01The Type of Personal Information We Collect

We currently collect and process the following information:

  • Health and medical information (for the purpose of providing insurance advice).

02How We Get the Personal Information and Why We Have It

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:

  • Mortgage advice, assessment, qualification and underwriting.
  • Insurance advice, assessment, qualification and underwriting.

This information is collected on a ‘contractual’ basis to assist us with providing you with a mortgage and protection advice service.

We also receive personal information indirectly, from the following sources and scenarios:

  • Lenders will provide us with the necessary information to assist in providing advice, establishing a lending product or the ongoing servicing of our customers.
  • Insurers will provide us with the necessary information to assist in providing advice, establishing an insurance product or the ongoing servicing of our customers.
Identity verification

In order to validate your identity and/or residential address, we may carry out what is known as an Enquiry Search with a credit reference agency. This will leave what is often referred to as a ‘soft footprint’ on your credit file. This is not visible to lenders and does not impact your credit score.

We use the information that you have given us in order to provide you with mortgage and/or insurance advice.

We may share this information with:

  • Lenders (the specific lenders approached will be disclosed to you during the advice process).
  • Insurance companies (the specific insurers approached will be disclosed to you during the advice process).
  • The Financial Conduct Authority (regulatory purposes).
  • The Information Commissioner’s Office (law enforcement).
  • The National Crime Agency (law enforcement).
  • Other law enforcement bodies (law enforcement).
  • Customer Relationship Management and Product Sourcing Systems (day-to-day processing of your data).

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

  • We have a contractual obligation.
  • We have a legal obligation.
  • We have a legitimate interest.

03How We Store Your Personal Information

Your information is securely stored in electronic format using our customer relationship management system.

Additionally, we also make use of market-leading product sourcing technology.

We keep the above personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil our regulatory and legal responsibilities. This means that we will retain your information for as long as you are legally able to file a complaint, or as long as we have a legal obligation to do so under Anti-Money Laundering legislation. We will then dispose of your information by permanently deleting it from our files.

  • Your right of access: you have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.
  • Your right to rectification: you have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.
