Personal Data We Collect and Create

These are the types of data we collect, create, use, and share:

Personal Details and Identifiers

Your full name, home address, email address, phone number, social media profile details and information that is used to verify your identity. This can be photo ID, passport number, national insurance number, driving license number, and nationality.

Authentication Data

The data used to access the Chase Services. It includes your PIN number(s), password(s), security questions and answers. It also includes your unique account and user profile identifiers and biometric data used for identity verification.

Financial Information

Information used to assess your financial situation, and whether you’re suitable to receive financial credit. This includes your income, residential status, employment information, credit profile data, credit rating, and publicly available information (such as County Court Judgements or bankruptcy).

Account Information

Details relating to any account that you hold with us. This includes your account number, sort code, cards, account balance, unique identifiers, alerts, language settings, statement preferences, contact preferences, and overdraft limit.

Transaction History

Events like payments made and received (including those via third parties such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal), credits/debits, payees and payors, interest calculation and payments, and standing orders.

Health and Disability Data

Data that you may provide to us relating to a disability or health issue(s) which is relevant to your use of Chase Services. We will use the health data you provide to us to support your use of Chase services where needed. This might include the accessibility of our website or app, or a change in your health status that impacts your use of Chase Services.

Communications Data

Records and results of any communications between you and us. This includes by email, telephone, in-app chat, social media, and letter. This might include open rates and dates/times, whether it was forwarded, and your interaction with the communication.

Device and Technical Data

Data such as unique device identifiers, IP addresses, device type and model, as well as operating system and version. This might also include network connection type, browser type, advertising ID and non-precise location data. We might infer that from other data such as IP address.

Biometric Data

We create temporary facial recognition templates when we match your selfie to your photo ID as part of onboarding or when you reset your pin, unlock your account, or change your device. We also use behavioural biometric data, such as typing patterns and movement data.

Location Data

Your postcode, IP address and location data from your payment transactions. This might include location data from your device if you allow location sharing in the app.

Usage Data

Data generated from your website or in-app activity, such as what screens or product features you use and how long you spend using features within the app or on our site.

Cookies

We collect information from your device, or store information on your device, in the form of cookies. We use this information to:

• help maintain the security of the Chase Services
• help ensure that our website and app communicate correctly with our other services
• remember your choices and settings
• collect and compile anonymous, aggregated information for statistical and evaluation purposes – to help us understand how users use our services and help us improve them

Our Cookie Notice is available on our website and in our app.

Your Feedback or Opinions

If you choose to take part in our research initiatives, we’ll analyse your views and feedback to create insights that help us understand what people think about our brand. This will also help shape changes to our Chase Services and marketing campaigns.

Identity Verification

We use automated processes to check your identity. This can be when you’re onboarding as a new customer, unlocking your account, resetting your PIN, or changing your device.

To check it’s really you, we use facial recognition technology. This technology checks that the person in a selfie and an accepted photo ID are actually the same person. The faces in both photos are compared by creating a mathematical template based on measurement of the various points on your face – such as your chin, nose, and eyes.

The templates created through this matching process are temporary and not accessible to us. The templates are created by a vendor on our behalf, and deleted shortly after we have confirmed you are the same person in both photos. When this process does not create a match, it will be reviewed by an agent. We do not store your details for any other purpose, and our vendors don’t either.

Onboarding Checks

When you apply for new Chase Services, we screen your personal details against fraud and credit reference databases in order to help prevent fraud and money laundering and also confirm that you meet our credit history eligibility criteria to bank with us. The results could prevent you from using the requested Chase Service.

Transaction Fraud

We also use automated decision making to help ensure transactions made on your account are correct and free from fraud. Your transactions (payments to and from your account) will be assessed to identify any unusual payments. Unusual payments include payments you would not normally make or haven’t yet made on our systems. We may stop or decline a payment that is likely to be fraudulent.

Credit and Affordability Assessments

If you apply for a credit product, we may use automated decisions through our Credit Decision Engine in order to assess if the product is suitable and appropriate for you.

To determine your eligibility, we look at the information you provided as part of your credit application. This includes data from Credit Reference Agencies, such as your credit history, which will show us if you have kept up with repayments or if you have any county court judgements or bankruptcies on your credit file. We combine this with other financial information we hold about you, such as your Chase current account data, to make the following automated decisions:

• To assess if the product we have built is suitable to you
• To make fair and informed decisions about how to lend responsibly
• To determine if we can offer credit to you and how much

Examples of automated decisions may include:

• Automatically calculating credit limit
• To ensure we don't send marketing communications to you about our credit products where it is not relevant
• To help us determine our overall credit risk as a bank and work out strategies for our products in a way that does not adversely affect you.

