Some personal data may, where lawful to do so, or with your consent, be collected by us from third parties (e.g DVLA to check your driving licence when using our courtesy vehicles).

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform our services to you
• Where we need to comply with a legal obligation
• Where necessary for legitimate interests by us or a third party, and your interest and fundamental rights do not override those interests. For instance, your insurance company.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it. 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 not that we may process your personal date without your knowledge or consent, where this is required or permitted by the law.

We do not use any automated decision–making processes using your personal data.

We will share your personal data with the third parties and other service providers where it is necessary to perform our services to you, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so, or where required by the law.

We require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

We may also need to share your personal data with a regulator or to otherwise comply with the law.

All third parties are required to take appropriate security measure to protect your personal data. We only permit third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes in accordance with our instructions, and not for their own purposes.

We have security measure to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We limit access to your personal data to only those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. If we suspect that a date breech has occurred, we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

We 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, this will usually be a maximum of seven years.

1. Request access to your personal data (“data subject access request”)
2. Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you
3. Request erasure of your personal data
4. Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this basis.

5. Request the restriction of processing of your personal data
6. Request the transfer of your personal data to another party
7. Right to withdraw consent. To withdraw your consent please contact us directly.
