What happens to my Personal Data?

It's important to note that your account and Personal Data will transfer to NewDay in April 2026, and they'll be managing your account going forward. NewDay will become the Data Controller, responsible for keeping your information safe and using it only to manage your account in line with Data Protection laws.

• If you close your account before it updates to Argos Pay, your card will be cancelled, but your data will still transfer to NewDay. If you have an outstanding balance, you'll need to keep making payments until your balance is cleared. If there is an outstanding balance on your Argos Card account when it updates to Argos Pay in April 2026, the changes to your Account and your Agreement that we've told you about, will apply at that point and you'll need to either register for the new Argos Pay app or Online Account Manager to continue to make payments, or choose an alternative method.
• Whether your account status is open or you now close it before the update, NewDay must keep your data for things like handling future claims, complaints, and for regulatory, legislative, business analysis and reporting requirements. They won't use it for anything else without your prior, express consent.
• Any permissions you've previously given us (except for marketing permissions) will transfer to NewDay when your account updates.
• To learn more about how NewDay will use your Personal Data or to make data-related requests to them, visit NewDay's Privacy Notice on their website.

If your account was closed before 1st March 2025, your Personal Data will stay with Argos Financial Services and won't be transferred to NewDay. Argos Financial Services will remain responsible for keeping this information safe and using it in line with Data Protection laws. If you need to make a request to exercise your Data Protection rights in relation to this Personal Data, you can continue to contact Argos Financial Services directly.
