crime.
We might use personal information provided by you in order to conduct
appropriate identity checks. Personal information that you provide may be
disclosed to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, which may keep a
record of that information.
If you provide false or inaccurate information in your application or at any point in
the life of any funding we award you and fraud is identified, we will provide details
to fraud prevention agencies, to prevent fraud and money laundering. You can
obtain further details explaining how the information held by fraud prevention
agencies may be used from our Customer Services by emailing
