Processing necessary for us to support customers with sales and other enquiries 

1.   To respond to correspondence you send to us and fulfil the requests you make to us (for example: test drives, service requests, brochure requests or information about specific vehicles); 

2.   To provide vehicle support and services (for example warranty services);

4.   To analyse, evaluate and improve our products and services so that your visit and use of our website, applications, customer service centre and dealer network are more useful and enjoyable (we will generally use data amalgamated from many people so that it doesn’t identify you personally); 

5.   To undertake market analysis and research (including contacting you with customer surveys) so that we can better understand you as a customer and provide tailored offers, products and services that we think you will be interested in.  We will only send such offers to you if you have provided your consent for us to do so; 

6.   For product development purposes (for example to improve vehicle quality, performance and safety); 

7.   We use automated methods to analyse, combine and evaluate information that you have provided to us (including by using information we receive from third party data providers and by receiving and sharing your personal information within our group of companies like Volkswagen Financial Services), see details about our relevant group companies under ‘How do we share this information?’ below:·      

• We collect and analyse this information in this way so that we can deliver the most appropriate customer experience to you by tailoring and making relevant all our services and communications, including by making predictions about your current or future needs or interests (for example, when you might be ready to change your vehicle and the models you may be interested in);

You have the right to object to us sending you this information at any time;

We, or an agency acting on our behalf, may also ask platforms to display our advertisements to groups of people with certain interests or attributes and those platforms may use information that they have collected from you directly, independently of any request from us. In these cases, we may never receive that information or know that our advertisement has been seen by you specifically.  The information used to display an advertisement to you online may also be used to avoid displaying an advertisement (for example, to avoid showing you an advert for a product you have already purchased).  You may see our advertisements in your social media feed or when you use search engines, view videos or visit other websites.  To find out more, please refer to the information provided in the help pages of the platforms on which you receive advertising from us.  Please also see the section below for further information regarding our use of social media platforms specifically;

To find out more about our relationship with TikTok, please see the terms of the data sharing arrangement we have with TikTok and the TikTok Privacy Policy. 

We may share your personal information with commercial partners with whom we collaborate and also with organisations in the wider automotive community that we support. For example, we may share limited information with third party rewards schemes or with vehicle charging and capacity planning organisations to ensure that the infrastructure necessary to allow you to use your vehicle is in place.

Due to the international nature of our business, there may be some instances where your information is processed or stored outside of the UK. Those countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK and so may not protect the use of your personal information to the same standard. 

In those instances, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Statement. These steps include imposing contractual obligations on the recipient of your personal information using standard clauses issued by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (or other relevant body) and relying on decisions issued by the relevant UK Secretary of State (or other relevant person) declaring that a recipient or country is adequately protective of personal information to a degree that allows us to safely transfer your personal information to that recipient or country.  This includes any international frameworks that allow recipients to certify that they can receive your personal information safely and process it in a manner that is protected to an equivalent standard as that under UK laws.

Please contact us using the details at the end of this Privacy Statement for more information about the protections that we put in place and to obtain a copy of the relevant documents.

If you use our services whilst you are outside the UK, your information may be transferred outside the UK in order to receive those services. 

Safeguards

 We take steps to ensure that any third party partners who handle your information comply with data protection legislation and protect your information just as we do. We only disclose personal information that is necessary for them to provide the service that they are undertaking on our behalf. We will aim to anonymise your information including using aggregated datasets, where ever possible. 

We will not hold your personal information in an identifiable format for any longer than is necessary. If you are a customer or otherwise have a relationship with us we will hold personal information about you for a longer period than if we have obtained your details in connection with a prospective relationship. 

We do not retain personal information in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary. 

Customer/driven relationships 

If we have a relationship with you (e.g. you are a customer or the registered driver of a leased or other vehicle purchased from us or an authorised dealer), we hold your personal information for 6 years from the date our relationship ends. We hold your personal information after our relationship ends to establish, bring or defend legal claims and for marketing purposes. For clarity, if you have provided your consent, we will continue to send marketing to you during those 6 years unless you opt-out. Our relationship may end for a number of reasons including where the vehicle warranty or lease expires, or we have been made aware that you no longer own or drive that vehicle. 

Prospective relationships 

 Where we have obtained your personal information following a request for information, test drive, brochure, quotation or any other information on any of our products or services, we hold your personal information for 1 year and 6 months from the date we collect that information, unless during that period we form a relationship with you e.g. you purchase or lease a vehicle or consent for us to send you marketing information. 

Where you have consented to receive marketing, regardless of whether or not we have a prospective relationship with you based on an information request, we will retain information we need to market to you for 3 years and 6 months from the date consent was given (unless you are a customer/driver, for which a longer period applies – see further above). Each time you provide your consent, the time period will refresh. 

We hold your personal information for the above periods to give us an opportunity to form a relationship with you. 

Exceptions  

The only exceptions to the periods mentioned above are where: 

• The law requires us to hold your personal information for a longer period, or delete it sooner; 
  
• Where you have raised a legal claim, complaint or concern regarding a product or service offered by us, in which case we will retain your information for a period of 6 years following the date of that complaint or query; or 
  
• You exercise your right to have the information erased (where it applies) and we do not need to hold it in connection with any of the reasons permitted or required under the law (see further 'How can I manage the information we hold about you' below). 
  

You have the right as an individual to access your personal information we hold about you and make corrections if necessary. You also have the right to withdraw any consent you have previously given us and ask us to erase information we hold about you. You can also object to us using your personal information (where we rely on our business interests to process and use your personal information). 

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal information under data protection law. In relation to most rights, we will ask you for information to confirm your identity and, where applicable, to help us search for your personal information. Except in rare cases, we will respond to you within 1 month after we have received any request (including any identification documents requested). 

You have the right to: 

1. Ask for a copy of the information that we hold about you; 
   
2. Correct and update your information; 
   
3. Withdraw your consent (where we rely on it). Please see further How do we use this information section on this page; 
   
4. Object to our use of your information (for direct marketing, or where we rely on our legitimate interests to use your personal information) provided we do not have any continuing lawful reason to continue to use and process the information. When we do rely on our legitimate interests to use your personal information for direct marketing, we will always comply with your right to object; 
   
5. Erase your information (or restrict the use of it), provided we do not have any continuing lawful reason to continue to use and process that information; 
   
6. Transfer your information in a structured data file (in a commonly used and machine-readable format), where we rely on your consent to use and process your personal information or need to process it in connection with your contract. 
   

You also have the right not to be subject to purely automated decisions (including profiling) where this has a significant effect on you. We do not envisage that any decisions will be taken about you in this way, however we will update this statement if this changes.
