Your personal data rights explained

To maintain a quality service we may maintain or record phone calls for training and security purposes.

You can ask us to restrict processing your data, for example where:

  • you’re contesting the accuracy of your personal data;
  • we no longer need to process your personal data, but you want us to keep it for use in legal claims; or
  • you’ve objected to the processing by asking us to stop using your data, but you’re waiting for us to tell you if we have overriding grounds which mean we’re allowed to keep on using it.

If the right applies, this means with the exception of storage, your personal data can only be processed by us with your consent or for certain things such as legal claims or to exercise legal rights. 

If you request that we restrict the processing of your personal data it may mean we can’t provide certain products and services to you.

Your account must also be open in order to exercise this right.

Complaints

Cahoot, Sunderland,
SR43 4EZ

Our Complaints Leaflet is available upon request and contains further information on our complaints process, including the handling timescales. This information is also available on our website at cahoot.com.

You may also be able to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. The Financial Ombudsman Service acts as an independent and impartial organisation which helps settle disputes between consumers and financial services businesses. You can find out more information at  financial-ombudsman.org.uk.

You have the right to find out what information, if any, is held about you. This is known as a data subject access request.

A data subject access request is not designed to deal with general queries that you may have about your account. We therefore aim to provide you with the information you require without you having to make a formal request. If you would like to find out specific information about your account, you can contact us by phone.

To make a formal data subject access request you can contact us:

By post

Write to us at the address below, providing:

  • a daytime phone number in case we need to contact you to discuss your request;
  • your sort code and account number(s); and
  • detail on what information you are requesting.

If your request doesn’t relate to an account, please let us know the nature of your relationship with Santander and any other relevant information.
