We never charge our customers or website visitors a fee.

It is free to use this website. 

It is free to search for a loan using this website. 

If we introduce you to a credit broker, it is free to talk with them and to receive quotes. There may be fees, charged by the Broker if you take out a loan through them and you should ask the broker about any fees.

If you are accepted by a lender, there is no charge from us. The lender may charge a admin or setup fee. This is unusual but you should always check with the lender before progressing with the loan.

We are a profit making company and we do make money. We make money in two ways:

Introducer commission: Where we have introduced you to a broker or a lender is willing to offer you a loan, we will  receive a one off commission, from a lender, broker or debt advice company.

Funding Fee: Where we have introduced you to a broker, lender or debt advice company and you have taken out a product with that provider, we will receive a commission once you have taken out the product.

Charging a broker, lender or debt advice company means that we don’t have to charge our customers or website users which means they can conduct as many loans searches as they wish in the knowledge that it wont cost them a penny.

If you would like further information about our fees and commissioners, please email compliance@ramseylomax.co.uk 

Some of our external third parties or traffic partners such as Facebook, google and others or software providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

Please email compliance@ramseylomax.co.uk if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

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.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

 

Ramsey Lomax LTD is authorised and regulated by the FCA. As such we have regulatory requirements to maintain details of our customers for at least 6 years. In some cases we may retain personal data for longer than 6 years. 

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.

 

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by compliance@ramseylomax.co.uk . By law we have to keep certain information about our customers and this data will be held solely and securely for those legal purposes. 

 

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure below for further information. However, an erasure request may be partially declined. In the event a complaint has been made, coupled with an erasure request, we will maintain records relating to the complaint, including basic information such as name, email and telephone. In the event that you do not wish to be contacted by us, we are required to maintain a log of this request, withholding applicable data to ensure we no longer contact you further.

 

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at compliance@ramseylomax.co.uk

 

SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate. We will respond to your request within one month of receiving your request. We will inform you of the third parties to whom your data has been disclosed.

WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

The right to be informed encompasses our obligation to provide ‘fair processing information’, typically through a privacy notice. It emphasises the need for transparency over our uses of personal data.

The information we will supply relating to the processing of personal data must be:

  • Concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible;
  • Written in clear and plain language, particularly if addressed to a child; and
  • Free of charge.

The use of data, including how we protect and store data, will be made readily available to individuals through our privacy notice on our website.

What information must be supplied?

The below summarises the information we should supply to individuals and at what stage:

  • We need to provide full contact details of our firm (and where applicable, the controller’s representative) and the data protection officer;
  • We need to detail the purpose of the processing and the legal basis for the processing;
  • We need to include the legitimate interests of the controller or third party, where applicable;
  • List the categories of personal data;
  • We need to detail any recipient or categories of recipients of the personal data;
  • We need to include details of transfers to third country and safeguards;
  • We need to include our retention period or criteria used to determine the retention period;
  • We need to include the existence of each of data subject’s rights;
  • We need to inform the customer of their right to withdraw consent at any time, where relevant;
  • We need to inform the customer of their right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  • We are to inform the customer of the source the personal data originates from and whether it came from publicly accessible sources;
  • Whether the provision of personal data part of a statutory or contractual requirement or obligation and possible consequences of failing to provide the personal data; and
  • We are to include the existence of automated decision making, including profiling and information about how decisions are made, the significance and the consequences.

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and the following information:

(a) the purposes of the processing;

(b) the categories of personal data concerned;

(c) the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;

(d) where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;

(e) the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing;

(f) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

(g) where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source.

(h) Information on the existence of automated decision making, including profiling, and providing meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Where personal data is transferred to a third country outside the EEA or to an international organisation, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 relating to the transfer.

Such safeguards include:

A legally binding and enforceable instrument between public authorities or bodies; and

Binding corporate rules in accordance with Article 47.

When requested, the controller shall provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies requested by the data subject, the controller may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs.

Where the data subject makes the request by electronic means, and unless otherwise requested by the data subject, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic form. The right to obtain a copy shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

You can opt out of any service provided by us at any time by emailing compliance@ramseylomax.co.uk

Under the DPA, individuals have a right to ‘block’ or suppress processing of personal data. The restriction of processing under the GDPR is similar, as detailed in Articles 18 (Right to restriction of processing) and 19 (Notification obligation regarding rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing) respectively.

