5. WHAT ARE THE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR HANDLING PERSONAL INFORMATION?

CONSENT

Where we collect other information from you such as when we use cookies to
collect information about the device you use to access our website, or sometimes
third parties collect it on our behalf. You will be asked to consent to this
before using our website. If you choose not to give your consent, or you later
remove your consent, this may affect our ability to provide the services you
want, to you. We may also rely on the consent ground for using your personal
information to contact you for marketing purposes.

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

In the United Kingdom, we can also use personal information where the benefits
of doing it are not outweighed by the interests or fundamental rights or
freedoms of data subjects. The law calls this the “Legitimate Interests”
condition for processing. E.G:

 * Helping to prevent and detect crime such as fraud and money laundering. Fraud
   and money laundering cost the British economy many billions of pounds every
   year. That cost is ultimately passed on to the public in the form of higher
   prices. By helping to avoid fraud such as identity theft, we help to stop
   this from happening.
 * Running a credit bureau. By providing credit information to lenders about a
   consumer’s creditworthiness a credit bureau is helping to avoid
   over-indebtedness of consumers, especially vulnerable consumers and the
   negative effects of excessive debt.


COMPLYING WITH/SUPPORTING COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

We must comply with various legal and regulatory requirements. Additionally, the
services we provide help other organisations to comply with their own legal and
regulatory obligations. For example, Experian is regulated by the Financial
Conduct Authority.

enquiries you raise,we rely on the legal basis of legitimate interest. This
personal data is stored to be able to respond to your contact request, enquiry,
request for further information or request to attend an Experian event/webinar.

To provide and improve customer support we rely on the legal basis of legitimate
interest to ensure you receive a high level of customer service.

For internal training purposes we rely on the legal basis of legitimate interest
to ensure you receive a high level of customer service.

For reporting and analytical purposes, we rely on the legal basis of legitimate
interest. This will enable us to improve our products and services, and to
provide appropriate levels of support to our customers.

For Experian B2B marketing communications we rely on the legal basis of consent
given at the point you contact us. You can opt out of receiving these B2B
marketing communications at any time by visiting this website:
/business-services/marketing-preferences/.

For market research we rely on the legal basis of consent given at the point you
contact us. Any invitation to share your feedback will include the option to not
take part in future surveys.

To maintain our records and other administrative purposes we rely on the legal
basis of legitimate interest. Like any business, we need to ensure that we
maintain comprehensive and up to date records of the ways we process your
personal information and other operational activities and therefore we will use
the information you provide for record-keeping, updates and general
administrative purposes.

To plan and run Experian events/webinars we rely on the legal basis of
legitimate interest. It is in our legitimate interest to ensure that the
event/webinar is well-run and that you have a good experience when you attend an
event/webinar that we are running.

For complaint and dispute resolution we rely on the legal basis legitimate

bring it to a close.

for compliance with a legal obligation’.



6. WHO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH

We share your personal information only with those persons who need to handle it
so we can provide the Experian products and services you’ve signed up to. We
also share it with companies within the Experian group who manage some parts of
the services for us; with suppliers who provide services to us which require
access to your personal information only; and with resellers, distributors and
agents involved in delivering the services we provide where necessary for them
to do so.

Lastly, we may also provide your personal information to fraud prevention
agencies. This is to protect the Experian group of companies and our customers,
to keep our systems secure, or where it’s necessary to protect either yours or
our best interests.

GROUP COMPANIES

As a member of the Experian group of companies, we can benefit from the large IT
infrastructure and expertise that exists within our business. This means that
the personal data you provide to us may be accessed by members of our group of
companies for support and administrative purposes.

SUPPLIERS

We use a number of service providers to support our business and these service
providers may have access to our systems in order to provide services to us
and/or to you on our behalf. This includes, for example, the third party company
who provides the livechat function on our website and third parties who help us

7. WHERE IN THE WORLD DO WE SEND INFORMATION?

Experian is based in the UK, which is where our main databases are. We also
operate elsewhere in and outside the European Economic Area, so we may access
your personal information from and transfer it to these locations as well. Don’t
worry though, any personal information we access from or transfer to these
locations is protected by European data protection standards.

While countries in the European Economic Area all ensure rigorous data
protection laws, there are parts of the world that may not be quite so rigorous
and don’t provide the same quality of legal protection when it comes to your
personal information.

To make sure we keep your personal information safe, we apply strict safeguards
when transferring it overseas. For example:

 * Sending your personal information to countries approved by the European
   Commission as having high quality data protection laws, such as Switzerland,
   Canada and the Isle of Man
 * Putting in place a contract that has been approved by the European Commission
   with the recipient of your personal information that provides a suitable
   level of high quality protection, or
 * Sending your personal information to a member organisation approved by the
   European Commission as providing a suitable level of high quality protection.
   For example, the Privacy Shield Scheme that exists in the US.

Still want to know more about the safeguards we use to protect your personal
information overseas? Feel free to contact us at
UK.DPOBusinessEnquiries@Experian.com
