The provision of the above pieces of information by you are necessary and proportional for us to be able to provide the requested Services to you. If the requested information is not provided, we may not be able to provide the requested Services.
In the course of providing the Services, we collect or receive information in different ways and relating to various groups of individuals (described in section 4 above). We use this information for a number of purposes described further below.
If you provide information to us about any person other than yourself, you should ensure that you have a legal basis for doing so and that you have complied with your transparency obligations under data protection law.
We will only request information we require to provide the Service.
In order to collect, use, share, and otherwise process your information for the purposes described in this Notice, we rely on a number of legal bases, some of which are mentioned above, including where:
Where we collect, use, disclose and otherwise process your information based on legitimate interests, we may rely on the following interests:
In the course of providing the Services, we share information with various third parties, including financial institutions, data storage providers and service providers such as Microsoft.
We do this based upon the legal bases and exceptions mentioned in section 7 of this Notice.
In certain cases, we may need to transfer your information to recipients outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), such as where it is necessary to provide our Services.
Where we transfer your information, we do so in accordance with EU data protection law. We only transfer personal information to these countries when it is necessary for the services we provide you, or it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or subject to safeguards that assure the protection of your information. We may rely on different legal mechanisms to ensure the transfer is lawful. If the recipient is in a country that is not deemed ‘adequate’ by the European Commission, we may enter into the ‘standard contractual clauses’ with the recipient. These are contracts that contain standard commitments approved by the EU Commission protecting the privacy and security of the information transferred.
Our third-party service providers may rely on Binding Corporate Rules for Processors (“BCR-P”), which are a global, company-wide privacy framework that allows the transfer of customer personal data outside of the EEA once approved by the European DPAs.
Please note that the privacy protections and the rights of authorities to access your information in some of these countries may not be the same as in your home country. We will only transfer information as permitted by law.
Microsoft, a third-party provider, is certified to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EU to the United States.

Automated Decision Making refers to a decision which is taken solely on the basis of automated processing of your personal data. This means processing using, for example, software code or an algorithm, which does not require human intervention.
Profiling means using automated processes without human intervention (such as computer programmes) to analyse your personal data in order to evaluate your behaviour or to predict things about you which are relevant in an financial services context, such as your likely credit risk profile. As Profiling uses automated processing, it is sometimes connected with automated decision making. Not all profiling results in automated decision making, but it can do.
We may use automated decision making to carry out a credit check on prospective customers. In an underwriting context, profiling is routinely carried out on your information provided in your credit application to assess your individual risk in order to make a prediction about the likelihood of success in obtaining credit and to determine which financial institutions are most suitable to send your application to
You have certain rights in respect of automated decision making, where that decision has significant effects on you, including where it produces a legal effect on you. See Section 12 for more information about your rights.
We will maintain appropriate technical and organisation measures to protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to your information. We will provide a level of security that is proportionate to the risks that are presented by the processing activity, having regard to the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing.
We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services or to perform our contract with you. We will retain and use your personal data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. We also consider regulatory and guidance issued by Central Bank of Ireland and the Data Protection Commission.
You have a number of rights in relation to your information that we process. To exercise these rights, please contact us at dataprotection@Loanitt.ie.
While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in specific circumstances. We describe these rights below.
