Monitoring

Call Recording and Monitoring
We may monitor and record telephone calls and other communications with you. Recordings may be used for quality assurance, staff training and development, compliance monitoring, fraud prevention and detection, complaint handling, dispute resolution, regulatory requirements and to maintain an accurate record of communications with you.

Where calls are recorded, we will inform you at the time of the call where reasonably practicable. Recordings will be retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and in accordance with our data retention requirements.

Information about Other Individuals

If you give us information about others, you confirm that the other third party person has appointed you to act on their behalf.

This is also relevant where others are concerned if you indeed ask another person to act on your behalf as a third party.

Under the third party authorisation, the other person can:

  • Give consent on their behalf to the processing of his or her personal data for the purposes and reasons set out in this Policy
  • Receive on their behalf any data protection notices.

Such authorisation will remain in place until this has been revoked, either by verbal or written communication.

Your Rights

Under certain circumstances, by law you have:

  • The right to request access to your personal data which we process. This formal request is made under the DPA/ GDPR and is referred to as a Subject Access Request.

If you wish to exercise this right and make a SAR, you should put your request in writing; either by e-mail or letter shown at the bottom of this section.

This should include:

  • Proof of your identity and address (e.g. a copy of your driving licence or passport, and a recent utility or credit card bill within the last 3 months)
  • Specify the personal data you want access to, including any account or reference numbers where applicable.

 

  • The right to correct your personal data should you require us to correct any inaccuracies in your data. Please specify the information that is incorrect and what it should be replaced with during your working relationship with us. We will require sufficient information to identify you (e.g. account/order number, username, registration details)

 

  • The right to request erasure of your personal data where you find no good reason for us to continue to hold it. This is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances, for example, if we have a legal obligation, which as a regulated firm, we do.

 

  • The right to object to processing your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest or those of a third party. You also have the right to object to processing your data for direct marketing purposes. If your objection is not to direct marketing in general, but to direct marketing by a particular method (e.g. email or telephone) please specify the method that you are objecting to. We will require sufficient information to identify you (e.g. account/order number, username, registration details). See ‘Marketing’ for further information.

 

  • The right to restrict processing of your personal data, for example, you want us to suspend the processing of personal information as you want to establish its accuracy or reason for processing it

 

  • The right to have the data we hold about you transferred to another organisation, in certain circumstances.

 

  • The right to complain – If you wish to make a complaint on how your personal data has been handled, or how your complaint has been handled, in the first instance please email us at: [email protected]

 

Please see our Complaints page for further information on this - Lease4Less Complaints Handling Procedure

For any complaints regarding your data, you also have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the UK supervisory authority which is the Information Commissioner’s Office and can be contacted via the details at www.ico.org.uk.

If you wish to exercise any these rights you should put your request in writing to us at:

Lease4Less 1 City Approach, Floor 9, Suite 1, Albert Street, Eccles, Manchester M30 0BL or

Email us at: [email protected]

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting requirements. Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

Where specific legal or regulatory requirements apply to the retention of records, including records relating to regulated credit agreements, customer files and communications, we will retain those records for the period required by the applicable legislation or regulatory requirements.
