Use of Your Data

If you make an application, your details will be held on computer and used in a credit scoring or other automated decision making process when assessing your application. An enquiry will be made with Credit Reference Agencies. It is important that you give us accurate information. We will check your details with fraud prevention agencies and if false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details will be passed to fraud prevention agencies. Law enforcement agencies may access and use this information. We and other organisations may also access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when:

• Checking details on applications for credit and credit related or other facilities
• Managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities
• Recovering debt
• Checking details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance
• Checking details of job applicants and employees

We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies. You can ask for details about the Credit Reference and Fraud Prevention Agencies from whom and with whom we share this information. You have a legal right to these records.

For the purposes of this application you may be treated as financially linked and your application will be assessed with reference to any "associated" records. If you are a joint applicant or if you have told us of some other financial association with another person, you must be sure that you are entitled to:

• disclose information about your joint applicant and anyone referred to by you.
• authorise us to search, link or record information at credit reference agencies about you and anyone referred to by you

An "association" between joint applicants, and between you and anyone you tell us is your financial partner, will be created at credit reference agencies. This will link your financial records, each of which will be taken into account in all future applications by either or both of you. This will continue until one of you successfully files a disassociation at credit reference agencies.

You authorise us to make all enquiries necessary to verify this information to enable us to consider this application. If you apply for insurance your information will be passed to the administrators and the insurers for underwriting, processing claims handling and fraud prevention. Your personal data which may include sensitive information such as medical details, will be treated in confidence and will not be disclosed to any third parties except where permitted by law or where you have given your consent, however, it may be shared with any company from time to time forming part of Broker-Support Ltd and any of its subsidiaries , ASDA Financial Services, approved Credit Brokers, selected third parties and the Insurers (and their administrators) who may also use it for marketing, research, statistical analysis and administration purposes. For further information on the companies with whom your information may be shared please write to us. You may be contacted by mail, telephone, fax, email, automated calling systems or other reasonable method with details of products or services offered by one of the above. If you do not want your details to be used for marketing please write to Broker-Support Ltd.

If we are unable to accept your loan application in the first instance we will ask your permission before referring your application to our Approvalls division to endeavour to source you the most suitable lending plan from the broader lending panel of Approvalls.
