  • Communications and records of calls, emails, enquiries and complaints.
  • Technical information such as IP address, browser, device type, referring pages and cookie preferences.
  • Marketing preferences and consent records.
  • Depending on the product or service you request, we may also collect identity and verification documents, including proof of identity, proof of home address, copies of identification documents (including front and back where required), proof of bank account such as a recent one-month bank statement, and proof of business activity such as photographs of the inside or outside of business premises, a business website or relevant social media presence.
  • We will only request information or documents that are reasonably relevant to the enquiry, verification or application process and the requirements of the relevant provider or partner.

Please do not submit special-category or highly sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it and explain why it is required.

2. How we collect information

We may collect information directly from you through website forms, telephone calls, email, messages and documents you provide. We may also receive information from a third-party provider, referral partner or publicly available business source where lawful.

Where you provide documents for verification, such as identification documents, proof of address, bank statements or proof of business activity, we will use them only for relevant verification, application, service and related compliance purposes.

We will identify and document the appropriate lawful basis for each use. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we will consider the nature of the processing and balance our interests against your rights and interests.

4. Sharing your information

We may share relevant information with:

  • Independent card-payment, merchant-acquiring and terminal providers.
  • EPOS software, hardware, installation and support providers.
  • Business-finance providers, brokers or authorised firms where appropriate.

Where required for an application or verification process, relevant information may include identity, address, bank-account and business-verification documents. We will only share information that is relevant to the applicable enquiry, application or service.

Before sharing a finance enquiry with a provider, we will provide relevant information about the proposed sharing and obtain any consent required by law or our provider arrangements. We do not sell personal information for unrelated third-party marketing.

5. International transfers

Some technology suppliers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we will use an appropriate transfer mechanism and safeguards required by data-protection law.

Where applicable, we will provide information about the relevant safeguards or how you can obtain further information about them.

6. How long we keep information

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the enquiry, service, legal, regulatory, accounting, fraud-prevention and complaint-handling purposes for which it was collected. Retention periods vary by record type and provider requirements. We securely delete or anonymise information when it is no longer required.

For identity, address, bank-account and business-verification documents, the retention period will depend on the purpose for which the document was collected, applicable provider requirements and our legal, regulatory, fraud-prevention and record-keeping obligations. We will not retain such documents indefinitely where they are no longer required.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Access to identity, financial and business-verification information should be limited to people and suppliers who need it for the relevant purpose, subject to appropriate access controls and confidentiality requirements.

8. Your data-protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and information about automated decision-making. You may also withdraw consent where consent is relied upon.

To exercise a right, email support@britsbusinesshub.net. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Where you request access to information that includes copies of identity documents, bank statements or other verification records, we may take reasonable steps to confirm your identity before releasing information.

9. Marketing

We will respect your marketing preferences. You can unsubscribe using the link in a marketing message or contact us. Service communications about an active enquiry are not marketing.

10. Cookies and similar technologies

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy. Non-essential technologies should not be activated unless valid consent has been obtained.
