Privacy Policy

Churchill Private Finance Ltd is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal data when you use our website or engage with us in connection with our services.

 

For the purposes of data protection law, Churchill Private Finance Ltd is the data controller and is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under registration number ZC084857.

 

We may collect personal data when you submit an enquiry through our website, contact us by email or telephone, or engage us in connection with a finance transaction. The information we collect may include your name, contact details, company details, financial information and any other information relevant to a finance application.

 

We use your personal data to respond to enquiries, assess finance requirements, introduce you to lenders, package applications, communicate with you and manage our business operations. We may also use your information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering requirements.

 

Our lawful basis for processing personal data will typically be that processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract, to comply with legal obligations, or for our legitimate business interests. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent.

 

In order to arrange finance, we may share your personal data with lenders, credit reference agencies, professional advisers, valuers, solicitors, service providers and other relevant third parties. We only share information that is necessary for the relevant purpose. We require third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to process it in accordance with applicable law.

 

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, regulatory, tax or reporting requirements. We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

 

We may use third-party service providers to support our business, including IT systems, CRM platforms, cloud storage providers and professional advisers. Some providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK data protection legislation.

 

You have rights under data protection law, including the right to request access to your personal data, request correction of inaccurate data, request erasure in certain circumstances, restrict or object to processing, and request the transfer of your data. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. If you wish to exercise any of your rights, or if you have questions about how we handle your personal data, you may contact us using the contact details provided on our website. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully.

 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on our website.
