Your personal data is essential to enable us to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract to which you are a party. Without this information we will not be able to proceed to provide any financial service.

Unless we are processing because it is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, we will only process sensitive personal data, such as data concerning health, with your explicit and informed consent for specific processing activities. In such cases you will be asked to sign a separate consent form to evidence this and that you understand the purpose(s) of the processing of such data. Your consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You have the right to object to processing for these purposes and we shall cease unless we can show we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue.
We will use the information provided to protect members of the public against dishonesty, money laundering or fraudulent activities.

Part of this processing involves verifying your identity with carefully selected third parties.
We only collect information that is necessary to carry out the purposes listed above. This includes information you supply and data we receive from reference agencies. Where practical and lawful we will inform you about any personal data we receive about you from third parties that you may be unaware of.

In such cases it their responsibility to encrypt any data it sends to other agencies and only transfer information necessary to carry out checks.
