Alternatively, you can withdraw your consent by contacting our Data Protection Officer at admin@ineedcctv.co.uk or using the contact details stated in section 15 / 16. If you change your mind about agreeing to us processing your personal data, this will not have any effect on the lawfulness of any processing we have carried out before you changed your mind.

INEED CREATIVE MARKETING LTD and our local installers/suppliers will contact you regarding your enquiry.

We have a legitimate interest in processing your data (i.e. to share your enquiry with our panel of local CCTV and security installers/suppliers to obtain the quotes you have applied for).

It also includes processing your data for identity verification and fraud prevention purposes. This is in relation to appropriate agencies which are listed within section 10.

For supplier data, we share lead information (customer enquiries) with selected suppliers based on match criteria (e.g., location, services), but do not share supplier contact details with customers or other third parties without consent.

FRAUD PREVENTION AGENCIES (FPA’S)

If we reasonably believe false or inaccurate information has been provided, including in relation to a person’s identity, and fraud is suspected, details, including personal data may be passed to fraud prevention agencies to prevent fraud.

Your details may be passed to statutory bodies, regulators, legal bodies, fraud prevention entities and identity and address verification agencies who may record and use your details. They may also disclose your information to other organisations for debt tracing, and fraud prevention purposes. If you have any queries regarding these uses, please contact the relevant organisation.

By submitting an enquiry form on our site, you confirm that all of the information provided is true and accurate. You also, when applying, authorise the service providers to use fraud prevention agencies to help make relevant decisions.

What Is A Fraud Prevention Agency?

Fraud Prevention agencies collect, maintain and share information on any known or suspected fraudulent activity.

They work in the following ways with various organisations:

If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details will be passed to Fraud Prevention Agencies

Law enforcement agencies may access and use this information.

FPA’s along with ourselves and other organisations, may also access and use this information to prevent fraud, for example, when:

• Checking details on applications for services or facilities;
• Managing accounts or other facilities;
• Recovering debt;
• Checking details on proposals and claims for all types of services; and,
• Checking details of job applicants and employees.

We, and other organisations may also access and use the information recorded by FPAs from other countries.

You have the right to object to this processing at any time by contacting us at admin@ineedcctv.co.uk.

Some of our local installers/suppliers will use your personal information to assess your circumstances (including information about any third party who is named on the enquiry) and verify the information that you have provided before providing a quote to you. Some providers may carry out checks with fraud prevention agencies. Both public data (e.g. the electoral roll) and private data may be checked in this way. Some providers may carry out checks against data they already hold on you, (or is held by the company whose brand they administer the service for, or members of their group of companies) such as data from existing products, account data, data from previous service transactions, accounts you may hold with them. If providers carry out these searches, a record of the search may appear on relevant reports.

This information exchange allows providers to verify the information that is provided during the quote process (including information about any third party who is named on the enquiry), and also helps to detect fraudulent applications. These checks are not unique to users of our Services – they may also be carried out if you obtain quotes from other sources.

If you decide to enter into a contract, the information you have provided to us, together with any further information requested by, and supplied by you or us to the third party provider, will be held by the provider for the purposes set out in that provider’s privacy policy. Therefore, you are strongly advised to read your chosen provider’s privacy policy and satisfy yourself as to the purposes for which the provider will use your personal information before entering into the agreement. We have no responsibility for the uses to which a provider puts your personal information.

Our Sites are secure websites using Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates and keeping information about you secure is very important to us. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. Sensitive information, for example, your contact details, is encrypted to minimise the risk of interception during transit.

We do our best to keep the information you disclose to us secure. However, we can’t guarantee or warrant the security of any information which you send to us, and you do so at your own risk. By using our Sites you accept the inherent risks of providing information online and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security.
