  • Identity Data includes first name, last name, identity card number or passport number.
  • Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone number/s.
  • Financial Data includes bank account and payment card details.
  • Transaction Data includes details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us.

  • Requesting a quote for a product or service.
  • Purchasing a product or service.

If you fail to provide personal data which we need to collect by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or the contract we need to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In such a case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

We may also receive information about you from third parties (including, for example, background checking agencies, credit reference agencies and payment services) and may receive information about you from them as part of the service we provide you, or for legal reasons.

 

4. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending direct marketing communications to you via email, text message or by post. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by either unsubscribing from our mailing list or by contacting our DPO.

  • We must provide services to you after you have purchased a product or service from us.
  • To comply with the law.
 

6. MARKETING

We may use your Identity Data, Contact Data, Transaction and Marketing and Communication Data details to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us and, in each case you consented to receive such information. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by either unsubscribing from our mailing list or by contacting our DPO.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know and who are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so

 

10. RETENTION PERIODS

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
