We use a range of physical, electronic and other security measures to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the personal information we hold about you. We aim to keep personal information only for as long as we need it - for example for business or legal reasons. When we no longer need information, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it. We collect credit information about you when you apply or use our credit related products or services. We may also collect credit information about you from credit reporting bodies (such as Equifax). What is credit information? Credit information is personal information that is about credit that has been provided to you or that you have applied for. This includes credit for personal purposes and credit in connection with a business. It can also cover information about you as a guarantor of a loan or as an insured party under a credit related insurance policy. Types of credit-related information we collect, hold and disclose We collect credit information directly from you or your representative when you apply for a credit related product or service, like a credit card. We also collect credit information about you from third parties, including credit reporting bodies (such as Equifax) or other credit providers (such as another bank). The types of credit information we collect and handle are set out below. Identification information This includes your name (including any aliases), gender, date of birth, driver licence number, current and most recent past addresses, as well as current and most recent past employers.

You can also contact us to make an enquiry or complaint about the collection and handling of your credit information. Credit reporting bodies If you apply for credit or offer to act as a guarantor, we may collect or share your information with a credit reporting body. This information is used to determine your eligibility for credit. When we request information about you from a credit reporting body (called a credit enquiry), we will need to share some of your personal or credit information with them. Your consent is not required for us to share that information with a credit reporting body but sometimes we will need your consent for the credit reporting body to disclose information to us (e.g. when you apply for commercial credit). Credit reporting bodies may use and disclose credit inquiry information when assessing your credit worthiness, including when they calculate your credit score or rating (such as when you apply for a credit card or a loan). Credit reporting bodies may also include information about credit enquiries in their reports to help other credit providers assess your credit worthiness. In some circumstances your credit score or rating may be impacted by credit enquiries, such as where numerous credit enquiries have been recorded by a credit reporting body over a short period. We can also ask credit reporting bodies to give us your overall credit score and may use credit information from credit reporting bodies together with other information to arrive at our own assessment of your ability to manage credit. Direct marketing: Credit providers like us can ask credit reporting bodies to use your credit information to pre-screen you for direct marketing purposes. You can contact the credit reporting bodies if you want to stop your credit information being used for this purpose. Preventing identity fraud: If you think you have been, or could be, a victim of fraud you can ask the credit reporting body not to use or give anyone your credit information.
