Your Personal Information

We consider personal Information as any information or opinion about an individual who is reasonably identifiable, and whether the information or opinion is stored in a material form or electronic form. We only collect personal information that is related to, or reasonably necessary for the purposes of the operations of our business. The types of personal information we usually collect include your name, address, phone number, email address and certain internet-related details (see below) and other information relevant to providing you with the information or services you are seeking from us. Wherever practicable, we will enable you to deal with us as anonymously or pseudonymously as you choose, however, in some cases it is not practicable to interact this way. If you choose not to provide some of your personal details, this may prevent us from providing our services to you or limit our ability to provide the level of service you would normally expect from us.

 

How we collect Personal Information

Personal information will generally be collected directly from you when you inquire, sign up to our newsletter, visit a dealer, book a viewing, purchase a product, get a quote or book in an activity through our dealers such as servicing and warranty – with us and through the use of any of our standard forms, our dealings with you over the internet, via email, by post or through a telephone conversation. The service that you use will determine exactly what information we collect. The information may include your:

There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect personal information directly from you. For example, we may collect personal information through our dealerships, third-party partners, a corporate program or through one of our partner programs.  We will usually notify you about these instances in advance, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.

We may sometimes use the personal information we collect for a secondary purpose, that is, for use in a way different from the original reasons for collection set out above. We will only do this in the following circumstances:

• where you have consented.
• where the secondary purpose is directly related to our primary purpose for collecting it in the first place, and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way;
