Protecting Your Personal Data

Your Personal Data isn’t just protected by the quality, commitment and high standards of Gidea Park Motors, it’s also protected by law. The law states that we can only process your Personal Data when there is a genuine reason to do so and it must be one of the following:

  • To fulfil any contract that we have with you
  • We have a legal obligation
  • Where you have consented to the processing
  • When it is in our legitimate interest
  • When it is in the public interest
  • When it is in your vital interests

Legitimate Interests

When we have a business or commercial reason to process your Personal Data this is referred to as a legitimate interest. Your Personal Data is still protected and we must not process it in a way that would be unfair to you or your interests.

If we do use legitimate interests as a reason to process your Personal Data we will tell you that we are doing so, what our legitimate interests are and provide you with a method to raise any questions or objections you may have. However, compelling grounds for processing such information may over-ride your right to object.

How long we keep your Personal Data

Whenever your data is kept, we will ensure that it is appropriately protected and only used for acceptable purposes.

We will keep your data for the period that you are a customer of Gidea Park Motors.

If you are no longer a customer, we will keep your data for the minimum length of time required to comply with the purposes set out in this policy and relevant legal or regulatory obligations. Your Personal Data may be kept longer if we cannot delete it for technical reasons.

Provided we do not have a legitimate interest to retain your details, you have the right to be forgotten and removed from our marketing material. You can contact us by telephone, email or in person to confirm this.

Why we process your Personal Data

We process your data to ensure you receive the best service levels. We will keep your details on our secure system and will contact you by email or telephone in connection with work being carried, or due to be carried out on your vehicle or any of our services you have engaged with.

If you choose not to provide your Personal Data it may prevent us from meeting legal obligations, fulfilling a contract, or performing services you expect from Gidea Park Motors. Not providing your Personal Data may mean we are unable to provide you with our services.
