Legal grounds for processing
Data protection law requires us to only process your personal data if we satisfy one or more legal grounds. These are set out in data protection law and we rely on a number of different grounds for the processing we carry out. These are as follows:
Consent
In certain circumstances, we process your personal data after obtaining your consent to do so for the purposes of:
- sending you marketing communications about our products and services;
- sharing your name, email address, postal address and telephone number with our trusted business partners so that they may contact you about their own similar products and services;
- conducting marketing research;
- using your location to deliver specific messaging to you and facilitate the messaging functionality on our app and websites (as applicable).
Necessary for the performance of a contract and to comply with our legal obligations, it is necessary for us to process your contact details, to set up your account and for the performance of any contract between us. In particular, we rely on this legal ground:
- where you enter one of our prize draws, competition or promotions;
- to communicate with you about major changes to the terms of this Privacy Policy or to any related or similar information.
In certain circumstances, we also use your personal data only to the extent required in order to enable us to comply with our legal obligations, including to detect, investigate and prevent fraud.
Necessary for the purposes of our legitimate business interests or those of a third party, it is sometimes necessary to collect and use your personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests as a business, which are to:
- better understand our user base so that we can improve our products and services and marketing activities (which could also benefit you);
- comply with our contractual obligations to third parties, for example to produce aggregated underwriting risk analysis reports for our commercial lenders and commercial insurers;
- develop and improve our website to enhance the user experience;
- train our staff so that we can provide you with a better user service;
- respond to any enquiries or complaints you have made, or deal with any dispute which may arise in the course of us providing our products and services to you; and
- ensure effective operational management and internal administration of our business, document retention, compliance with regulatory guidance and exercise or defence of legal claims.
Please note that where we wish to rely on this legal ground for processing, we are required by data protection law to consider whether our legitimate interests are overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms. We may continue to process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests only if we determine that your interests, rights and freedoms are not overridden by our legitimate interests.
We have considered these matters and on balance, we consider that the benefits described above are not outweighed by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Where we think there is a risk that one of your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms may be affected we will not process your personal data unless there is another legal ground for us to do so (either that we have obtained your consent to do so or it is necessary for us to perform our contract with you and as such comply with our legal obligations).
