Why we collect and how long we keep your information

We collect and use your information for a variety of reasons. We need some information to enter into and perform our contract – for example your contact and payment details.

Some information processing is required by law due to our anti-fraud screening obligations or in the public interest such as making sure we verify our customers' identities.

Some information is processed because you've given your consent to that, which can be withdrawn.

Other information we collect because we have legitimate business interests, for example, in:

  • Understanding how our customers use our products, services and websites;

  • Understanding and responding to customer feedback;

  • Researching and analysing the services our customers want;

  • Improving our services;

  • Understanding the type of products and services our customers buy and how they use them;

  • Personalise our offers so we're better able to provide offers and ideas that are relevant to you;

  • Maintaining a public profile on both traditional and social media;

  • Providing security over our business and who we trade with; or

  • Developing and maintaining relationships with vendors, partners and other companies and dealing with individuals who work for them in our sector.

We will keep your information for as long as it is reasonably necessary. It will depend on factors such as whether you have any contractual agreements in place with us or have interacted with recent offers and services. We will also routinely refresh our information to ensure we keep it up-to-date.

Automated decision making

We do not use automated decision making, except in assessing email address domains, IP addresses, patterns of Requests, or content of Requests for the purposes of maintaining the provision and integrity of the service.

Legal requirements

We need to collect certain types of information for compliance with legal requirements relating to our anti-fraud / anti-money laundering / know your customer obligations. If this information is not provided we cannot agree to provide a product or service for you.

Your personal information may also be processed if it is necessary on reasonable request by a law enforcement or regulatory authority, body or agency or in the defence of a legal claims. We will not delete personal information if relevant to an investigation or a dispute. It will continue to be stored until those issues are fully resolved.

Information we share

There are certain circumstances where we may transfer your personal data to employees, contractors and to other parties.

  • We may share your information with certain contractors or service providers. Our suppliers and service providers will be required to meet our standards on processing information and security. The information we provide them, including your information, will only be provided in connection with the performance of their function.

We will do this either when we receive your consent or because we need them to see your information to provide products or services to you. These include credit reference agencies, anti-fraud databases, screening agencies and other partners we do business with.

Your personal information may be transferred to other third party organisations in certain scenarios:

  • If we're discussing selling or transferring part or all of our business – the information may be transferred to prospective purchasers under suitable terms as to confidentiality;

  • If we are reorganised or sold, information may be transferred to a buyer who can continue to provide services to you;
