Special personal information

Data protection law defines some personal information as “special categories of data”.

This information may be necessary to collect when understanding the reason for your financial circumstances, or where it may help us to provide a better service to you.

We will use the personal information about the other person in the ways as described in this privacy policy. How do we collect your personal information? We collect your information in a number of ways.

• When you make an application or enquiry to us either by phone, email, our website, by a third party or by any other means

Debt Arrangement Scheme

If a Debt Payment Programme (DPP) under the Debt Arrangement Scheme is the solution you decide on, Carrington Dean Limited will collect and process your personal data to help you with your application and administer your DPP. The information below specifically explains how and why your personal data will be used so that the services can be provided to you.

What personal data will we need to collect?

To be able to provide our services we will need to collect certain categories of personal data. This will include:

• Contact details – so that we can regularly contact you where we need to and update you about your DPP
• Your Income and expenditure – so that we can accurately work out what you can afford to pay towards your DPP
• The people you owe money to – so we can properly administer your DPP
• Personal circumstances – such as your employment, living arrangements, property, assets and financial dependents, to carry out your regular reviews and advise how any change in your situation affects your DPP and whether it is still the right solution for you
• Special personal information – only with your permission and where this is relevant to your financial situation and the administration of your DPP, or where we have a legal right to do so
• Financial details – if we are appointed to be the Payment Distributor for your DPP, to collect the regular payments to your DPP.

This is required to enable a DPP to be entered into and to fulfil our contractual obligations with you, and to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations.

Who will the data be shared with?

Your personal information will be shared with creditors and debt collectors who you owe money so that we can arrange a payment arrangement under your debt arrangement scheme. This is a key part of the services we’ve contractually agreed to provide to you.

We will submit your DPP application to the DAS Administrator for approval.

If your DPP is approved, your details will be published on the publicly accessible DAS Register, maintained by the Accountant in Bankruptcy.

We will pass information about you and your approved Debt Payment Programme to the Payments Distributor appointed to deal with the payments due to your DPP.

Our regulators, such as the DAS Administrator, the Information Commissioner’s Office or any other regulatory body or authority may request certain information as part of supervising us. We would have a legal or regulatory obligation to provide this.

Your personal data may be shared with tracing agents where we have a legitimate interest to obtain up to date contact information to help us to continue to provide the services to you.

If you have provided your authority or we have a legitimate interest to do so, or where we may be legally entitled to, we will share information with credit reference agencies (CRAs) to obtain information about your financial history or your credit commitments. We collect your information in a number of ways.

For further information on how CRAs may use your personal information you can view the Credit Reference Agency Information Notice here or from the three main CRAs – Callcredit; Equifax; and Experian.

We may also share your personal information where we have your consent to do so, or where we are required to do so under a legal or regulatory obligation, for example where we are required to do so by a court order, the police, local authorities or the courts or in the event that your contact details require to be updated and you cannot be traced. We might share some of your information with the emergency services if you are in any immediate danger.

An automated decision is one which we rely on a computer or system to assess the information you provide to us to make a decision about you. This may include:

• assessing your eligibility for a product or service, for example a credit check for a credit card or loan application
• detecting any fraudulent activity which may be taking place, or there is a risk that it could take place
• checking identity and residency statuses

If we do make an automated decision about you, in some cases you have the right to ask that we do not make our final decision based solely on the automated decision, and you can also object to the automated decision and ask that someone reviews it. If you want to do this, you’d need to contact us, or use the contact information which will be provided to you once you’ve received the automated decision.

To help us keep you up to date about the products and services that we provide to you, and to ensure that you’re kept fully informed, we may contact you by letter, telephone, email, text message, push notifications, social media or may send you messages by any online customer platforms or other electronic means.

If you start an application for a product or service through us we will attempt to contact you shortly after if you were unable to complete your application for whatever reason.

If you do not want to be contacted in a particular way then you can request this at any time, but if we are providing a service to you, we do need to be able to send you communications. This can often be due to a legal or regulatory requirement.

