Get Debt Support operates as an intermediary referral business. This Privacy Notice sets out how we collect and use your personal information whenever we deliver our services to you. Our lawful basis for processing your information is primarily ‘contractual’; however, in some circumstances, we may also request your consent — for example, to record or share special category data, or to provide marketing about our services and relevant third-party services.
To provide our services under the agreement between us, we collect 'Personal Information (data)' that allows us to identify you. Below you’ll find an explanation of what type of information we collect and why we need it.
The categories of your personal data include the following, along with the reasons and uses:
Examples: Name, age, date of birth, passport or driving licence details.
This information is essential for identifying you and maintaining communication with you.
It is mandatory, so you cannot opt out of providing this data.
Examples: Income, expenditure, assets, liabilities, bank statements, benefits details, wage slips, tax returns, default history, legal actions or county court judgements, previous credit history, bank account and debit card details.
Our partners require this data to provide specific services, such as making payments to creditors on your behalf. While not every service needs it, contractual arrangements like insolvency or debt management solutions cannot proceed without it.
This information cannot be opted out of.
Examples: Employment status, occupation, pay date, salary amount, and professional status (e.g., Dr., Company Director, Police officer).
This information helps us assess your eligibility for debt solutions. Some services don’t need it, but it is compulsory for insolvency and debt management services.
It cannot be omitted.
Examples: Marital status, number and approximate ages of dependents, household details.
This information is used when assessing affordability for debt repayments. It is not always necessary but is a requirement for insolvency and debt management solutions.
This cannot be opted out of.
Examples: Physical or mental health conditions.
This may be collected in order to identify vulnerabilities or additional support needs.
Unlike other categories, you may opt out of providing this information.
Within Get Debt Support, there are multiple data controllers. Your contractual documents will specify which of the following is the primary controller of your data.
Organisation: Get Debt Support, trading as ATLAS GLOBAL MARKETING LIMITED.
Typical services covered: Debt advice and ancillary services.
Information may be provided directly by you, a third-party acting on your behalf, your creditors, your bank, credit reference agencies, law enforcement, or legal representatives. On occasion, health professionals may supply details relevant to your case.
When you use our website, we may collect your IP address, cookies, and browser data. We also use plugins such as Google Analytics, WordPress, and Yoast SEO to enhance our services. Cookies are small text files used to log standard internet behaviour and visitor information, enabling us to compile reports and improve website activity.
Further details can be found at: www.aboutcookies.org or ico.org.uk/concerns/cookies/
Although you can configure your browser to reject cookies, doing so may prevent some features of the site from functioning properly.
Our website and communications may link to external organisations. Please note: this Privacy Policy applies only to Get Debt Support. When you navigate to another website, their own privacy notice will apply.
Our main legal basis is the ‘contract’ under which we operate: we collect your details and refer you to a licensed Debt Advice firm for a full assessment of your circumstances. In cases where we need to collect special category information or process your details for marketing, we will obtain your explicit consent. You will always be made aware when this applies.
Sometimes, lawful processing may also be based on vital interests (e.g., protecting your life) or legitimate interests (e.g., statistical reporting). Where possible, this data is anonymised.
Our core purpose in processing your information is to deliver the services you request, such as debt advice, insolvency or debt management support, or legal services. Consent is explicitly required if we use special category data or engage in direct marketing.
To provide our service, we share your details with other organisations — without this, neither we nor they can fulfil the contract. For example, referrals are made to licensed debt advice firms. Additionally, we sometimes outsource limited services, such as quality monitoring, scanning, marketing, audits, or printing. While most providers are UK-based, some may operate outside the EU. In every case, providers are vetted to ensure data protection.
We may also share data with law enforcement, regulatory agencies, or government bodies if legally required. If you appoint a spouse, carer, or representative, we will share data only with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
We retain your information for the duration of our relationship and up to six years after closure of your account, in compliance with legal and regulatory duties. Any information not required is securely destroyed. Paper records may be scanned into digital systems for safekeeping.
We employ strong security measures, both physical and digital, and regularly test them. If a data breach occurs, we will notify you immediately. You must also inform us promptly if you suspect your data has been exposed.
It is your responsibility to safeguard passwords and other security credentials, including information shared on social media. If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your information, you can contact us directly or escalate concerns to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.
When you register with us or use our services, we may use your details to provide updates and offers. If you consent, we may also send marketing information. You may withdraw consent at any time.
We do not share your details with third parties for marketing unless you give explicit consent. Occasionally, we may recommend services from within Get Debt Support that could save you money — this is considered a legitimate interest unless you object.
Routine communications such as newsletters, updates, or regulatory notices are not classed as marketing but form part of our service obligations.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the data we hold about you, please contact us:
Email: info@getdebtsupport.co.uk
If changes are made to how we use your data, we will provide at least 14 days’ notice. You may refuse such changes, but this may mean we are unable to continue our service.
