For the purposes of the Data Protection Act ( ‘DPA’), we are the ‘Data Controller’ (i.e. the company who is responsible for, and controls the processing of, your personal data). This Policy was last updated in May 2018 in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) reform that is due to take effect from May 2018. The reform sets out more rights for individuals and greater transparency in how personal data is processed by Data Controllers, such as consent, distribution, marketing and deletion.

Our firm’s lawful basis for processing your personal data is done so under the following, set out in Article 6 of the GDPR. Consent: the individual has given clear consent for you to process their personal data for a specific purpose. Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract you have with the individual, or because they have asked you to take specific steps before entering into a contract. Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for you to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations). Legitimate Interest: the processing is necessary for your legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.”

In the normal course of business there may be a need for Match Me Finance Limited or any other firm associated to the business, usually when processing an application for credit, personal data would have to be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) where those countries do not typically have the same protections and safeguards in place for the protection of personal data to those countries within the EEA.

Assurances and processes will always be put in place and considered before any international transfer to a non-EEA country is undertaken to ensure the protection and security of the personal data.
