Introduction

This Privacy Notice sets out how and why we collect and use the personal information of our customers, who we'll share it with, the circumstances where we'll share it and what steps we'll take to make sure it stays private and secure, including in accordance with our responsibilities under the retained EU law version of the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“UK GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018 and any other national implementing laws, regulations and secondary legislation, as amended or updated from time to time, applicable in the UK (“Data Protection Legislation”).

Vanarama is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information and how we will treat it.

This Notice continues to apply even if your agreement for leasing, insurance and/or any other products and services with us ends. It outlines the choices you have including how to access and update information. It should be read alongside your lease and insurance terms and conditions, as these include sections relating to the use and disclosure of information.

Whenever we've said "you" or "your", this means you, our customer, or any authorised person/s acting on your behalf.

Special Categories Of Personal Information

Where authorised by law and where consent has been provided voluntarily, we may collect some personal data about your health, racial or ethnic origin. This data is subject to additional rights and is described as special category data. The information we may hold in this regard includes the following:

• Equality & Diversity Information:

o Gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation, political opinions, race, religion or belief.

Credit Reference Checks, Fraud, And Money Laundering

Credit Reference Checks

For us to be able to process your application, we'll supply your personal information to Credit Reference Agencies (CRA's), and they will provide us with information about you.

This will include information from your credit application and about your financial situation and financial history. CRA's will supply to us both public (including the electoral register) and shared credit, financial situation, financial history information, and fraud prevention information. This information will be used by us to:

• Assess if we can offer you credit and to ascertain whether you can afford to purchase the product and/or service you applied for;
• Verify the accuracy of the data you have provided to us;
• Ensure any products offered to you are appropriate to your circumstances;
• Trace and recover debts;
• Prevent criminal activity, fraud and money laundering.

When CRA's receive a search request from us, they'll place a search footprint on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders. If you're making a joint application, CRA's will share your information with other organisations and your data will be linked to the data of your spouse, any joint applicants, or other financial associates. You should discuss this with them and share this information with them before submitting the application. These links will remain on your files and their files until you or the joint applicant successfully files for a disassociation with the CRA's to break that link.

The identities of the CRA's, including their role as fraud prevention agencies, and the ways in which they use and share personal information is explained in more detail on their websites. They've created a joint document called the Credit Reference Agency Information Notice (CRAIN) which you can access from the following CRA's:

• Experian
• Call Credit

Fraud Prevention Agencies

We will carry out checks with fraud prevention agencies for the purposes of preventing fraud and money laundering. We will also carry out checks to verify your identity before we provide any products and services to you. These checks require us to process personal information about you.

We will process personal information such as your full name and any previous names, your address history, date of birth, contact details, financial information, employment details, and device identifiers e.g. IP address.

We and any fraud prevention agencies we use may also share your personal information with law enforcement agencies to enable them to detect, investigate, and prevent crime.

Your personal information may also be processed by us where we have a legitimate interest to do so in preventing fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity. This processing is a condition of any of our products and services that you use and enables us to protect our business and comply with any laws that apply to us.

Fraud prevention agencies can hold your personal information for different periods of time. If they're concerned about a possible fraud or money laundering risk, your data can be held by them for up to six years.

Where we, or a fraud prevention agency, have reason to believe there's a fraud or money laundering risk, we may refuse to provide you with the products, services, and credit you've requested. We may also stop providing existing products and services to you. A record of any fraud or money laundering risk will be retained by the fraud prevention agencies and this may result in other third parties refusing to provide services, financing or employment to you also. Information we hold about you may make it easier or harder for you to obtain credit in the future.

If you need any more information about our fraud prevention agencies and how they manage your information, you can access this from each agency directly:

• CIFAS
• National Hunter

International Transfers Of Your Information

Your personal information may be transferred to and stored in locations outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), including countries that may not have the same level of protection for personal information as is provided in the UK and in countries in the EEA. When we do this, your personal information will continue to be subject to one of the appropriate safeguards set out in Data Protection Legislation and that safeguard that we'll typically use is to put in place a contract with the recipient that governs the protection of your personal information to the same standards as the United Kingdom.

