Further information about how we use your personal information and our basis for doing so
We will only use and share your information where it is necessary for us to carry out our lawful business activities. Your information may be shared with and processed by other Group companies. We want to ensure that you fully understand how your information may be used. We have described the purposes for which your information may be used in detail in a table below:

Sometimes we use your personal information in automated processes to make decisions about you, such as credit scoring or for the prevention of fraud. We might also use automated processes to create a profile of you for these purposes. We do this to help ensure decisions are made accurately, fairly and efficiently and to offer you products and services tailored to you and to reduce the risk of fraud.
Further information on when we use automated processes and the logic, significance and consequences of these processes for you.
Credit scoring
We use automated decision making using your personal information to create a profile of you for credit scoring – a method which predicts your credit worthiness based on your financial profile.
To carry out credit scoring we use information you give to us, information we obtain from credit reference agencies, and details about how you have used other products and services you have with us or the Group (for example how you are making repayments on other credit products). In some cases we will also use external data sources for credit scoring. See 9.2 of this Privacy Notice for a list of credit reference agencies we use. We analyse this information to identify a credit score based on how likely it is that debts will be re-paid.
We use credit scoring to make the following decisions about you:
Profiling for marketing
We want to ensure that you get the most relevant information about our products and services at the right time. The most effective way for us to do this is to use automated processes to create a profile of you for marketing.
We use processes to analyse your personal information to decide what products and services to offer to you and to prioritise the marketing messages you receive by:
Further information about credit reference agencies.
The data we exchange with credit reference agencies can include the following categories:
We will use this information to:
We will also inform the credit reference agencies about your settled accounts. If you borrow and do not repay in full and on time, credit reference agencies will record the outstanding debt. This information may be supplied to other organisations by credit reference agencies.
When credit reference agencies receive a search from us they will place a search footprint on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders.
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. Credit reference agencies 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 credit reference agencies to break that link.
If false or inaccurate information is provided and/or fraud or financial crime is identified or suspected, details will be passed to fraud and financial crime prevention agencies. Law enforcement agencies and other organisations may access and use this information. Fraud and financial crime prevention agencies may allow the transfer of your personal data outside of the UK. This may be to a country where the UK Government has decided that your data will be protected to UK standards, but if the transfer is to another type of country, then the fraud and financial crime prevention agencies will ensure your data continues to be protected by ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place.
If we, or a fraud and financial crime prevention agency, determine that you pose a fraud, financial crime or money laundering risk, we and others may refuse to provide the services and financing you have requested, to employ you, or we may stop providing existing services to you.
A record of any fraud, financial crime or money laundering risk will be retained by the fraud and financial crime prevention agencies, and may result in others refusing to provide services, financing or employment to you. Fraud and financial crime prevention agencies can hold your information for different periods of time, and if you are considered to pose a fraud, financial crime or money laundering risk, your data can be held for up to six years.
The identities of the credit reference agencies, their role also as fraud and financial crime 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 credit reference agencies are explained in more detail by each of the three credit reference agencies at the links below:
