If you would like additional information about how your personal data is used please write to us at the above address or call 0800 066 2882.
Why do we collect personal data?
Our legal basis for processing your personal data is the legitimate interest of Pegasus Finance and the third parties that we will disclose your information to in order to provide you with a quote or arrange a finance agreement.
Processing is necessary as our decisions and those of our lenders depend upon each customer’s individual circumstances and credit history. The data we ask you to provide is required data and without it we cannot proceed with your application.
Where do we collect personal data from?
We may collect personal information about you (or your business);
- When you complete an application on our website.
- When you send us emails or letters via the post.
- When you speak to one of our staff over the phone or in person.
- If you take part in any competitions or promotions.
- From companies who introduce you to us (introducers).
How do we use your personal data?
We may use your personal information to;
- Ascertain the suitability of our products and services to your requirements.
- Consult credit reference agencies regarding your credit history.
- Keep our records up to date, working out which of our products and services may interest you and telling you about them.
- Conduct market research including requesting customer reviews.
Who do we share personal data with?
We are very careful with the handling of your personal information. We will never sell your personal information or pass it onto a third party without legitimate interest. We may pass your personal information to;
- Lenders we think may provide you with a finance product.
- Our data handling software partner.
- Affiliates who’s website you have applied through.
- Law enforcement agencies in connection with any investigation.
- We may also share your personal information if the make-up of Pegasus Finance changes in the future;
Lenders may use your personal data for statistical analysis and analytics regardless of whether the applicant takes up a loan with them or not. They will also carry out credit reference checks, see below.
We may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business, or our assets. Or we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them.
During any such process, we may share your data with other parties. We’ll only do this if they agree to keep your data safe and private.
If the change to our company happens, then other parties may use your data in the same way as set out in this notice.
There will be circumstances where we will only process your data if we have your consent to do so. For example, if you provide us with data that is classed as a special category of data such as health information, criminal records of convictions and offences, or allegations of criminal offences. We will only process this with your permission (unless we feel the processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or if the law allows us to do so). You have a right at any time to ask us to stop the processing of that specific data.
Credit reference checks
In order to process your application you consent to us and our panel of lenders performing credit, identity and anti-fraud checks on you, which will involve search(es) with one or more credit reference agencies (Equifax Ltd and/or Experian Ltd).
To do this, we will supply your personal information to CRAs, which they will record, and they will provide information about you. This will include information from your credit application and about your financial situation and financial history. CRAs will supply to us both public (including the electoral register) and shared credit, financial situation and financial history information and fraud prevention information.
This information will be used to:
- Assess your creditworthiness and whether you can afford to take the product;
- Verify the accuracy of the data you have provided to us;
- Prevent criminal activity, fraud and money laundering;
- Manage your account(s);
- Trace and recover debts; and
- Ensure any offers provided to you are appropriate to your circumstances.
When CRAs receive a search from us they may place a search footprint on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders. Should we refer your application to another lender, they too will complete a search via a CRA and this may leave a search footprint.
If you are making a joint application, or tell us that you have a spouse or financial associate, we will link your records together, so you should make sure you discuss this with them, and share with them this information, before lodging the application. CRAs will also link your records together and these links will remain on your and their files until such time as you or your partner successfully files for a disassociation with the CRAs to break that link.
If you give us false or inaccurate information and we suspect or identify fraud we will record this and may also pass this information to FPAs and other organisations involved in crime and fraud prevention.
Your data may also be used for other purposes for which you give your specific permission or, in very limited circumstances, when required by law or where permitted under the terms of the Data Protection Act 2018.