Using Your Information To Make Automated Decisions

We may use systems to make automated decisions about you based on your personal information or the information we are allowed to collect from others about you or your business e.g. when you apply for any of our products and services, to make credit decisions and to carry out fraud and money laundering checks. This helps us to make sure our decisions are quick, fair, efficient, and correct, based on what we know. These automated decisions can affect the products, services, or features we may offer you now or in the future, or the price that we charge you for them.

We may convert your credit application data into aggregated clusters in order to better protect your privacy whilst allowing us to analyse and profile our customers and prospects, serve more relevant content and marketing messages to you and/ or others and improve our efficiencies across a range of activities in the business; for example, creating a more seamless online experience or deliver a better customer service.

You may have a right to certain information about how we make these decisions including the right to request human intervention and to challenge the decision if appropriate. Further information on this can be found in the "your rights" section of this notice.

Tracking Or Recording Your Information

We may record details of your interactions with us including phone calls, face-to-face meetings, letters, emails, live chats, video, text and any other kinds of communication. We may also capture additional information about these interactions with you, e.g. telephone numbers that you call us from and information about the devices or software that you use. Our Website, Mobile Apps, and other Digital Products may track and record your interactions with them.

We will not record any telephone calls with you where you have opted out of such recording. In any event, we do not record all calls; those calls recorded are typically customer facing staff / regulated customers (FCA / TCF) calls, which are recorded for the following purposes to:

• Establish the existence of facts relevant to our activities; for example, to keep a record of information given via telephone by, or to, customers where it is necessary or desirable for us to record the information provided during that conversation;
• Ascertain compliance with regulatory or self-regulatory practices or procedures relevant to us; for example, to ensure that we are complying with our own policies and procedures, with external regulatory guidelines, and with applicable laws;
• Ascertain or demonstrate standards that are, or ought to be, achieved by our personnel; for example, for quality control and staff training; and Prevent or detect crime; for example, to monitor for or to detect evidence of fraud or corruption.

We determine the nature and extent of call recording appropriate for the above purposes taking into account:(a) the importance we attach to the proper handling of all customer calls and the need for quality control and staff training to achieve this;(b) the results of our data protection impact assessment in relation to call recording; and(c) The advice of our Data Protection Officer.

We do not make call recordings available to any third parties, unless legally obliged to do so. We will not retain telephone recordings for any longer than necessary for the purposes for which they are collected or as required by our Data Retention Policy or other legal requirement, whichever is longer.

We have determined that we have a legitimate interest in recording calls in accordance with this notice and that the importance we attach to such call recording as described in this notice for the purposes set out in this notice are not overridden by your privacy rights.

How Long We'll Keep Your Information

We will keep your personal information for as long as you're a customer. If you haven't made a purchase or engaged with us for 3 years or more, then we'll remove you from our marketing mailing lists. If you stop being a customer of ours, we may keep your data for up to 7 years from the last time you interacted with us. This could include one of the ways specified in "how we use your information" and for any of the following reasons where we are required to:

• Maintain records;
• Respond to any queries or complaints;
• Show that we have treated you fairly;
• Establish, bring or defend legal claims.

Your personal information may be kept for longer than 7 years if we cannot delete it for legal, regulatory or technical reasons. We may also keep it in order to help support product recalls or safety notices. If we do, we will make sure that your privacy is protected and only use it for those purposes.

