This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) has been prepared by Convorto Limited (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”). We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and are entered on the Financial Services Register with registered address c/o Burton Varley Ltd Suite 3, 2nd Floor, Didsbury House, 748 – 754 Wilmslow Road, Manchester, United Kingdom, M20 2DW and licensed by the Information Commissioners Office (registration number ZA746052).

This website (the “Site”) is owned and operated by Convorto Limited. The Policy relates to this Site. It is set out to meet the requirements of the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 (the “Act”) and it relates to the collection, protection, disclosure and use of personal data belonging only to living individuals.

This Policy, together with our Website Terms and Conditions, sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data. By visiting our Site or using any of our services you are accepting and consenting to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

1.1. We may collect and process the following data about you:

1.1.1. information that you may provide by filling in online forms and registration forms (including registering for products, services or newsletters) on the Site. This includes information provided at the time when you complete an online Application Form on our Site, or request further services. We may also ask you for information in the event you report a problem with our Site;

1.1.2. correspondence, or a record of it if you should contact us, together with your contact details and our responses;

1.1.3. surveys that we use for research purposes, which we have asked you to complete, although you do not have to respond to them;

1.1.4. details of your visit to our Site, and the resources that you access. See also Clause 6.2.

2. Our Service

2.1. We are a credit broker and in order to provide our service we share your information with our lenders, brokers and/or third parties (the “Partners”) to assist you in finding a suitable financial services product.

2.2.1. When you complete our online Application Form on our Site we process this data on the basis that we have a legitimate interest in processing this data.

2.2.2. The legitimate interests basis is defined by Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR as being where ‘processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests’.

2.3. As part of the service that we provide, we may contact you regarding your search for the product or service that you have asked us to help you with, unless you have requested that we do not do so.

2.4 In addition, we may also send you information regarding related products or services using the contact information that you supplied to us as part of your application. This is an essential part of the service that we provide to you.

2.5.1. The basis in which we are able to contact you is called ‘soft opt in’, which applies when you have previously entered information on our Site and provided your information to us. This is useful for the majority of customers as it enables us to share related products and services similar to which you had requested previously.

2.5.2. We offer a simple way for you to ‘opt out’ from us contacting you both when you submit an online Application Form on our site and in every message we send to you via this link optout.cc.

3. How we use your information

3.1. We use information held about you in the following ways:

3.1.1. to process and submit your Application Form to our Partners;

3.1.2. to provide you with the best possible service;

3.1.3. to ensure that content from our Site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer; and

3.1.4. to notify you about changes to our products and services.

3.2. In addition to the above, we may disclose your personal information to third parties:

3.2.1. to prepare or send any communications to you, or to assist us in connection with any of our administrative or business functions, or in the provision of any of our services to you;

3.2.2. if the Company or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets;

3.2.3. if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Website Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

3.3. It is sometimes necessary for the Company to transfer information held about you to lenders and brokers based outside of the European Economic Area. The Eighth Data Protection Principle of the Act restricts the transfer of personal data to a country outside the European Economic Area unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects. By submitting your Application Form you consent to this transfer. You may withdraw your consent at a later date by writing to us at [email protected] or William Ellis Sinclair, 8A Dunraven Place, Bridgend, CF31 1JD.

3.4. When you submit an Application Form you will be required to consent to the passing of your information to Partners who may use it to assess your creditworthiness and contact you directly in respect of your application for credit. If you do not wish to receive such communications, then do not submit an Application Form via this Site.

3.5. If you wish to opt-out of receipt of marketing communications from us at any time you may do so by emailing us at [email protected], writing to us at William Ellis Sinclair, 8A Dunraven Place, Bridgend, CF31 1JD or visiting unsub.cloud.

3.6. Any information or statistics relating to our business that we disclose to others shall not identify you personally. We may, for example, perform statistical analysis of the behaviour of the users of our Site in order to measure interest in the various areas of our Site and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers have seen or “clicked” their advertising banners.
