We collect and store your personal data for specific purposes

LoanScouter will only collect, store and process personal data about you for the purposes mentioned above or for other lawful commercial purposes. We will only collect, store and process so-called general personal data as listed above.

We collect only relevant and necessary personal data

LoanScouter will only process personal data about you which are relevant, sufficient and necessary for achieving the purposes mentioned above and which the specific processing concerns. LoanScouter will thus not process any additional information than necessary for achieving the specific purpose. However, LoanScouter will also process your personal data to the extent necessary to ensure LoanScouter’s compliance with current legislation.

We will minimise the processing of your personal data as much as possible, including the volume of processed personal data. We will thus examine whether some of the data types processed may be used in depersonalised or pseudonymous form without affecting the result of the processing.

We obtain your consent before processing your personal data

LoanScouter will obtain your consent before processing your personal data for the purposes stated above. Your consent constitutes the basis of LoanScouter’s processing of your personal data, unless LoanScouter has another legal basis for processing your personal data.

Your consent is voluntary and you may withdraw it at any time, see further details further down.

If LoanScouter wishes to use your personal data for other purposes than the purposes for which they were originally collected, LoanScouter will inform you about the purpose and obtain your consent in advance. If the personal data may lawfully be processed on another basis, we will inform you accordingly before the processing takes place.

Persons under 18 years of age may not use LoanScouter’s services.

We do not disclose your personal data without consent

We will only disclose your personal data to cooperation partners/lenders, including for the purpose of marketing, if you have consented to this in advance. In connection with obtaining such consent, we will inform you about the purpose of the processing of your personal data. You may object to such disclosure at any time, and in such case we will not make such disclosure.

However, we will not obtain your consent if LoanScouter is obligated to disclose your information, e.g. to an authority.

In addition, LoanScouter reserves the right to use a processor outside the EU/EEA to help LoanScouter carry on its business. However, this will only take place in compliance with current rules on international transfer of personal data.

We verify and update your personal data

LoanScouter will verify that the personal data processed about you are not incorrect or not updated – and takes reasonable steps to ensure that incorrect personal data are deleted or rectified immediately. Our service depends on your personal data being correct and updated. We therefore ask you to indicate any relevant changes in your data. You can use your login for LoanScouter or the contact details above to notify relevant changes in your personal data.

We delete your personal data when they are no longer necessary considering the purpose

LoanScouter will delete your personal data when they are no longer necessary for achieving the purposes for which the data were collected, processed and stored.

If you have consented to LoanScouter sending emails, text messages and letters with marketing to you, LoanScouter will ask you to renew your consent to the marketing every 3 years if you have been inactive on your profile in that 3-year period.
