We may also disclose information about how you conduct your account to credit reference agencies and your information may be linked to records relating to other people living at the same address with whom you are financially linked.

Other credit businesses may use your information to:

make credit decisions about you and the people with whom you are financially associated;

trace debtors, and

prevent and detect fraud and money laundering.

If you provide false or inaccurate information to us and we suspect fraud, we will record this.

Keeping your data secure

We will use technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, for example:

access to your account is controlled by a password and user name that are unique to you;

This family of standards helps us manage your information and keep it safe and secure.
