data received and processed by all of Resolute’s companies. We are registered with the ICO through

this Privacy Policy. If we receive your personal information then we are the controller of that
data, which may be collected:
- through our website,
- when you apply to become our employee,
- when you become our employee,

included in the claims portfolios serviced by Resolute’s Licensed Servicer Entities according to
the provisions of the relevant licensing Laws.
Resolute respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data, as well as in

Resolute has appointed a person responsible for handling all data protection and privacy related
issues. Her details are as follows:
Corinna Lyritzi
+44(0) 20 77337 2230
Corinna.lyritzi@res-am.com
All client information is confidential. It will
remain so.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other laws relating to data protection and data
privacy apply to personal information. This is primarily information about our employees and
potential employees as well as obligors whose debts are included in the claims portfolios serviced
by Resolute’s Licensed Servicer Entities. There will also be some personal data in client
information we will collect from time to time. Our policy is to treat all personal data to the same
high standard as follows:
What information do we collect about you and why?
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual
from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been
removed (anonymous data). We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to.
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you
on the basis that it is in our legitimate interests to do so in order to carry out our business (and
your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests), or to perform a contract
with you, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, for example in order to comply with
KYC/AML checks. We will collect personal information including identity data, contact data,
financial data and technical data.
We may sometimes collect information relating to
your health (this is known as a
Special Category of Personal Data) where this is necessary to help us provide a service to you (for
example if you need particular access assistance), or for insurance purposes, or in order to protect
your vital interests, such as keeping on record emergency contact details. By submitting such data
to us voluntarily, you will be consenting to us using that data for the purpose of responding to and
complying with your request, or for the purpose of notifying your emergency contact in the case of
an emergency.
How long do we keep this information?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the
purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting,
or reporting requirements.
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.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no
longer be associated with you), in which case we may use this information indefinitely without
further notice to you.
If you are or were a Resolute employee, client or obligor whose debts are included
in the claims
portfolios serviced by Resolute’s Licensed Servicer Entities, we will keep most of your information
for the duration of your relationship with us and up to 7 years after such relationship ends, solely
to comply with legal requirements such as tax records. Where required by a specific law or
regulation, we may keep the specified information for the legally required period.
Who do we share your information with?
Our data is also managed by external providers such as internet companies and
software companies. We share data only as far as legally permitted to do so and only as strictly
necessary. Within Resolute your information is processed and accessed only by specific individuals
who provide HR, IT and system administration services and also undertake leadership reporting, as
well as the partners and other senior members of Resolute. External third parties may include:
- Our IT providers and service providers in order to provide IT and system administration
services;
- Our appointed professional advisers including auditors, accountants, lawyers, bankers, insurers
who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services, to the extent that
they may require access to the information to provide advice;
- HM Revenue & Customs, regulators such as the Financial Conduct Authority, the Information
Commissioner’s Office and other relevant tax and regulatory authorities based in the United
Kingdom and the other EU countries of our respective offices who require reporting of processing
activities in certain circumstances;
- Fraud prevention agencies and other organisations to allow us to undertake the relevant
checks;
- If required to do so to meet applicable law, the order of a Court or market rules and codes of
practice applicable to the circumstances at the time;
- Relevant authorities to investigate or prevent fraud or activities believed to be illegal or
otherwise in breach of applicable law.
We require all our employees and third parties to respect the security of all
personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service
providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your
personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Your personal information may need to be shared with our service providers, which
may involve transferring it to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where we do so,
we will ensure that we do this in accordance with current data protection laws by only transferring
it to jurisdictions in respect of which there is a European Commission adequacy decision or, where
this is not the case, by using model clauses which have been approved by the European
Commission.
In the future we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or
our assets. We may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. In such case, we may share
your information with such new owners (third parties). Should such a change happen to our business,
then we will ensure the new owners use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy
policy.
Your rights
You have certain rights under data protection laws in respect of the personal data
we hold relating to you. You are entitled to a copy of the information we hold about you in a
portable format or otherwise, to request access to, correction, erasure, or restriction of
processing to the personal information we hold about you, and to object to processing or automated
decision making. You also have the right to withdraw your consent, where you have given this. Please
note that the application of these rights varies according to the legal basis used to process your
data. In certain circumstances we are required to retain copies of information we hold about you by
other regulations. In this instance we will not be able to erase or modify your data.
Please see the Definitions below for more information on your rights; details can
also be found on the ICO’s Website. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please
contact our Data Governance Officer by calling us on +44 (0) 20 7337
2230 or emailing us
at corinna.lyritzi@res-am.com
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of
the other rights). However, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee if your request is
clearly repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these
circumstances.
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.
You have the right to make a complaint about the way in which we handle your
personal data at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory
authority for data protection issues and our elected supervisory authority
(www.ico.org.uk), or your
national data protection authority. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your
concerns before you approach either so please contact us in the first instance.
Data security
We ensure all our third-party providers of services or data processing have 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.
Changes to this Privacy Policy and your duty to inform us
of changes to your information
This Privacy Policy was last updated on Monday 12 August 2019. We may update this
Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do so we will notify you of any significant changes.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current.
We would be grateful if you would keep us informed if your personal data changes during your
relationship with us.
Third party links
Our website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications.
Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share
data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their
privacy statements.
Definitions
1. Legal basis for our use of your data
- Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business
to enable us to give you the best service and the best and most secure experience. We make sure
we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights
before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal
data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your
consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information
about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of
specific activities by contacting us.
- Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of
a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a
contract.
- Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is
necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.
2. Your legal rights
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.
