Credit reference searches. To assess this application we carry out a search with a credit reference agency, which records a footprint on the business’s (and, where relevant, the directors’) credit file.
Fraud prevention. We may share the information you provide with fraud-prevention agencies (such as CIFAS) to prevent fraud and money laundering; they and we may keep a record of that search.
How we use director details. We process each director’s name, date of birth, home address and signature on the lawful basis of legitimate interests — to verify identity, assess credit risk and administer the guarantee.
Telling your co-directors. If you enter another director’s personal details, you must let them know their data is being provided to us and point them to our privacy policy.
