1. This privacy policy applies to EV4 Ltd’s website at http://www.dsdevices.com/. We at EV4 Ltd take your privacy seriously.
This policy covers the collection, processing and other use of personal data
under the Data Protection Act 1998, for which purpose the data controller is EV4
Ltd. By using EV4 Ltd’s website you consent to the policy. We are registered
with the Information Commissioner’s Office for this purpose.
Information
we collect
2.
We will collect personal data on this
website only if it is directly provided to us by you the user, e.g. your e-mail
address, name, home or work address and telephone number, and therefore has
been provided by you with your consent. Normally you will only provide such
details if you wish for further information or are making a purchase from us.
We also use analytical and statistical tools that monitor details of your
visits to our website and the resources that you access, including, but not
limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data
(but this data will not identify you personally).
3.
Your payment information (e.g. credit card
details) provided when you make a purchase from our website is not received or stored by us. That
information is processed securely and privately by the third party payment
processors that we use. EV4 Ltd will not have access to that information at any
time. We may share your personal data with our payment processors, but only for
the purpose of completing the relevant payment transaction. Such payment processors
are banned from using your personal data, except to provide these necessary
payment services to us, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality
of your personal data and payment information.
Use,
storage and disclosure of your information
4.
We may hold and process this personal data
in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and send you our e-newsletters
from time to time, but we will not transfer, share, sell, rent or lease your
personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data within our
group of companies, but it will still be subject to these terms if we do.
5.
The
information that we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to
enable us to provide our services to you. In addition, we may use the information
for the following purposes:
5.1 To provide you with information requested
from us, relating to our products or services. To provide information on other
products which we feel may be of interest to you, where you have consented to
receive such information;
5.2 To meet our contractual commitments to you;
5.3 To notify you about any changes to our
website, such as improvements or service/product changes, that may affect our
service;
5.4 If you are an existing customer, we may
contact you with information about goods and services similar to those which
were the subject of a previous sale to you;
5.5 If you are a new customer, we will only
contact you when you have provided consent and only by those means for which
you provided consent; and
5.6 To assist fraud protection and minimise
credit risk.
6.
If
you do not want us to use your data for our use, you will have the opportunity
to withhold your consent to this when you provide your details to us on the
form on which we collect your data, or can do so by sending us an email to info@ev4.co.uk
at any time.
7.
Please
be advised that we do not reveal information about identifiable individuals to
our advertisers but we may, on occasion, provide them with aggregate
statistical information about our visitors.
8.
As part of the services offered to you, for
example through our website, the information you provide to us may be
transferred to and stored in countries outside of the European Economic Area
(EEA) as we use remote website server hosts to provide the website and some
aspects of our service, which may be based outside of the EEA, or use servers
based outside of the EEA - this is generally the nature of data stored in “the
Cloud”. It may also be processed by
staff operating outside the EEA who work one of our suppliers, e.g. our website
server host, or work for us when temporarily outside of the EEA. A transfer of
your personal data may happen if any of our servers are located in a country
outside of the EEA or one of our service providers is located in a country
outside of the EEA. If we transfer or store your personal data outside the EEA
in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy
rights continue to be protected, as outlined in this privacy policy and in
accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. If you use our service while you are outside the EEA, your personal
data may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with these
services.
9.
We do not use or disclose sensitive
personal data, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your
explicit consent.
10. We
may disclose your personal data outside of our group: (a) in the event that we
sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal
data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; and (b) if EV4 Ltd’s business is bought by a third
party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one
of the assets to transfer to the buyer.
However any such transfer will only be on terms that the confidentiality
of your personal data is protected and that the terms of this privacy policy
will continue to be complied with by the recipient.
11. Otherwise,
we will process, disclose or share your personal data only if required to do so
by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with
legal requirements or legal process served on us or the website.
12. You
have the right to opt out of our processing your personal data for marketing
purposes by contacting us at info@ev4.co.uk.
Security
13. The
transmission of information via the Internet or email is not completely
secure. Although we will do our best to
protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data while you
are transmitting it to our site; any such transmission is at your own
risk. Once we have received your
personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to
prevent unauthorised access.
Third party links
14. You might find links to third party
websites on our website. These websites should have their own privacy policies, which you should check.
We do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies whatsoever
as we have no control over them.
16. The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to access information
held about you by us. This right can be exercised by you in accordance with the
Act - an access request will be subject to a fee of £10 towards our costs of
complying with your request for the information we hold about you. Should you wish to receive details
that we hold about you, please contact us using the contact details below.
17. We
may update these policies to reflect changes to the website and customer
feedback. Please regularly review these policies to be informed of how we are
protecting your personal data.
We
welcome any queries, comments or requests you may have regarding this Privacy
Policy. Please do not hesitate to contact us at info@ev4.co.uk
