Data Protection says that we are allowed to use and share your personal data only where we have a proper reason to do so. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons and these are:

Legitimate Interests - this means the interests of Wild Things in managing our business to allow us to provide you with the best products and service in the most secure and appropriate way e.g. to keep you informed of offers that may be of interest to you

Legal Obligation – where there is statutory or other legal requirement to share the information e.g. when we have to share your information for law enforcement purposes eg HMRC

Here is a list of the ways that we may use your personal information, and which of the reasons described above we rely on to do so. Where we list legitimate interests as a reason, we also describe below what we believe these legitimate interests are.

Who we share your information with and why

Wild Things works with a number of delivery companies in order to send your goods and services you expect from us such as delivery companies, credit reference agencies, fraud

Payment processing

Wild Things works with trusted third party payment processing providers in order to securely take and manage payments.

Credit Reference Agencies

When you apply for credit with us we will make searches about you with credit reference agencies. We do this to make sure customers who apply for credit accounts are able to manage the level of credit offered and not committing fraud by providing false or inaccurate information.

In order to process your application we will supply your personal information to credit reference agencies (CRA’s) and they will give us information about you, such as your financial history. We do this to assess your creditworthiness and product suitability, check your identity, manage your account, trace, recover debts, and prevent criminal activity.

We will also continue to exchange information about you with the CRAs on an ongoing basis, including about your settled accounts and any debts not fully repaid on time. CRAs will share your information with other organisations.

The identities of the CRAs, and the ways in which they use and share personal information, are explained in more detail at:

Experian Credit Reference  - Agency Information Notice

CallCredit Credit Reference - Agency Information Notice

Equifax Credit Reference - Agency Information Notice

We will use automated credit-scoring methods to assess your application and to confirm your identity. We will automatically check your credit history against our lending criteria and if you don’t meet our requirements you will be declined for credit. For more information see the CRAIN notices above. There is also an automated decision section below with further detail. Should you wish to object to the use of automated credit scoring, please contact the Data Protection Officer.
