This is our Privacy Statement. It explains how this site obtains, uses and keeps your information safe.
We're committed to keeping your personal information safe and confidential both online and offline.
Online application
If you apply for an account online, before you enter any personal details into the online form, we'll tell you how your information will be used in our data protection statement and in the relevant terms and conditions. You will be asked to confirm that you have read and understood these before your application can proceed.
For credit account applications like loans and bank accounts, we may pass your details to a recognised credit reference agency to help process your application.
We might occasionally send you information about accounts and services which we think would be of interest to you. If you’d prefer us not to use your contact details in this way you can tell us.
Using our calculators, decision tools, guides and budget planners
To use our range of calculators, tools, guides and budget planners, you'll have to give us details of your financial situation and needs. The information we ask for will depend on what type of product or account you're interested in.
But please remember: When you use a calculator, guide, decision tool or budget planner all of the details you provide are anonymous - and once you leave we never store your details, unless for example, you decide to save a quote.
Contacting us by phone
You can call our customer services team on 0845 607 0666*, to help us improve our service we might record or monitor phone calls.
Contacting us by email
When you email us, we collect some personal details like your name, address and phone numbers. Email isn't 100% secure - so we advise that you keep personal information to a minimum. With this in mind, don't transmit account information using email.
Emails are stored on our standard internal contact systems which are secure and can't be accessed by external parties. We store this information for an indefinite period of time in order to identify trends.
Asking for a fact sheet
You can ask for a printed fact sheet online. Obviously you'll need to provide your name, address and the type of fact sheet you need. Your details are not encrypted for transmitting so there is a small risk of unauthorised viewing while the information crosses the internet.
We keep your details after sending you the fact sheet to make sure fact sheets are delivered to you on time, and also, from time to time, we might follow up a request with a phone call to see if we can provide any more help.
Surveys and competitions
We'll treat any survey or competition information you provide with the same high standard of care as we do all other customer information, using any details provided strictly within the terms of the competition and this Privacy Statement.
Sharedealing
Within Abbey Sharedealing you can research information on UK listed companies and AIM shares listed on the London Stock Exchange. You do it anonymously, and we're not able to identify you as an individual from your research. Please note: our online sharedealing service is provided by Abbey Stockbrokers Limited ("ASL"). ASL is part of the Santander group of companies.
