Electronic ID verification

We undertake electronic identity verification on all our clients and those instructing us, to help us comply with our anti-money laundering responsibilities. We may also make these checks on other parties, for instance those paying our bills. These checks are undertaken by Experian who keep their own record that they have made the check for audit purposes. These are not credit checks and have no impact on credit files.

We may share your personal information with third parties who process data on our behalf for the purposes set out above so that we are able to work with you efficiently. Such third parties are obliged to process your details in line with data protection legislation. Some third parties we work with (for instance Microsoft, who run our email system) may transfer your data outside the EEA, sometimes to countries without protections that correspond to ours. However, we require all third parties we work with to confirm compliance with UK data protection law.

We may share your personal information with third parties in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.

We may also share your personal information with third parties if we are under a duty to do so in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Just Employment, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
