Special category data

In general, we will not process special category personal data about you unless it is necessary for performing or exercising obligations or rights in connection with your relationship with us. There may also be other reasons for processing, such as where it is in the public interest to do so. Where we process your special category personal data, we will comply with applicable data protection laws, including obtaining your consent where this is required.

Automated decision making

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing or profiling that produce legal effects concerning you (or have similarly significant effects).

Sometimes we might share your data with third parties. We will not share your personal data unnecessarily and will always ensure that all third parties who process your personal data on our behalf have entered into an appropriate written contract with us, are required to process it in accordance with our instructions and have appropriate measures in place to protect it.

The types of organisation we may share your personal data with include:

  • our retailers, sales partners, franchise partners and agencies based in the UK or the EU, to enable the management of test ride bookings, quotations and sales, vehicle registration and handovers, provide after-sales support and maintenance, collect customer leads and communicate about vehicle delivery; 
  • our parent company TVS Motor Co. Ltd (based in India) and other affiliates and group companies with which we are associated, for any of the purposes set out in our processing table set out above;
  • Your Appstore Provider and mobile network operator to allow you to install the App;
  • service providers we use for specific purposes, who may be based inside or outside the UK or the EU, including:
    • IT service providers (who may process your data when carrying out maintenance on our IT systems);
    • marketing agencies such as Merkle / Dentsu Group (who may process your data when assisting us with marketing campaigns, digital lead capture, website forms and analytics, processing marketing opt-ins and running customer engagement journeys);
    • social media companies (who may process your data when supporting our targeting activities);
    • debt collection agencies (who may process your data if you fail to pay us for our goods and services and we need to enforce the debt);
    • finance providers such as TVS Credit Services Ltd (based in India) or banks (who may process your data should you enquire about financing options for our goods);

    • delivery companies (who may process your data if you purchase goods from us and they need to be delivered or collected by you);

  • regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, public authorities, courts or other third parties on verified requests where necessary to exercise our rights or comply with a legal obligation; and
  • in the event of a sale, transfer or merger of all or a part of our business or assets, we may transfer you data to the buyer and its professional advisers. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merger with them. If a change happens to our business, the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in the Policy.

We store and process your personal data in the UK. We may, from time to time, transfer your personal data to locations outside UK (for example, because we need to share the data with a third party based outside the UK). If you are based in the EU, then this will involve a transfer outside the EU.

The locations of the third parties outside the UK or the EU (as applicable) may not have adequate data protection laws equivalent to those in place within the UK or the EU (as applicable). For transfers of your personal data to third parties outside the UK or the EU (as applicable) that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK / the EU, we take additional steps where required in line with data protection laws, which may be to:

  • use approved standard contractual clauses which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK or the EU (as applicable); or
  • transferring data only when one or more of the conditions set out in Article 49 of the UK GDPR / the EU GDPR are met.

We are committed to securing your personal data and keeping it confidential. We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from being accidentally or unlawfully destroyed, lost, altered, disclosed, used or accessed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and service providers who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions.

However, please note that despite our best efforts we cannot guarantee the security of information being exchanged over the internet and, where the Site contains links to other website plug-ins and applications that are not operated by us, clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you – we do not control these third party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave the Site, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

We will only retain your personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for or as required by law. As a result, the length of time that we keep your personal data for will vary depending on the purposes for which we have it. In any event, we will review what personal data we need on an ongoing basis and will only retain it for the minimum amount of time that we need it. When doing so, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

  • Right to be informed. You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data by us.
  • Right of access.  You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. These are commonly known as “data subject access requests”.

  • Right to erasure. You may ask us to delete information we hold about you where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. However, please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Right to restriction of processing. In some cases, you may have the right to have the processing of your personal data suspended. These circumstances are as follows:
    • if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
    • where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
    • where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
    • you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have an overriding legitimate interests grounds to use it.
  • Right to object to processing. You can object to the processing of your data when we are relying on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to the processing on this ground as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your data for the purposes of direct marketing or statistical analysis. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Right to data portability. You have the right to request that we transfer your personal data to you or, where technically feasible, to a third party where you have provided it in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

  • Withdraw consent at any time. You can request this where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.

We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data or to exercise any of your other rights.
