Experian® is the world’s leading global information services company. During life’s big moments — from buying a home or a car, to sending a child to college, to growing a business by connecting with new customers — we empower consumers and our clients to manage their data with confidence. We help individuals to take financial control and access financial services, businesses to make smarter decisions and thrive, lenders to lend more responsibly, and organizations to prevent identity fraud and crime.

The information found on these pages describe the activities undertaken by Experian's Marketing Services business. This is a separate part of Experian to the Credit Services business, however if you wish to learn more about your financial profile, you can visit Consumer Services.

We believe data has the power to improve and ease our lives and create opportunities for people, organisations and society by connecting them together where there is benefit in doing so.

The modern world is built on data created by virtually everything we interact with in the digital world. It’s all around us, growing in power and influence every day. This data matters to organisations and it matters to the people that own it – you! Experian works to turn data into something meaningful for you. We gather, analyse, combine and process it to help people and organisations achieve their goals.

We always use data responsibly to create marketing products and services which help organisations across many market sectors such as retail, leisure, financial services, charity, automotive and public sector to:

  1. better understand the likely characteristics of you as a customer, or the household to which you belong or the local area in which you live
  2. communicate with you more effectively and inform you of relevant products and services
  3. find others like you across a range of marketing channels so that they can continue to grow and offer their customers or citizens new products and services

 

We want to be transparent with you about how we use your data

While at Experian we’re passionate about data – as a force for good, as a tool to empower and improve people’s lives – we know it may not always be the most exciting topic for you.

However, given its importance in everyone’s lives, we want to help you understand how we use your data so you can make informed choices about whether or not you want to allow your data to be used for marketing purposes by organisations.

 

Our responsibility to respect personal data

To earn your trust, we know that at all times, it is our responsibility to respect any personal data we hold about you – to do the right things with it, to protect it, to manage it, to look after it on your behalf, and to make sure it’s easy for you to tell us not to use your data for marketing purposes.
