Legal basis for the processing of Personal Data

We will only process your Personal Data where we have a lawful reason for doing so. The lawful basis for the processing of Personal Data performed by us will always be at least one of the following:

Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (for instance for Revantage UK to carry out its daily activities, create statistics and tests, manage risk litigation (including disputes and collections), accounting, audits, tax returns etc) unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.

No automated decisions will be made in relation to the Personal Data processed.

Update of Personal Data

We will endeavour to keep the Personal Data in our possession or control accurate. Data Subjects providing Personal Data to us are however responsible for promptly informing us of any change to their Personal Data and making use of any relevant self-serve systems to update their own Personal Data regularly.

Do you have to provide your Personal Data to Revantage UK?

It is important that you are aware that not providing us with some specific Personal Data may unfortunately prevent Revantage Europe from interacting with you, from entering into an agreement or maintaining the related ongoing agreement with you.

  • We will only use your personal data where the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to process your Personal Data by law, or under the terms of a contract we are entering into with you or have already entered into with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to enter into or perform the contract to provide you with our services. In this case we may have to cancel a service you have with us but will notify you if this is the case at the time.

If we already hold some of the Personal Data that we need, for instance if you are already an associated third party, we may not need to collect some or all of your Personal Data again. In cases where providing personal information is optional, we will make this clear.
