As you may know, the Data Protection Act was strengthened in May 2018 for GDPR, offering consumers stronger powers regarding how their personal data is held by companies. We think this is a great idea, and has the ability to give consumers greater confidence about companies who store and processing their data.

    FindYourPPI, for example, contacts Finance Companies on behalf of clients using this very legislation, requiring that they inform us about our clients' PPI policies. A consumer has every right to know about what information is held and being processed by a finance company, and that's why we've created this helpful form to guide you through the sorts of queries you may wish to raise to our Data Protection Officer about the data we hold about you and this will also greatly help with the speed at which we can respond to your request.

    You have advised that you would like to be removed or suppressed in our system. Suppression, rather than removal, means that we would store a limited amount of information about you in our system in order to prevent us from ever contacting you again - we would also inform the "Data Controller" (the company who has supplied your information to us) to also suppress your data. If you choose to have your data removed from our system, then we will remove you from our system entirely, and instruct our data provider to do the same which could mean that there is a slight risk that we may send future marketing material again. We NEVER share your details with third parties.

    IMPORTANT - In order to help combat unwanted mailing letters, you can register yourself on the Mailing Preference Service website www.mpsonline.org.uk - legitimate data houses such as the ones we use are required to ensure they do not rent data for the purposes of marketing letter to ANYONE that appears on this register.

    You have advised that you would like to be removed or suppressed from our systems. Unfortunately we must advise that, as a client, we are required by the FCA to retain your information on our system for 12 months after our last contact with you, and for 6 year, as company policy for auditing purposes. This not only allows our regulator to review our work to ensure we are staying compliant with their guidelines, but it also means that if you ever have any concerns with the way in which we handled your case, we will have the ability to help put things right. During this time, your data is stored with GDPR security practices in place. However, other than to follow up on any outstanding invoices or offers that have arisen from our work, we will securely suppress your data and we will not contact you again. We NEVER share your details with third parties.
