We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data as well as being transparent about how we collect and process that data.

2. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the "GDPR") as "any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier".

In simpler terms, personal data is 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.

3. WHY WE COLLECT AND PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our and/or your legitimate interests to use it.

Your personal data may be used for any of the following purposes;

Provide you with goods or services to you that you have purchased from us. This is done under the legal basis of performance of a contract.
Contacting you about a manufacturers safety recall relating to a product you have purchased from us. Depending on the severity of the safety recall this may be done under the legal basis of vital interest or legitimate interest, as it is of the utmost importance that such faulty products are removed from your vehicle as soon as possible.
To send you review/feedback requests to help improve our services. These messages will not include any promotional content and do not require prior consent when sent by email or text message. This is done under the legal basis of legitimate interests as it helps make our products and service offering more suitable to you.
To send you annual vehicle maintenance schedules and usage-based safety reminder. These messages are tailored to you and will only include promotional content directly related to your vehicles particular maintenance schedule, or the vehicle part we have calculated should be approaching the manufacturers recommended replacement limit. As such these messages do not require prior consent when sent by email, post or text message. This is done under the legal basis of legitimate interests as we are helping you to proactively keep up to the date with the essential maintenance of your vehicle.
To send you discount codes, special offers and/or information about promotions. These messages are not vehicle or customer specific and so will be sent under the legal basis of consent, meaning we will only send you these messages if you have provided prior contest for your data to be processed for these purposes.

Consent will be asked for at the point of order when making a booking or placing an order online, or at the point of invoice in-store, referring to this privacy policy.

Should you later wish to withdraw consent, you may do so using the unsubscribe link in any email you receive from us, or you may use our contact details (found in section 9) to make this request.
