The relevant corporate entity is hereinafter referred to as “we”, “our” or “us”) or collectively as the “Group”.

We respect your privacy and feel it is important for you to know how we collect and process the information we receive from you via our website at https://www.rijo42.co.uk, via Social Media Platforms (known collectively as the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains our information practices, the kinds of information we may collect, how we use and share that information, and how you can opt-out of a use or correct or change that information.

This Policy was updated in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) reform that came into effect in May 2018.

As rijo42 Machines Limited is a credit intermediary, it undertakes a number of financial tasks that relate to consumer credit.

Our lawful basis for processing your personal data is done so under a Legitimate Interest – Article 6(1)(f) – “the processing is necessary for your legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.”
