This privacy notice summarises how we collect and process your personal data. Full details on this can be found in our long form privacy policy which is available at www.romafinance.co.uk (or
you may ask us for a copy).
The data we collect about you
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which allows us to identify you as an individual. More details on the type of data we may collect about
you is set out in our long form privacy policy (available at www.romafinance.co.uk).
We collect your personal data directly from you and from third parties connected to you, such as brokers and introducers. We may also collect data about you from publicly available
sources, such as Companies House and from other third party sources such as credit reference, and fraud prevention, agencies. These agencies share personal data about you that is
derived from, or used, in credit activity and who provide credit reporting, and/or fraud prevention, services. We use this information help us make the best possible assessment of your
overall financial situation and history, to check your identity and to prevent criminal activity.
The three main credit reference agencies in the United Kingdom, TransUnion (formerly called Callcredit), Equifax and Experian have created an industry-wide notice called the "Credit
Reference Agency Information Notice" (CRAIN) which sets out clearly how they use and share personal data they receive about you and/or your business that is part of or derived from
or used in credit activity. You can find a copy of this notice at hyperlink https://www.callcredit.co.uk/legal-information/bureau-privacy-notice
How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into, or have
entered into, with you.
We will also use your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests
(so, for example for our administration and record keeping purposes), and/or where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
We may use your personal data to provide you with marketing communications from us if you have requested information or purchased products or services from us and, in each
case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing. You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at any time.
Disclosures of your personal data
To enable us to undertake our activities, we may have to share your personal data with third parties such as associated companies and/or third party service companies who provide
some administration services for us (e.g. HR and IT) and our professional advisers.
We may also disclose your personal data to credit reference agencies to assist them in the collection and maintenance of personal data about you relating to your payment of debts
and general credit worthiness, and with fraud prevention agencies to help prevent fraud and money laundering. They in turn may share this information with other organisations, such as
other finance companies that you approach to provide you with products and services. Please see the information above regarding the CRAIN and how the credit reference agencies
use your data.
We require all third parties to whom we supply your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
Your legal rights
You have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to: (a) request access to your personal data; (b) request correction of your personal data;
(c) request erasure of your personal data; (d) object to processing of your personal data; (e) request restriction of processing your personal data; (f) request transfer of your personal
data; and (g) withdraw your consent.
You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
Further details of these rights are set out in our long form privacy policy.

secured on it/them.

fraud is identified, my details may be passed to fraud prevention agencies to prevent fraud and money laundering. I undertake to inform Roma Finance without delay if any of the
information in this application form changes prior to Roma Finance advancing me any money.
