- Our legal bases for processing your data
The law on data protection sets out a number of lawful bases for which a company may collect and process your personal data. The lawful bases upon which we will process your personal data are:-
Consent
Where you have opted-in to receive information from us, we will collect your personal data and we will process your data in accordance with your consent.
Legitimate interest
In certain circumstances we require your data to pursue our legitimate interest in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedoms or interests. For example, where you interact with us by completing a contact form on our website, we may use that information to improve our website and your experience at our service stations. We may also use your purchase history to send you or make available personalised offers.
Legal compliance
If the law requires, we need to collect and process your data. For example we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting our service stations to law enforcement agencies for the purposes of crime prevention and detection.
Please note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data.
- How we keep your information secure
We have appropriate security measures to your prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed unlawfully. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we carry out penetration testing to identify ways to further strengthen security.
- Third parties with whom we may share your data
We sometimes share your personal data with trusted third parties, to help us personalise our offers to you, for fraud management, and to handle complaints. These third parties include our store operators.
– We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services.
– They may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them.
– Should we stop using their services your data held by them will be deleted.
We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies to comply with our legal obligations.
We may need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a re-structuring. Usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible.
We may need to share your personal information with our group companies, which means our subsidiaries and holding companies and any subsidiary or holding company of the same.
- How long do we keep your data
Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Where processing is based on your consent, we shall only process your personal data until such time as you withdraw your consent unless we have another lawful basis on which we can continue to process your personal data.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.
- Your Privacy rights
You have the right to request:
- to request information regarding the personal data that we hold about you and the source(s) of that information. You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you. This service is usually free of charge, although we have the right to charge a ‘reasonable fee’ in some circumstances;
- to request that we rectify any inaccuracies in relation to the personal data we hold;
- in some circumstances, to request the erasure of your personal data or object to the processing of your data;
- to object to any direct marketing;
- in some circumstances, to request that your personal data be transferred to you or a new provider if the data is processed automatically;
- to withdraw consent to us processing your personal data. This will not affect the processing already carried out with your consent; and
- to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
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). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to a person who does not have the right to receive it.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
