Notification
of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes to this privacy statement and other places we deem
appropriate so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if
any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance
with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
|
|
If however, we are going to
use users personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users
via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we
use their information in this different manner. However, if
users have opted out of all communication with the site, then
they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information
be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material
changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information
already stored in our database, we will post a notice on our
web site notifying users of the change. |

Credit Searches |
We will make searches about
you at credit reference agencies who will supply us with credit
information, as well as information from the Electoral Register.
The agencies will record details of the search whether or not
this application proceeds.. |
Credit searches and other
information which is provided to us and/or the credit reference
agencies, about you and those with whom you are linked financially
may be used by John Brear Limited and other companies of John
Brear Limited Group
Other companies may use the record of searches and any other
information provided to the agencies if credit decisions are
made about you, or other members of your household. This information
may also be used for debt tracing and the prevention of money
laundering as well as the management of your account.
We may also pass information to financial and other organisations
involved in fraud prevention to protect ourselves and our customers
from theft and fraud. If you give us false or inaccurate information
and we suspect fraud, we will record this. |
