Why should you read this document?
During the course of dealing with us, we will ask you to provide us with detailed personal information relating to your existing agreement types, your previous address history and details, your DOB, your credit situation (Your Personal Data). This document is important as it allows us to explain to you what we will need to do with Your Personal Data, and the various rights you have in relation to Your Personal Data.
What do we mean by "Your Personal Data"?
Your Personal Data means any information that describes or relates to your personal circumstances. Your Personal Data may identify you directly, for example your name, address, date or birth. Your Personal Data may also identify you indirectly, for example, your employment situation.
In the context of providing you with assistance in relation to your Mis sold Finance Agreements/PBA requirements Your Personal Data may include:
Title, names, date of birth, gender, nationality, civil/marital status, contact details, addresses and documents that are necessary to verify your identity
Employment details, employment history

Special Categories of Personal Data
We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
The basis upon which our Firm will deal with Your Personal Data
When we speak with you about your Mis sold Agreements/PPI/PBA, we do so on the basis that both parties are entering a contract for the supply of services.
In order to perform that contract, and to arrange the service you require, we have the right to use Your Personal Data for the purposes detailed below.
Alternatively, either in the course of initial discussions with you or when the contract between us has come to an end for whatever reason, we have the right to use Your Personal Data provided it is in our legitimate business interest to do so and your rights are not affected. For example, we may need to respond to requests from our regulator regarding how we processed your claim, or to make contact with you to seek feedback on the service you received.
In conjunction with requests from our regulator, we will use Your Personal data for contractual responsibilities we may owe our regulator, or for wider compliance with any legal or regulatory obligation to which we might be subject. In such circumstances, we would be processing Your Personal Data in order to meet a legal, compliance or other regulatory obligation to which we are subject.
How do we collect Your Personal Data?
We will collect and record Your Personal Data from a variety of sources, 3rd party data providers and lead generators who we have carried out Due Diligence on, and who have provided us with information regarding how they collected your data. Further information in relation to how your policy was sold, you will provide information to us verbally and any missing information in writing, including email.
We may also obtain some information from third parties, for example, lenders to ascertain if they sold you a PPI Policy or PBA policy.
How We Use Your Personal Data To Start / Proceed With The Claims Process
Once you have submitted your details online through 3rd party data providers or via our own website (www.myppirefund.co.uk) the details collected such as your name, email address, DOB, personal address details, as well as your previous address history and details of the lenders/providers you have had loan and/or credit card agreements with, we will use this information to send out our PPI claim pack to start the initial "Free PPI Check".
We will also use your information to send you "pack chase emails" and text messages. We will also call you for missing information as and when required.