When processing is restricted, we are permitted to store the personal data, but not process it further. We can retain just enough information about the individual to ensure that the restriction is respected in future. This needs to be applied and communicated to each data processor where applicable and documented where appropriate.

When does the right to restrict processing apply?

We are required to restrict the processing of personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where an individual contest the accuracy of the personal data, we should restrict the processing until we have verified the accuracy of the personal data. We would do this by asking the individual to confirm the information is correct and where required update accordingly.
  • Where an individual has objected to the processing (where it was necessary for the performance of a public interest task or purpose of legitimate interests), and we are considering whether our organisation’s legitimate grounds override those of the individual. This can only be confirmed by way of evidenced consent from the individual or for the purpose of criminal proceedings.
  • When processing is unlawful, and the individual opposes erasure and requests restriction instead, we are obliged to ensure this request is documented and the data collected is only used for the intent on which it was originally collected for, and not process it further.
  • If we no longer need the personal data but the individual requires the data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim. We would ask the individual to submit a DSAR and release the data upon receipt and in accordance with the DSAR procedure.
  • We may need to review procedures to ensure we are able to determine where you may be required to restrict the processing of personal data.
  • If we have disclosed the personal data in question to third parties, we must inform them about the restriction on the processing of the personal data, unless it is impossible or involves disproportionate effort to do so. We must inform individuals when we decide to lift a restriction on processing.

Individuals have the right to object to:

  • Processing based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling);
  • Direct marketing (including profiling); and
  • Processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.
  •  

How to comply with the right to object?

If we process personal data for the performance of a legal task or our organisation’s legitimate interests Individuals must have an objection on “grounds relating to his or her particular situation”.

We must stop processing the personal data unless:

  • We can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the individual; or
  • the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

We must inform individuals of their right to object “at the point of first communication” and in our privacy notice.

This must be “explicitly brought to the attention of the data subject and shall be presented clearly and separately from any other information”.

If we process personal data for direct marketing purposes

We must stop processing personal data for direct marketing purposes as soon as we receive an objection. There are no exemptions or grounds to refuse.

We must deal with an objection to processing for direct marketing at any time and free of charge.

We must inform individuals of their right to object “at the point of first communication” and in your privacy notice.

This must be “explicitly brought to the attention of the data subject and shall be presented clearly and separately from any other information”.

If we process personal data for research purposes

Individuals must have “grounds relating to his or her particular situation” in order to exercise their right to object to processing for research purposes.

If we are conducting research where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a public interest task, we are not required to comply with an objection to the processing.

If our processing activities fall into any of the above categories and are carried out online:

We must offer a way for individuals to object online.

OUR FIRM MUST PROVIDE A COPY OF ALL THE PERSONAL DATA UNDERGOING PROCESSING, COMMONLY KNOWN AS A SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST (‘SAR’), WHEN REQUESTED. IN CLEAR TERMS, A SUBJECT ACCESS ENABLES AN INDIVIDUAL TO FIND OUT WHAT PERSONAL DATA OUR FIRM HOLDS ABOUT THEM.  THIS MUST BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE INITIALLY, HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT THAT ANY FURTHER COPIES ARE REQUESTED, WE MAY CHARGE A REASONABLE, ADMINISTRATIVE COST-FEE. IN THIS CONTEXT, EXCESSIVE OR IDENTICAL REQUESTS FOR A DATA SUBJECT’S DATA ARE CHARGEABLE, AS FAR AS IS REASONABLE FOR THE COST OUR FIRM INCURS. OUR FIRM MUST ENSURE THAT WHERE THE REQUEST IS MADE IN AN ELECTRONIC FORM, THE SUBJECT MUST RECEIVE THE REQUESTED INFORMATION IN AN ACCESSIBLE AND COMMONLY USED ELECTRONIC FORM.
 

In compliance to Recital 63 of the GDPR, we will endeavour (where possible) to provide a secure system that will grant the data subject direct access to his/her data, however, it must be duly noted that this is not a strict obligation.

