C&I LEASING is your data controller and is responsible for processing your personal information described in this Privacy Policy.

We will not disclose or divulge such data outside of C&I LEASING, other than to third party providers that assist us in providing these services to you. C&I LEASING does not share, sell, rent or trade personally identifiable information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

Why does C&I LEASING need to collect and store personal data?

In order for us to provide you with a service, we need to collect personal data. When you sign up for any C&I LEASING Online Solution or other C&I LEASING service or promotion that requires registration, we ask you for personal information such as your name, email address, date of birth, marital status, gender account number, phone number, next of kin, tax status information, recruitment information, references, other information included in the CV, qualification, employment records, CCTV footage. We may also collect special categories of personal data such as ethnicity, religion, health, including any medical condition. For certain services, such as our payment services, we require your debit or credit card information. We typically do not store this information and when we do, we maintain the data in encrypted form on secure servers. We may combine the information you submit under your account with information from other C&I LEASING services or third parties in order to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services. In any event, we are committed to ensuring that the information we collect and use is appropriate for this purpose, and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.

In terms of being contacted for marketing purposes C&I LEASING would contact you for additional consent.
