Credit Reference Agencies
In
order to process your application, we will perform credit and identity checks
on you with one or more credit reference agencies (“CRAs”).
To do this, we
will supply your personal information to CRAs and they will give us information
about you. This will include information about your financial situation and
financial history. CRAs will supply to us both public (including the electoral
register) and shared credit, financial situation and financial history
information and fraud prevention information.
We will use this
information to:
·
Verify the accuracy of the data you have provided
to us;

Prevent criminal activity, fraud and money
laundering;
When CRAs
receive a search from us they will place a search footprint on your credit file
that may be seen by other searchers.

prevention agencies, the data they hold, the ways in which they use and share
personal information, data retention periods and your data protection rights
with the CRAs are explained in more detail at Experian www.experian.co.uk/crain, TransUnion www.transunion.co.uk/crain and

and other non-marketing users
We may share your personal information, or any suspected fraud relating
to you, with law enforcement agencies and regulators where we are under a duty
to disclose or share your information in order to comply with any legal or
regulatory obligation, or if we reasonably consider that this is necessary to
help prevent or detect fraud or other crime or to protect the rights, property,
or our safety, our customers or others.
The personal information you provide (including your email and internet
protocol (IP) addresses) may also be copied, stored, used and licensed to
assist with identity verification, prevention of fraud and money laundering,
service delivery and process implementation.

7.3
International transfers
We transfer, use and/or store your personal information outside of the
European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the laws of some of these destination
countries may not offer the same standard of protection for personal
information as in the UK.
We currently transfer data to third parties for processing outside of
the EEA for the purposes of verifying your identity and providing you with
employee benefits. We may update this
list from time to time and any changes will be communicated to you via an
update to this privacy notice.
Transfers to our third-party service providers are to enable them use
and store your personal information on our behalf. We will, however, put in place appropriate
security procedures in order to protect your personal information. We also
ensure that, where your information is transferred to any country outside the
EEA this is done using specific legally-approved safeguards. You can request further details and a copy of
these by contacting the DPO (see section 10).
