Your Data - Common Concerns
Is it essential to give so much personal data online?
Yes. It must be appreciated that, to ensure you are only offered mortgage schemes that your personal circumstances and financial background allow you to qualify for, it is essential that the information regarding incomes, outgoings, and credit history, etc., are provided in as detailed a form and as accurately as follows. After all, computers can only be accurate in their sorting, if they are fed accurate data to work with. Whilst the data is detailed, at the point of sourcing, it is not linked to any person or address. It is simply data. Even if it was possible for someone to intercept it at this point, the information cannot be linked to any individual's identity.
If I apply online, what use do you make of our data?
The data is passed to the authorised firm to enable mortgage processing to be carried out. It will be shared, of course, with the chosen lender who will process your application for a mortgage and, where appropriate, it may be used for credit referencing purposes (a standard part of any normal mortgage underwriting process), and insurance companies where Indemnity insurance requirements exist. Your personal information may be used by us to notify you of new products and services within UKMOL, but it will never be supplied to third parties for marketing or other purposes
Can the Online Mortgages Application personal data be intercepted en-route?
The mortgage application itself, and all other enquiry forms, are located on a Secure Server using encrypted technology to protect your personal data from being viewed by others. Therefore, even if intercepted enroute, the data is encrypted and therefore unable to be viewed without the appropriate encryption codes.
