Sensitive Personal Data

We do not collect any sensitive data, except where a physical or mental health vulnerability is disclosed directly to us during our interactions with you or a representative contacting us on your behalf. We will only record the information that is proportionate and necessary for us to understand your circumstances so that that we can provide you with the assistance you need.

Where do we get personal information from?

We collect personal information from the following sources:

You directly
Your nominated representative e.g. a lawyer, Power of Attorney or next of kin
Our website and social media channels

What is our Lawful Basis for processing your personal data?

Our use of your personal data will always have a lawful basis, either because it is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data (e.g. by subscribing to direct marketing), we have a legal obligation, or because it is in our legitimate interests.

Contract

Where you have engaged us to provide you with our services or a quote, we will process the data necessary to fulfil these obligations.
Where we are processing data on the basis of contract, your right to object and right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing will not apply.

Consent

We will only market directly to you and use cookies on our website where you have explicitly consented to this.

We will only collect and process health information with your consent if you have a vulnerability and it is necessary for us to know this information to better support you.

Where we use consent as our lawful basis you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Legal Obligation

We have a regulatory obligation to investigate and resolve complaints about regulated financial products.

Legitimate Interest

We use legitimate interest as our lawful basis for processing your personal data in the following circumstances:

Sending you ongoing contract communications, in-life contract services, notifications, and any other important information about products and services you may request from us.
Sharing your name, telephone number and email address with our data processors to send marketing, service and feedback survey emails.
Notifying you about changes to our service or this privacy policy.
Responding to comments or posts on our website or social media channels.
Recording calls for quality, training and complaint resolution purposes.
Investigating and resolving complaints about non-regulated products.

We will always ensure that processing your data for our legitimate interests does not cause you harm and that it is targeted, proportionate, and has a minimal privacy impact. We will only process the personal data that is necessary for our legitimate interests, and we will store it securely and only for a long as is necessary.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it as detailed above, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so, or we will seek your consent if required.

How Is Personal Data Stored at Intelligent Car Leasing?

We have physical, technical and organisational systems in place to ensure the safeguarding of your personal data. We have adopted strict confidentiality and data protection policies in relation to your data which all staff must adhere to and are trained in annually.
Personal data in digital format is stored in cloud data centres within the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Personal data stored in marketing and communication platforms or email archives are stored in EU or US locations, however these are covered by UK adequacy regulations and the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Physical data is stored securely in our head office.

Security Measures

Data security is very important to us, and to protect your data we have taken suitable measures to safeguard and secure the data we process.

We currently implement appropriate technical and organisational measures that ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk and protect the personal data from being:

accidentally or unlawfully destroyed, lost or altered,
disclosed or made available without authorisation, or
otherwise processed in violation of applicable Data Protection laws.

The appropriateness of the technical and organisational security measures will be based on:

the current state of the art;
the cost of their implementation; and
the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as well as the likelihood of risks and the impact on the data protection rights and freedoms of data subjects.

How long do we keep your information?

We will keep your personal information for as long as you have a product or are using a service from us, and in most situations, for up to 7 years after. The reasons we may do this are:

To respond to a question or complaint, or to show whether we gave you fair treatment.
To obey rules that apply to us about keeping records, for example HMRC requirements.

Your personal data will be removed from our marketing database within one week if you decide to unsubscribe from this service.

Who will we share your data with?

There are times when we are required to share personal information with other parties. However, the information we hold on our clients is an important part of our business and it is not our business to sell or rent this information to others.

We may however share personally identifiable information about our clients with selected third parties or suppliers in order to process your order or fulfil our contractual obligations with you, for example, to our select panel of finance providers, approved dealerships, manufacturers, third-party service providers, or salary sacrifice insurance provider where applicable. We aim to ensure that these third parties have sufficient data security measures in place when handling your data.

We may also share your information where we believe we have a legal obligation to do so. This may include sharing information about fixed penalty notices with the issuing authority or where we receive a Data Protection Access request from law enforcement agencies.

Data Processors

We use third party data processors to provide us with additional services. Please see the below list of key external providers with whom we share your data and the purpose of this sharing. These agents only have access to the information required for that purpose and may not use it for any other purpose.

We shall enter into a written agreement with each processor containing data protection obligations that uphold your data protection rights, to the extent applicable to the nature of the service provided by such processor; and we will be responsible for assessing that each processor is competent to process personal data in line with the UK GDPR’s requirements.

Sharing information outside the UK

Where necessary, we may transfer personal information outside of the UK. When doing so, we comply with the UK GDPR, making sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or ITDA Addendum. Please contact us for more information.

Business Transfers

We are continually trying to expand and improve our business and we may sell or buy businesses or assets in these transactions. Client information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these situations and in the event that Intelligent Car Leasing Limited or substantially all of its assets are acquired, client information may be one of the transferred assets. The new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use that data only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by us.