 

Within the requested SAR, we will include:

  • The purpose of processing;
  • The categories of data processed;
  • The recipients, or categories of recipients (in particular, details of disclosure to recipients in third countries or to international organisations).
  • Our complaints escalation process

  • The individual’s rights of rectification or erasure, to restrict processing or to object to processing and to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority;

  • Any regulated automated decision taking (i.e. decisions taken solely on an automated basis and having legal or similar effects; also, automated decision taking involving sensitive data) – including information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of the processing for the data subject.
 

If we do not comply with a SAR, we will provide reasons for not doing so.

We note that the data subject’s right to access to personal data, should not adversely affect the rights or freedoms of others, including trade secrets or intellectual property and in particular the copyright protecting the software. Where a processor such as ourselves processes a large quantity of information concerning the data subject, we will request that, before any information is delivered, the data subject specify the information or processing activities to which the request relates.

 

Our Subject Access Request policy featured on our website is as follows:

A Subject Access Request (SAR) was created under section 7 of the Data Protection Act.

It is most often used by individuals who want to see a copy of the information an organisation holds about them.

We have made the Subject Access Request process as simple and quick as possible and we do not charge a fee for this.

 
STEP 1: Submit Your Request

We ask that you submit your Subject Access Request via email to compliance@ramseylomax.co.uk

Please add ‘Subject Access Request’ into the subject line of the email.

If your SAR was prompted but receipt of an email we would kindly request that you also forward on the original email that you received along with your SAR. In certain circumstances we may not actually hold any personal data about you and indeed it may be a 3rd party marketing company that sent you the email and they hold personal details on you. We can still help with your SAR but receiving the original email that you received will help us to complete your SAR as quickly and as comprehensively as possible.

We will acknowledge receipt of your SAR within 3 working days but aim to have done so sooner. If you have not received our acknowledgment, then we request that you call us or write to:

SAR, Ramsey Lomax LTD, United House, North Road, London, N7 9DP.

If you are unhappy with our initial response, we would request that you reply registering your dissatisfaction and detail what further action you would wish us to take.

We will then provide you with a final response within 4 weeks.

    6. At this stage, we will receive a fee for making this introduction.
    7. If we are unable to find the exact amount and/or term that you have requested, our lenders may offer you an alternative amount and/or term. There is no obligation to accept the alternative offer if it doesn’t meet your needs. You should read their conditions carefully and make a responsible decision on whether you believe their service is right for you. If you have any questions or are unsure you should contact the Lender or Provider before taking out any service or loan with them. There is no obligation for you to take up the loan or service with them.
    8. If no company from the The Panel accepts your application we will automatically direct your browser to a page that explains that we have not been able to find a loan for you.
    9. Just because we have been unable to find you a loan, does not mean that other lenders, not included in The Panel, would be willing to lend to you. We do not submit your application to every available lender, only the ones that we have direct or indirect relationships with. You can find out who those lenders are in our privacy policy.
    10. Any examples of amounts available to borrow, terms (repayment periods) or rates stated on the Lender or Provider Websites are purely given as a representative example relating to the product. These representative examples are stated to give you an understanding of the products available. Representative examples are not given as a figure of what you will actually be offered by the Lender/Finance Provider therefore cannot be given as a guarantee nor can they be used as any kind of warranty. As we do not provide the loan or financial service directly to you we are unable to control the representative rate examples contained on the Website. Please also be aware that the decision to offer any loan or financial service is made by the Lender or Finance Provider and we have no control over the decision making.
    11. If we have failed to find you a loan, we may show you other offers that we think may benefit you. Examples of this may be a credit builder service or a debt advice company.
    12. This process is automated.
    13. If you wish to take up an offer with one of these companies you will be asked to consent to do so.

4 Lender Panels:

    1. For unsecured, personal loans, we work with lenders panels. A lender panel is a company that has relationships with multiple lenders. Our privacy policy has information about the lender panels that we work with.
    2. Submitting a loan search, via this website, to a lender panel will result in multiple lenders reviewing your information to make an automated decision as to whether the lender would wish to offer you a loan.
    3. The entire lender panel process is automated.
    4. By submitting your details on this website and via a lender panel, you will be agreeing to ‘soft search’ being conducted on your credit file. There is more information about this in our Privacy Policy.
    5. We receive a fee, from the lender panel, for matching you with a lender.
