7. Why is personal data collected by us

Credx.co.uk collect personal data for a number of reasons

From time to time, we may contact you to ask for your consent to use your personal data for other
purposes. Your personal data may also be used for other purposes where required or permitted by
law.

When we and fraud prevention agencies process your personal data, we do so on the basis that we
have a legitimate interest in preventing fraud and money laundering, and to verify identity, in
order to protect our business and to comply with laws that apply to us. Such processing is also
a contractual requirement of the services or financing you have requested. We, and fraud
prevention agencies, may also enable law enforcement agencies to access and use your personal
data to detect, investigate and prevent crime. Fraud prevention agencies can hold your personal
data for different periods of time, and if you are considered to pose a fraud or money
laundering risk, your data can be held for up to six years.

In order to process your application, we may supply your personal information to credit reference
agencies (CRAs) in which case they will give us information about you, such as about your
financial history. We do this to assess your creditworthiness and product suitability, check
your identity, manage your account, trace and recover debts and prevent criminal activity. When
CRAs receive a search from us they may place a search footprint on your credit file that may be
seen by other lenders and used to assess applications for finance from you and members of your
household. The CRA may also share your personal information with other organisations. We may
also continue to exchange information about you with CRAs on an ongoing basis, including about
your settled accounts and any debts not fully repaid on time. CRAs will share your information
with other organisations. Your data will also be linked to the data of your spouse, any joint
applicants or other financial associates. We can provide you with the identities of the CRAs and
the ways in which they use and share personal information upon your request.

From time to time, we may provide your information to our partners, third parties and customer
service agencies for research and analysis purposes so that we can monitor and improve the
services (or as the case may be) we provide. We may contact you by post, e-mail or telephone (or
as required) to ask you for your feedback and comments on our services (or as the case may be).

We may also contact you about our other goods or services that may be of interest to you.

  • Process your application and manage your request.
