Credit Reference Agencies

As well as the provision of your data to the above mentioned external agencies, secureinvest will also submit your data to a Credit Reference Agency (CRA) as part of the application process for the assessment of a loan. Submission of your data will enable us to view your current credit profile giving details of your financial commitments held across the market.

Details of which agencies we use can be obtained from our Data Protection Representative at the above address. We and the particular agencies may also enable law enforcement agencies, where there is a statutory requirement, to access and use your personal data to detect, investigate and prevent crime. If we, or one of the mentioned agencies, determine that you pose a fraud or money laundering risk, we, and others, may refuse to provide the services and financing you have requested or may request. A record of any fraud or money laundering risk will be retained by the fraud prevention agencies, and may result in others refusing to provide services, financing, or employment to you. If you have any questions about this, please contact us on the details provided. These agencies can hold your personal data for different periods of time, and if you are considered to pose a fraud or money laundering risk, your data can be held for up to six years.

Retention of your data

Secureinvest will store your personal data only for as long as it is necessary for us to maintain the relationship that has been established through your application for a bridging or short-term loan.

Where secureinvest provides credit to you, we will securely retain your personal details for at least the term of the credit agreement plus six years and will update these details should you notify us of any material change during this period.

Should you redeem your loan before the end of the contractual term, we will retain your personal data for at least seven years from the date of redemption in order for us to meet our regulatory responsibilities.

In any instance where you ask us to cease processing your personal data prior to the completion of your application, secureinvest will retain your personal data for a period not greater than two years from the date of your request to cease processing your data in order that we meet our regulatory obligations.

The right to your objection to our processing, or request erasure of your data is subject to our regulatory and legislative responsibilities as well as to the correct maintenance of any contract that we may enter into for the provision of investment opportunities. This means that we have a legal necessity to retain your data while you have a loan underway with the company in order that we correctly manage the contract set out at the signing of your loan offer. We also must retain your data for a period of six years after the completion of any loans with the business to meet our regulatory obligations.
