This notice does not apply to other organisations' websites, apps, products, services and social media accessed from our websites and/or apps. When you leave our website(s) and/or apps, we encourage you to read the privacy policies and/or notices of every website and app that you visit. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy policies or notices on third-party websites or apps. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites or apps.

2. What data will we collect?

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (which is known as anonymous data).

There are different ways in which we collect your information both directly from you and from third parties. For example:

2.1 Information we receive directly from you:

When you register your interest, apply for, use and/or purchase products and/or services from us, or contact us with queries, we may ask you to give us, where necessary, personal and contact details including your name, address, email address and phone number, as well as your financial transaction history. You may also wish to tell us about yourself if you consider that you are a vulnerable customer, or if you require any extra help or support, or have any specific accessibility or customer service needs.

We may collect and record data pertaining to vulnerability to assess whether a customer should be placed on a priority fault repair list. We encourage you to inform us if you believe that you may qualify as a vulnerable customer or require extra assistance during the sign-up process or at any other time. A vulnerability could include your age, any disabilities or health conditions or any financial circumstances of you or a member of your household. Additionally, we may collect information to determine if a customer relies on their landline for emergency calls, especially if they lack a mobile phone or experience poor coverage within their residence, or if they are dependent upon a telecare device.

When you write to us, talk to us on the phone, email or communicate with us via electronic messaging (such as SMS) or via any app that we operate, we may collect personal and contact details including your name, address, phone number, email address, as well as any other information that you provide to us via such communications.

If you are invited to participate in our customer surveys which will help us provide you with improved services, we will collect the information you provide to us including your name, phone number, email address and information about how you use our website, apps, products and/or services.

We may also collect your personal data, which could include your name, address, phone number, and email address, via online forms that appear on our website and/or third-party platforms.

2.2 Information we collect about you when you use our products and services:

When you visit our website(s) and/or apps, we'll use cookies (which are stored on your device(s) - your laptop, mobile phone, tablet etc.) to collect information about your use of our online services. See our Cookies Policy for more details.

When you use our services, we may collect information about your use of those services including the following:

  • Usage data - including frequency, time and data used per month

  • Interactive data including apps usage data, websites usage / visits data
  • Device data including IP address, device make and manufacturer, browser information and other similar identifying information required from your devices to communicate with websites and applications on the internet.

We may also monitor, record, store and use the communications we have directly with you to improve the quality of our customer service, especially to address your specific needs if you are a vulnerable person and/or for training, operational and compliance purposes.

2.3 Information collected from others:

We may supplement the information that we collect from you and about your use of our products and/or services, with information that we receive from third parties.

  • Data from other organisations who have obtained your permission to share information about you with us
  • Data accessible to us from publicly available sources such as councils, company registers, land registry, electoral rolls and online search engines

  • Financial and transaction data from providers of technical and payment services

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with products or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. Why we may collect data about you

There are many reasons why we may legitimately collect and process your personal information and data, including:

3.1 Contractual obligations

We may process your personal information where it is necessary either to take steps at your request before entering into a contract with you for the provision of our products and/or services, or to perform our obligations under that contract.

  • To comply with court orders or other legal processes
  • To prevent fraud and money laundering
  • To ensure network security and integrity

3.3 Legitimate interests

We may process your personal information where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Examples include:

  • Sharing your data with third parties for marketing purposes

4. Who we share your data with

We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:

We do not sell your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes.

5. International transfers

We do not normally share personal data outside the UK, but if we do, we will ensure that data protection is to the same standard as within the UK. We may transfer your personal data to countries outside the UK where:

  • The country has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK government
  • We have put in place appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to ensure your data is protected
  • The transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract with you
  • You have given your explicit consent to the transfer

6. How we protect your data

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Our security measures are industry-standard ensuring data is safeguarded. Our security measures include:

  • Encryption of data where appropriate
  • Regular penetration testing of systems
  • Security controls which protect the entire Olilo Information Technology infrastructure from external attack and unauthorised access
  • Regular cyber security assessments of all service providers who may handle your personal data
  • Regular scenario planning and crisis management exercises to ensure we are ready to respond to cyber security attacks and data security incidents
  • Internal policies setting out our data security approach
  • Training for employees on security and privacy

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and although we will do our best to protect your information and/or personal data, we cannot guarantee the safety of any personal information you transmit to us using online methods.

7. How long we keep your information

By providing you with products or services, we create records that contain your information, and/or data such as customer account records, activity records, tax records and lending and credit account records. Records can be held on a variety of media (physical or electronic) and in a number of formats.

We manage our records to help us to serve our customers well (for example for operational reasons, such as dealing with any queries relating to your account) and to comply with legal and/or regulatory requirements. Records help us demonstrate that we are meeting our responsibilities and provide evidence of our business activities.

Retention periods for records are determined based on the type of record, the nature of the activity, product or service, applicable local legal or regulatory requirements. Retention periods may be changed from time to time based on business or legal and regulatory requirements. However, we will only retain your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it.

We may, on exception, retain your information for longer periods, particularly where we need to withhold destruction or disposal based on an order from any courts of competent authority, or in relation to an investigation by law enforcement agencies or our regulators. This is intended to make sure that we are able to produce records as evidence, if needed to those respective authorities.
