While our own data usage and privacy policies have not changed, the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS)* and the British Business Bank (BBB) were required to ensure that they could use the data in relation to facilities that we’ve offered under the Covid-19 loan schemes:

• Coronavirus Business Loan Scheme (CBILS)
• Coronavirus Large Business Loan Scheme (CLBILS)
• Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS)

This is to support their reporting requirements in relation to state aid. We contacted all customers who have applied and been offered lending, regardless of whether they had drawn down on the loan.

*Subsequently The Department for Business & Trade

These notices were updated to clarify the ways customer data for the Covid-19 loan schemes is used. Data will be used for data analytics and to meet reporting obligations to the European Commission and the UK government.

Customer data is information which you provided to us for the purpose of obtaining your loan, as well as information about the loan. This information may include details of individual loans (including the identity of the borrower).

Where required, certain information about loans granted under the Covid-19 loan schemes including customer data must be shared with the UK government and the European Commission. They may publish details on their respective transparency websites. 

No action was required; this is just to keep you updated on these changes.

You’ll find more details on these changes in the communication that we sent to you. You can find further information about the BEIS / BBB data and privacy notice here:

If you have any questions in relation to the BEIS / BBB data and privacy notice which are not answered by these Q&As, contact the BEIS at enquiries@beis.gov.uk.
