Data Protection Policy
This statement constitutes InCol’s policy regarding personal data and data protection.
InCol recognises the introduction of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons regarding the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).
“Personal data” is any information that can be used to identify you or that we can link to you and which we have in our possession or control – i.e., data we collect from you, the way in which it is collected and the purposes for which it is collected and used.
The only personal data received by InCol is comprised of the business contact details of people the company meets with in the ordinary course of its business and where such details are willingly provided to the company by the individuals concerned.
InCol, apart from recording such contact details and using them solely for its own purposes, does not engage in any processing of these details, does not promote any goods and services to the individuals concerned and does not pass on or exchange these details with any third parties.
Any such details received are recorded electronically and are stored securely with password protection.
Should you require InCol to delete any personal data that we may hold about you, please get in touch with us to arrange deletion.
InCol is also provided with details of mortgage loan portfolios from time to time in connection with its funding and mortgage analytical activities. Such loan data does not contain any information relating to an identifiable natural person or persons under the GDPR. InCol’s objective in analysing mortgage loan portfolios is to assess their suitability and strength for use as collateral in secured funding transactions. Apart from such analysis InCol does not engage in any processing of these details, does not promote any goods and services to third parties and does not pass on or exchange any personal details with third parties.
