How long do we keep it?

All personal data is kept under secure conditions for the duration of your treatment, or for as long as you are a customer. Sometimes we are legally required to keep the data, in which case we will only keep it for the minimum time required by law at which point it will be securely destroyed.

If there is any kind of dispute we will keep the data for the length of the dispute to ensure that we have dealt with you fairly and legally.

Any data relating to live and settled accounts will be kept in our credit files for six years from the date when they were settled or closed. In the case of a default the account will be kept for six years from the date of the default.

You have the right to access their own personal information, may also object to the processing of their personal information, ask for any inaccuracies to be rectified, for the personal data to be erased or restricted and have the right to port the personal information in a machine-readable format. In certain cases, when we are not relying on Consent (such as when we have entered into a contract with you or are processing because of a legal obligation) we may need to hold on to your information. We would be happy to discuss any issues you might have.
