What Is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection
Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act
2018 (collectively, “the Data Protection Legislation”) as ‘any information
relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified
in particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about
you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information
such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious
information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other
online identifiers.
5.
What Are My Rights?
Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the
following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
(a).
The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal
data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you
can always contact us to find out
more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 15.
(b).
The right to access the personal data
we hold about you. Part 13 will tell
you how to do this.
(c).
The right to have your personal data
rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us using the details in Part 15 to find out more.
(d).
The right to be forgotten, i.e. the

otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we hold. Please contact us using
the details in Part 15 to find out more.
(e).
The right to restrict (i.e. prevent)
the processing of your personal data.
(f).
The right to object to us using your personal data for a
particular purpose or purposes.
(g).
The right to withdraw consent. This
means that, if we are relying on
your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to
withdraw that consent at any time.
(h).
The right to data portability. This
means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using
it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is
processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or
business in many cases.
(i).
Rights relating to automated
decision-making and profiling. We do
not use your personal data in this way.
For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined
above, please contact us using the
details provided in Part 15.
It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and
up-to-date. If any of the personal data we

informed as long as we have that
data.
Further information about your rights can also be obtained
from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have
the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would welcome the opportunity to

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may
also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting
you by email AND/OR telephone AND/OR text message AND/OR post with information, news, and offers on our products AND/OR services. You will not be sent any unlawful
marketing or spam.
We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply
with our obligations under the Data
Protection Legislation and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC
Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to
opt-out. We will always obtain your express opt-in consent before sharing your
personal data with third parties for marketing purposes and you will be able to
opt-out at any time.
Third Parties (including) whose content appears on Our Site may use third-party Cookies, as
detailed below in Part 14. Please refer to Part 14 for more information on
controlling cookies. Please note that we
do not control the activities of such third parties, nor the data that they
collect and use themselves, and we advise
you to check the privacy policies of any such third parties.
We will only use
your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected
unless we reasonably believe that
another purpose is compatible with that or those original purpose(s) and need
to use your personal data for that purpose. If we do use your personal data in this way and you wish us to explain how the new purpose is
compatible with the original, please contact us using the details in Part 15.
If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is
unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purpose(s) for which it was originally
collected, we will inform you and
explain the legal basis which allows us to
do so.
In some circumstances, where permitted or required by law,
we may process your personal data
without your knowledge or consent. This will only be done within the bounds of
the Data Protection Legislation and your legal rights.

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is
necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your
personal data will therefore be kept for up to six (6) years after the
completion of our services to you.
9.
How and Where Do You Store or
Transfer My Personal Data?
We may store or transfer some or all of your
personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the
“EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and
Liechtenstein) or EEA. These are
known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as
strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we will take
additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as
safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the Data Protection
Legislation as follows.
We share your
data within the group of companies of which we are a part. Where this involves the transfer of personal data outside
the EEA, our group ensures that
personal data is protected by requiring all companies within the group to
follow the same rules with respect to personal data usage. These are known as
“binding corporate rules”. More information on binding corporate rules is
available from the European Commission.
In addition, where we share your data with external third
parties, as detailed below in Part 10, that are based outside of the EEA, the
following safeguards are applied to such transfers:
We will only
transfer your personal data to third countries whose levels of data protection
are deemed ‘adequate’ by the European Commission. More information is available
from the European Commission.
Please contact us using
the details below in Part 15 for further information about the particular data
protection mechanisms used by us when
transferring your personal data to a third country.
The security of your personal data is essential to us, and
to protect your data, we take a
number of important measures, including the following:
●
limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents,
contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and
ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality; and,
●
procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or
unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access
to, your personal data) including notifying you and/or the Information
Commissioner’s Office where we are legally
required to do so.
10.
Do You Share My Personal Data?
We will not share
any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to
the following exceptions.
We will pass your contact information and requirements to
third party contractors and service providers if and when you instruct us to do
so, whether tacitly or expressly – for instance, if a roadside assistance
service is required.
If we sell,
transfer, or merge parts of our business
or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new
owner of our business may continue
to use your personal data in the same way(s) that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy & Cookie Policy.
In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which
might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with
legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government
authority.
If any of your personal data is shared with a third party,
as described above, we will take
steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in
accordance with your rights, our obligations,
and the third party’s obligations under the law, as described above in Part 9.
If any personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, we will take suitable steps in order to
ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it
would be within the UK and under the Data Protection Legislation, as explained
above in Part 9.
If we sell,
transfer, or merge parts of our business
or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new
owner of our business may continue
to use your personal data in the same way(s) that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy & Cookie Policy.
In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which
might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with
legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government
authority.
11.
How Can I Control My Personal
Data?
11.1
In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Legislation,
set out in Part 5, when you submit
personal data via Our Site, you may
be given options to restrict our use
of your personal data. In particular, we
aim to give you strong controls on our
use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to
opt-out of receiving emails from us which
you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails and at the point of providing your details
and by managing your Account).
11.2
You may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference
services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service (“the TPS”), the
Corporate Telephone Preference Service (“the CTPS”), and the Mailing Preference
Service (“the MPS”). These may help to prevent you receiving unsolicited marketing.
Please note, however, that these services will not prevent you from receiving
marketing communications that you have consented to receiving.
12.
Can I Withhold Information?
You may access certain areas of Our Site without
providing any personal data at all. However, to use all features and functions
available on Our Site you may be
required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.
13.
How Can I Access My Personal
Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and
for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a
“subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and
sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 15.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access
request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example,
if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond
to your subject access request within thirty (30) days. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response,
including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases,
however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required
up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
