The Kind of Information We Hold About You

Personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

To explain this to you, we will when necessary list our different services when we collect or use different information about you.

How Is Your Personal Information Collected?

We collect personal information about you when you contact us, visit our website, make an enquiry about one of our services, engage us to provide a service to arrange a loan or contact us for another specific purpose.

What Special Category Data do we collect about you?

At Smart Money we do not collect Special Category data from you during the normal course of our business. On the rare occasion when we do have to ask about your health, for example, we will always do this with your explicit consent.

How We Will Use Information About You?

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to, this is called a legal basis (highlighted in bold) for processing your information (data).

Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

  • Where you have entered a contract with us to provide you with a service. This would be when you engage us for one of our services.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation. This would be when we must comply with lawful authority to disclose information.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. An example of this is when we send you updated information about a service you have had from us in the past that we feel you may be interested in.

We may also use your personal information in the following situations, which are likely to be rare:

  • Where you have given your consent to contact you for a specific purpose.
  • In an emergency and it is in your vital interest that we share your information when we have it recorded.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

Rights of Access, Correction, Erasure, and Restriction

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current.

Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us. Under certain circumstances, by law, you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request the erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.If you want to review, verify, correct, or request the erasure of your personal information, object to the processing, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact our DPM at dpm@smartmoney.je You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

How to request your information and what we may need from you

Please use the Data Subject Access request form, available on our Cookie Banner. If you have any questions about this process or any of your rights, please contact our DPM, at dpm@smartmoney.je

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.

We will respond to your request without undue delay, but certainly within Four Weeks after and upon satisfactory verification of your identity. Depending on the complexity of the request, we may apply an extension of up to Eight Weeks on the response time, but you will be informed of this as soon as possible after a valid request is made.

Right to Withdraw Consent

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing, and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time.

To withdraw your consent, please contact our DPM at dpm@smartmoney.je