Please note, we do not retain personal information in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary and we will only retain your personal information to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or as stated, to comply with legal, regulatory or internal policy requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

How We Keep Your Information Secure

We use a range of appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the personal information supplied by you against accidental loss or destruction or alteration, and any accidental or unauthorised access or use by third parties, which may include encryption and other forms of security. We require our staff and any third parties who carry out any work on our behalf to comply with appropriate compliance standards including obligations to protect any information, by applying appropriate technical standards or organisational measures.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

Your Rights

You have a number of rights in relation to the information that we hold about you. These rights are summarised below:

• Right of Access - You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to obtain information about how we process it. This is sometimes called a Data Subject Access Request. If we agree that we have an obligation to provide personal information to you (or another party on your behalf), we will provide it to you free of charge. We may ask for specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information or to exercise any of your other rights. This is an appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also ask for sufficient information about your interactions with us so that we can locate your personal information prior to releasing such information; this is to try to assist you by ensuring that we can provide the Information requested but you are no obliged to do so. Except in rare cases, we will respond to you within one calendar month after we’ve received this information or, where no such information is required, after we have received your request;

• Right to Rectification - You can request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you;

• Right to Erasure - In some circumstances, the right to request we delete or remove your information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it, for example where processing is no longer necessary for the purposes for which your information was collected. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). Please note, we may continue to retain your information if we're entitled to or required to retain it;

• Right to Restriction of Processing - You can ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it;

• Right to Object - To us processing your personal information if we're not entitled to use it anymore. Please note, there may be situations where you object to our processing of your information but we're entitled to continue processing your information and/or refuse that request. You have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. If we agree that your objection is justified in accordance with your rights under Data Protection laws, we will permanently stop using your data for those purposes or provide you with reasonable justification as to why we are required to continue using your information;

• Right to Withdraw your Consent - Where we are processing your personal data based on your consent then you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal;

• Automated Decision-Making and Profiling - You have the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing (including any profiling for such purposes), which would have a significant legal effect on you and you have the right to contact us to express your point of view and challenge the decision;

• Right to Data Portability - In some circumstances, you have the right to receive certain information you have provided to us in an electronic format and/or request that we transmit it to a third party in a format that can be easily re-used.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in the "contact us" section of this privacy notice.

These rights are subject to certain exemptions including to safeguard the public interest (e.g. the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (e.g. the maintenance of legal privilege) where we may be required or permitted by law to retain certain information about you.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights), except that we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

In order for us to provide you with any information or correct any inaccuracies, we may need to ask you to provide other details to help us respond to your request. This, for example, would include one proof of identity e.g. your driver's licence, utility bill, or other similar formal documents not older than 6 months from the date of request.

Marketing And Research

With your consent, we may use your information to provide you with details about our products and services, and also products and services from our partners and other relevant third parties carefully selected by us. We may, with your consent, send you marketing messages by post, email, telephone, text, or through social media or other forms of advertising. You have the right to change your mind on how you receive marketing messages from us, or our affiliates and you can choose to opt out and stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time. To make that change, you can do this by the following options:

• Emails - You can click on the 'unsubscribe' link in any marketing email you receive, and this will take you to the 'Contact Preferences' section of your account so you can unsubscribe from that method of communication;

• Text Messages - You can text "stop" to the number provided within the communication and this will unsubscribe you from this method of communication;

• Any Other Method of Marketing - You can contact us using the details provided in the 'contact us' section of this notice. Once you do this, we will update our records to ensure that we update your preferences and you don't receive any further marketing messages.

Where you ask us to stop sending you marketing information, it may take us a short period of time to update our systems and records to reflect your request, so we would ask for your patience as you may continue to receive marketing messages during this time. Please note that opting out of marketing information will not stop service communications and we will continue to use your contact details to provide you with important information, such as changes to your terms and conditions or if we need to notify you to comply with our regulatory obligations.

We may use your information for market research and to identify trends. Market research agencies acting on our behalf may get in touch with you by post, telephone, email or other methods of communication to invite you to take part in research. We won't invite you to take part in research using a communication method if you've asked us not to get in touch in that way. Any responses that you provide whilst participating in market research will be reported back to us anonymously unless you give us permission for your details to be shared.

Legal And Regulatory Compliance Obligations

We will use your personal information to meet our legal and compliance obligations, to comply with legislation and regulations and to share with regulators and other authorities that we may be subject to. This may include to help detect or prevent crime including but not subject to money laundering, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes. We will only do this where we are required to comply with a legal obligation, where it's in our legitimate interests and that of others, or to prevent or detect any unlawful acts.
