This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We will only share the minimum information necessary for the purpose (which will never include any special category data without your consent) and will seek your express consent to share identifying information outside of above organisations or outside of the EEA (save for in the circumstances set out above).

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