It is important that you keep us up to date when you change your contact details to ensure that we use your up to date contact information.

How long do we keep your data?

If you do not go ahead with any product or service with us, your personal information will normally be deleted after 12 months unless we have another reason to keep your personal information, for example, if you have given your consent to receive marketing information from us. We will delete your information sooner if you ask us to.

If you become our customer by entering a debt solution, we will keep your data to ensure that we provide you with our services and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. Your data will be stored for 6 years from the date that we cease to provide you with our services. We cannot delete this data if you ask us to because we are required to keep it by law. After this time, we will delete the information or anonymise the data so that it cannot be linked back to you.

Websites and marketing

To help us understand you better and provide you with information about other products which may be suitable and relevant, we will use your personal information to create a profile of you and your circumstances. This allows us to provide more relevant, accurate and tailored services to you. For example, we may assess your income and expenditure to determine whether you would be eligible for a debt solution through us. We believe we have a legitimate interest to do this and that it is not against your rights.

However, if you don’t want us to profile your personal information this way, to then better enable us to tailor any marketing communications to you, you can contact us to let us know that you wish for your personal data not to be used in this way.

Reviews and Market Research

Where we have a copy of your personal information we may contact you to ask you to provide a review about the services you’ve received or where we are carrying out market research which may help us design future products and services or to help improve our current services. Although this information would really help us, you wouldn’t be required to provide us with this information unless you were happy to. We consider that this is in our legitimate interests to contact you in this way for market research purposes.

Legal or Regulatory Obligation

We are required to process your personal information where we have a legal or regulatory obligation to do so, for example, to adhere to anti-money laundering or our regulatory obligations.

Responding to complaints or enquiries

If you make an enquiry or complaint with us, we will use your personal information to investigate the complaint and deal with your enquiry. We have a legal and regulatory obligation to deal with your complaint appropriately.

Internal Analysis

As part of our legitimate interest to develop our business and our products we will use your personal information to assess our performance as a business and for statistical analysis. We will use as little personal data as we can to achieve this. We may also share this analysis with third parties who provide us with services and where we have a contractual obligation to do so.

We may also share your personal information with the following organisations:

• IT Service Providers who provide IT platforms or other IT services

• Printers who print the letters and information packs which we send to you
• • Advertisers and social media companies such as Facebook, Google and Twitter for our social media accounts or where we can contact you using your social media account
• Third parties who may have introduced you to our services

These companies help us to provide our services to you. We will have a contract in place with any provider who directly provides us with such direct services to ensure that they comply with their data protection obligations and ensure that they have appropriate security measures in place.

We may also share your personal information where we have your consent to do so or where we’re required to do so under a legal or regulatory obligation or court order, such as the police, local authorities or the courts.

The personal information we have collected from you may be shared with law enforcement agencies and fraud prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud, money-laundering and terrorist financing and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services, finance or employment. Further details of how your information is used by us and these fraud prevention agencies, and your data protection rights, can be found by contacting us or email us at compliance@creditfix.co.uk

We will only share your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), where we have your consent; to comply with a legal obligation; or where we work with a business partner to enable us to provide you with our services, and they process information outside of the EEA.

If we do share your information outside of the EEA we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EEA to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. This may include putting in place a contract with the business partner that means they must protect the personal data to the same standards as the EEA (this may include defined model clauses), or only share the data to a business partner in a non-EEA country where the privacy laws provide the same protection as within the EEA or where they are part of a Privacy Shield.

We take the protection of personal information very seriously and we will maintain appropriate measures to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information you have provided. Such measures include:

• Company security policies and standards
• staff security awareness
• role based and biometric access controls to prevent unauthorised access to the information
• encryption and anonymisation technology
• anti-malware technologies
• security monitoring
• security testing
• secure archiving and deletion
• compliance with industry regulation and legislation

If you have provided us with your consent or where we are legally entitled to do so, we may contact you to let you know about other offers, products and services that we provide which we think you may be interested or that may benefit you.
