In certain circumstances you can object to the processing of your personal information.
To object to the processing of your personal information for marketing or market research, please refer to the ‘Changing your marketing preferences’ section.
If you object to the processing of your personal data for any other reason, it may mean we can’t provide certain products and services to you.
You can ask us to restrict processing your data, for example where:
- you’re contesting the accuracy of your personal data;
- we no longer need to process your personal data, but you want us to keep it for use in legal claims; or
- you’ve objected to the processing by asking us to stop using your data, but you’re waiting for us to tell you if we have overriding grounds which mean we’re allowed to keep on using it.
If the right applies, this means with the exception of storage, your personal data can only be processed by us with your consent or for certain things such as legal claims or to exercise legal rights.
If you request that we restrict the processing of your personal data it may mean we can’t provide certain products and services to you.

If you would like to find out specific information about your account, you can contact us by phone or in branch.
To make a formal data subject access request you can contact us:
By post
Write to us at the address below, providing:
- a daytime phone number in case we need to contact you to discuss your request;
- your sort code and account number(s); and
- detail on whether your request relates to a specific part of the company, for example a branch or Head Office department.
If your request doesn’t relate to an account, please let us know the nature of your relationship with Santander and any other relevant information

In some instances we’ll undertake automated processing and decision-making to decide which of our other products or services might be of interest to you. You have a right not to have a decision made based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal or similar effects. This doesn't apply where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, is authorised by law, or the person has given their consent to the processing (though they can revoke their consent thereafter).
Where you have been inadvertently affected by an automated decision, and/or you think we have made a mistake, or you have further information to support your case, there is an underwriting process in place. We can’t guarantee to reverse a decision, but we’ll always be happy to reconsider your application if you believe you have been wrongly declined.
To ask us to reconsider your application you can contact us:

Write to us at the relevant address below, providing your name, address, phone number and a convenient time for us to call you to discuss your request.
