If you would like further information on how we safeguard your information, please contact us at dataprotection@liberis.co.uk
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may make non-personally identifiable information available to third parties for various purposes. This data maybe automatically collected and would be analysed to create an aggregated view of the data, ensure the reported information was anonymous.
Retention of your data
We’ll keep your data only for as long as we need to – that time period may be different in different circumstances. Here are our most common scenarios:
We’ll keep records of any financial transactions, and details regarding the information that you provided to us while making an application for one of our products, for a minimum of 7 years from the end of our relationship with you. We need to do this so that we can respond to any complaints or disputes.
We’ll keep the information that’s needed to provide you with the service that you’ve requested for as long as it takes us to provide the services and for 7 years from termination of the contract for provision of the services.
If you’ve asked us not to use your details for marketing purposes, we will need to keep some details to make sure our systems and processes reflect your preferences. We will implement your opt-out request as quickly as possible. However, you may receive emails for up to 30 days, or marketing by post for up to 60 days, following your opt-out request. This is because our marketing campaigns are usually prepared about a month in advance, and it is often not feasible to remove an individual’s details after this point.
In addition, we will retain any data about you which we need in order to comply with our legal obligations (for example applicable UK tax law require us to hold onto data for a minimum of 6 years).
If we no longer need your data, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.
Consequences of processing

If we, or a fraud prevention agency, determine that you pose a fraud or money laundering risk, we may refuse to provide the services and financing you have requested, or we may stop providing existing services to you.
A record of any fraud or money laundering risk will be retained by the fraud prevention agencies, and may result in others refusing to provide services, financing or employment to you. If you have any questions about this, please contact us – you’ll find all of our details in the “Contacting us” section of this notice.
Your rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation and UK privacy laws you have a number of important rights free of charge. In summary, those include rights to:
For further information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, see the Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on individual rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.
If you would like to contact us about any of the rights we’ve described above, please send your query to: dataprotection@liberis.co.uk and we will reply within the legal time limits, where applicable.
Automated decisions
As part of the processing of your personal data, decisions may be made by automated means.
We make automated decisions based on the information that you provide, and that we gather from third parties, as part of your application to determine your financial profile. Automated decisioning is the process of determining whether to approve an application for funding without the use of a manual underwriter. Instead a series of scorecards, rule and algorithms are used to make this decision automatically without any human intervention. In addition to determining whether an applicant is approved for funding the results of the automated decisioning could also drive the size of the advance a customer is able to take and the size of the fee associated with it.
This means that we may use automated decisions to provide you with a price reflecting your profile. The outcome of these automated decisions may mean that we do not approve your application for one of our products, or that our pricing is adjusted based on the information we have.
These automated decisions use a statistical process based on your historical transactions (details you have provided) and historical credit performance as a business and as an owner of a business (details you have provided and/or publicly available information). If you are an existing customer, the automated decisions will also take into account your performance of previous/current contractual obligations.
We may also automatically decide that you pose a fraud risk if our processing reveals your behaviour to be consistent with that of known fraudsters; or if there is evidence that attempts have been made to conceal your true information.
You have the right to request manual decision making in place of automated decision making. If you would like more information in relation to automated decision making or if you would like to request that your application is referred for a manual decision: please contact us at dataprotection@liberis.co.uk.

Submitting a Verifiable Request to Know, Correct, or Delete Personal Information

To submit a request, we must verify your identity:
We will generally avoid requesting additional information from you to verify you unless necessary. This information will only be used to verify your identity and will delete any new Personal Information we collect to verify your identity as soon as possible.
If we are unable to verify your identity, we will let you know and explain why we were unable to verify your identity.
If you would like to use an authorized agent, which is an individual or business registered with the Secretary of State, to submit a verifiable request, you must provide the authorized agent with written permission to do so and verify your own identity directly with us or directly confirm that you provided the authorized agent with permission to submit the request. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf.
Please note that we will not respond to a request for your Personal Information if you have submitted more than two requests in a 12-month period.
Responding to a Request to Know, Correct, or Delete Personal Information
Once we receive your request, we will send you an acknowledgment email within 10 days and provide you with next steps for processing your request, including verifying your identity.
