other personal details that may depend on the nature of the services we are providing to you.

This information may be shared with our third-party service providers. Where necessary, we shall obtain your consent to the processing of such information.

Sharing information
We will only supply your personal information to other parties where such a transfer is a necessary part of the activities that we undertake, where you give us consent or where we are required to do so by law or regulation (e.g. where the disclosure is necessary for the purposes of the prevention and/or detection of crime). Examples of other parties include regulatory bodies, legal and accountancy firms and other advisors.

We may also disclose your information to service providers engaged to perform services on our behalf. Such service providers are contractually restricted from using or disclosing the information we give them except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.

We only share your information if we are satisfied that our partners or suppliers have sufficient measures in place to protect your information in the same way that we do.

We may also disclose personal information to new owners of our business in the event that we are subject to a merger or acquisition. Disclosure may also be made to enable company audits, regulatory inspections or to investigate a complaint, suspicion of fraud or a security threat.

We never share your information outside our organisation for marketing purposes.

You understand that we may disclose the information you provide to relevant other parties for the purposes described in this Notice.

We will never sell, rent or trade your information under any circumstances.

Transfer of personal data outside the UK

By providing us with your information, you consent to the collection, international transfer, storage, and processing of your information. These transfers are governed by relevant data transfer agreements to protect the security and confidentiality of personal information.

How long we keep information about you
We will keep your information for as long as it is required to enable us to provide our services to you. Once we decide that we no longer need your information it will be securely and confidentially destroyed. This will usually be a minimum period of seven years or as otherwise determined by law or regulation.
