This privacy notice sets out how we deal with this information and how and when it may be shared with others. We may change this notice at any time in the future.
It applies to information we collect about:
We have to hold your details to allow us to process your application or request for services and then to provide them and ensure that we are able to carry out our responsibilities. For example, as a member, we will hold the details which we obtain from you at the outset of your membership and records concerning share deposits and loan repayments and your conduct in relation to your membership.
This information will be retained once we stop providing services to you for so long as it is considered necessary or for a maximum of 5 years after you stop being a member. Any staff employed by us or organisations and people working on our behalf may have access to this information.
There may be other types of information that apply in special cases, including:
Most of the above information we hold concerning you comes directly from you, as we get most of it from your application form or other forms we ask you to complete, or from when you contact us. We will often give you more details about how we will use your information on documents that we ask you to complete or sign, or when we write to you.
Unless instructed otherwise, we may use your details to provide you with information about other services which may be of interest to you and we may contact you about these by post or telephone.
We may contact you by electronic means (example: email or text messaging) only if you have provided us with your electronic contact details for this purpose.
Credit reference and fraud prevention agencies
In order to process your application we will supply your personal information to credit reference agencies (CRAs) and they will give us information about you, such as about your financial history. We do this to assess creditworthiness and product suitability, check your identity, manage your account, trace and recover debts and prevent criminal activity.
We will also continue to exchange information about you with CRAs on an ongoing basis, including about your settled accounts and any debts not fully repaid on time. CRAs will share your information with other organisations. Your data will also be linked to the data of your spouse, any joint applicants or other financial associates.
The identities of the CRAs, and the ways in which they use and share personal information, are explained in more detail at:
