Collected Personal Data

We may collect personal information including your name, business name, email address, telephone number, business and financial information, funding requirements, information relating to directors or shareholders, and any documents or other information you provide as part of a funding enquiry or application.

Where you are introduced to FundStride by an accountant, broker or other professional adviser, we may also receive relevant information from that introducer.

Purpose for Collecting Data

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, assess funding requirements, identify potentially suitable lenders and finance providers, communicate with applicants and introducers, process funding applications, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations and maintain records relating to our services.

Where appropriate, information may be shared with selected lenders, finance providers and service providers involved in assessing or processing a funding application.

Lawful Basis

We process personal information where this is necessary to take steps at your request in connection with a potential funding application, to perform our contractual obligations, to comply with legal obligations, and where we have a legitimate interest in operating and improving our business and preventing fraud.

Where we rely on consent for a particular activity, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Sharing Your Information

We may share relevant personal information with selected lenders and finance providers, identity and fraud-prevention providers, professional advisers, technology and administration providers, and other organisations where required by law.

We only share information where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, regulatory, accounting and record-keeping requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on whether an enquiry proceeds to an application or completed transaction.

Your Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request erasure or restriction of processing, object to certain processing, and request transfer of information.

To exercise your rights, contact funding@fundstride.co.uk.
