Privacy Policy
Your personal data – what is it?
Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controllers’ possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the ‘GDPR’).
Who are we?
Product Protect Ltd is the data controller. This means that we decide how your personal data is processed, and for what purposes. Our registered offices are located at Brow Cottage, Main Road, Yapton, West Sussex, BN18 0EZ. Product Protect Ltd is registered in England No. 08437765.
How do we process your personal data?
Product Protect Ltd complies with its obligations under the GDPR by keeping personal data up to date, by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.
We may use your personal data for the following purposes:
• To generate and administer your service plan;
• To market relevant offers and promotions to you.
What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?
Under Article 6 (1b) of the GDPR, the legal basis that Product Protect Ltd employs for processing your personal data is that processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a service plan to which you, the ‘data subject’ is party, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a service plan.
Sharing your personal data
From time to time your Personal Information and Goods Information may also be shared with companies acting on our behalf or providing services to us (e.g. the companies we use to carry out repairs).
How long do we keep your personal data for?
We will keep your personal data securely for a maximum of 10 years, after which time it will be destroyed securely if it is no longer needed for the lawful purposes for which it was obtained. In some limited cases, it may be necessary to retain your personal data for longer if we need to hold it for liability claim purposes. If you consent to receiving marketing from us, any information we use for this purpose will be held by us until such time as you notify us that you no longer wish to receive marketing information from us.