Our Credit Decision Engine is an automated system that uses various rules and scoring methods. These rules and scoring methods are regularly tested to ensure they remain consistent, effective, fair, and unbiased. You have rights in relation to automated decision making, including a right to appeal if your application is declined. If we reject your application, we will inform you of the outcome and the main reason. You can get in touch with us via our Customer Support for your application to be reviewed.

Sometimes, and when you’ve got a marker for financial difficulty or a Notice of Correction on your credit file, we’ll carry out a manual review so that we can get a better picture of your finances and make a decision about your application.

You can ask for information about any automated decision making that has a legal or similarly significant effect on you. We’ll explain the logic involved, how we use the decision and any potential consequences. You can also object, give us extra information or ask us to review a decision. In certain circumstances, you also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.

‘Your ID’ is an additional feature in the Chase app. If you opt into ‘Your ID’, we’ll set it up using some of the data you’ve already given us.

When you joined Chase, you used either your passport or driver’s licence as proof of ID. ‘Your ID’ stores and presents a digital copy of the identity document you used, and related identity document data, in the Chase app – so you can access it, share it, or use it to complete forms.

You can opt into ‘Your ID’ from the Chase app. If you do so, we’ll automatically set it up using the following data from your passport or driver’s licence:

• Identification document reference number
• ‘Your ID’ identifier
• Personal details 
• Issue date, expiry date and document number  
• Date of birth
• The image of your UK passport, if you supplied it when you joined Chase

Why we need to use your data

• Your score factors: a set of explanations to help you understand what impacts your score.
• A summary of your credit report: a record of your financial activity held by TransUnion.

When you check your credit information in the Chase app, you’re making a ’Data Subject Access Request’ to TransUnion. This allows TransUnion to share your updated credit information with us at enrolment and on an on-going basis.

Each time you do this, a soft search is recorded on your credit report. A soft search does not impact your credit rating, or your ability to get credit.

Why we need to use your data

After you opt in and throughout your use of the ‘Credit Score’ feature:

• We’ll use your data to provide ‘Credit Score’ to you in connection with a contract you may enter into with us.
• We’ll also use your data to share personalised insights with you, or suggest relevant products (if you have consented to Chase using your data in this way or because Chase has a legitimate interest in using your data in this way to improve our products). These interests will never be overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

Your Rights in relation to this service

The relevant tax authorities can share that information with other appropriate tax authorities or government bodies. We may ask you to provide us with extra information or to fill in tax forms to help us with this.

UK immigration law requires us to check the residency status of our customers from time to time. We do so by reviewing customer details against information held by the Home Office.

Fraud Prevention Agencies

As part of our customer onboarding process, we check databases, and share and receive data from fraud prevention agencies. These checks help us to confirm your identity and prevent fraud and money laundering. We also carry out these checks from time to time, after you join Chase.

We share some of your data with fraud prevention agencies in line with our Privacy Policy. If your account is involved in fraud, we may refuse or stop providing you with certain services. Any record of fraud or money laundering risks on your account may mean you’re refused other services, such as mortgages and loans, and impact future employment.

You can find more information about your data protection rights and how fraud prevention agencies use your data on the Cifas website (Opens in new window).

Credit Reference Agencies

This section explains how we work with Credit Reference Agencies if you hold a current account with us or if you apply for a credit product.

We run a check against the Credit Reference Agencies database when you open a current account with us to confirm that you meet our credit history criteria and on a regular basis for the duration of your relationship with us to make sure your account is not involved in fraud. These are soft checks that do not leave a visible footprint on your credit file or impact your credit score.

We share details of your Chase current account with Credit Reference Agencies on a periodic basis. This will include details of funds going into the account, and the account balance. The Credit Reference Agencies may share this information with other organisations that wish to check your financial status to help them build a more complete picture of your finances.

If you apply for a credit product with us, we will carry out credit and identity checks with Credit Reference Agencies. When CRAs receive a request from us as part of your credit application, they will note it on your credit file, and this will be visible to other lenders. This is called a credit search. This information will be used by lenders to work out how much they can lend to you and how much you can afford to repay. If you apply for a product with someone else, your records will be linked by the CRAs. These links will stay on your credit file and will be visible to all lenders you apply to.

When you se our credit products, we also conduct periodic searches with CRAs to manage your account. To do this, we supply your personal information from your credit application to CRAs and they give us details about you. This includes information about your financial situation and financial standing. We will share details about your repayments, outstanding debts, and transaction records. We will also use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, manage your credit card and recover debts.

If you have applied for our credit card, we will use the information from CRAs to:

• Carry out credit checks
• Assess if we can offer you credit and how much
• Assess whether you are able to make repayments
• Trace and recover debts

We will retain your data in line with our data retention policy and for the minimum period required.

Once we no longer need to retain your data in a form that identifies you, we will permanently delete or destroy it, archive, and secure it so that it is beyond practical use; or anonymize it.
