Sharing of data with other data controllers
Here at NUTZFAHRZEUGE LEASING AG we take your privacy seriously and the information we hold about you is confidential. We will only disclose it outside NUTZFAHRZEUGE LEASING AG when:
you have given us your consent to do so
it is necessary for the performance of an agreement of which you will be made aware
in order to obtain professional advice (e.g. legal advice)
we or others need to investigate or prevent crime (e.g. to fraud prevention agencies)
the law permits or requires it
regulatory or governmental body requests or requires it, even without your consent, or
there is a duty to the public to reveal the information
In order to administer your contract, we may need to share some of your personal information with other data controllers. This processing is necessary for the purposes of delivering specific services to you. You agree that we can share or use your personal data with any of our appointed agents or suppliers to allow us to provide you services and products you have asked us to provide you under this agreement, such as to facilitate delivery of your vehicle, to collect the vehicle from you or notify you of a vehicle safety recall. Other data controllers which we may share this information with may include:
Credit reference agencies (to propose you for vehicle finance)
The finance provider (to generate the finance agreement)
The supplying dealer group (to order and deliver the vehicle)
Claims handling and fraud prevention agencies (to investigate or prevent crime)

Credit reference agencies
In considering your application, we will search your record at credit reference agencies. They will add to your record details of our search and your application and this will be seen by other organisations that make similar searches. On occasion, we may request a credit check with more than one finance provider.
Information held about you by the credit reference agencies may already be linked to records relating to other people with whom you have a financial association. In connection with your application you may be treated as financially linked with them and assessed with reference to any such associated records. Searches may also be made in respect of directors and partners of firms applying for credit.
If you are a joint applicant or if you have told us of some other financial association with another person, or a director of a firm which is applying for a facility you are declaring that you are entitled to:
disclose information about your joint applicant, fellow directors and anyone else referred to by you
authorise us to search, link or record information at credit reference agencies about you and anyone else referred to by you
The credit reference agency will use a credit scoring system when assessing your application. They will also add to your record details of your agreement with us, specifically the payments you make under it, any default or failure to keep to its terms and any change of address you fail to tell us about where a repayment is overdue.
These records will be shared with other organisations and will be used by us and them to help make decisions about credit and credit related services such as insurance for you and members of your household, trace debtors, recover debt and to manage your accounts. We and the credit reference agencies will also use the records for statistical analysis about credit.
You have a legal right to know the details of credit reference and fraud prevention agencies we use and to whom we pass information about you. To obtain this information, please contact our Data Protection Officer.
Fraud Prevention
If you give us false or inaccurate information and fraud (in any form) is identified, details will be passed to the fraud prevention agencies. We and other organisations may also share, access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example when:
checking details on applications for credit and credit related or other facilities
managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities
recovering debt
checking details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance
checking details of job applicants and employees
In addition, law enforcement agencies may access and use this information.
