Birchwood Group Privacy Policy on behalf of Destination Triumph
 
This policy supports our aims that whatever personal data we collect via whatever format, we comply at all times with relevant Data Protection Legislation. You can contact our Data Controller at  Birchwood Group, Lottbridge Drove, Eastbourne East Sussex BN23 6PX or via email to digital@birchwoodgroup.co.uk
 
We obtain personal data in the following ways:
  1. Personal data directly provided by you- this could be information you supply during a telephone call or via an application for services or products. It could be in written, digital or verbal format.
  2. Personal data provided by you to  a third party- this could be a manufacturer, finance company, service provider or  public authority that you have provided data to.
  3. Personal data gathered via online technology- this will generally be via use of our website or social media channels.
How we use your data
Birchwood  uses your personal data:
- to provide goods and services to you;
- to make a tailored website available to you;
- to manage any registered account(s) that you hold with us;
- to verify your identity;
- for crime and fraud prevention, detection and related purposes;
- with your agreement, to contact you  about promotional offers and products which we think may interest you;
- for market research purposes - to better understand your needs;
- to enable Birchwood to manage customer service interactions with you; and
- where we have a legal right or duty to use or disclose your information (for example in relation to an investigation by a public authority or in a legal dispute).
How we store and protect your data
 
We take all reasonable steps to protect and store your personal data:
  • All employees are trained on the importance of protecting personal data and this is regularly promoted via team meetings, GDPR workshops and our in-house newsletter.
  • Digital data is held on secure servers and access is via individual passwords. Access levels are restricted by location and job role to ensure that only relevant data can be accessed by each employee.
  • Paper records are kept to a minimum and whilst not in use, are stored in secure facilities.
  • Printers  are operated via an individual PIN access
  • Firewalls and anti virus protection are on live updates to ensure we are always using the most relevant option available
  • All company devices require two stage login access and can be remotely tracked.
In order to make our services available to you we may be required to share your personal data with selected service partners. These may include:
  • Vehicle Manufacturer
  • Vehicle Manufacturer suppliers where a data sharing agreement is in place
  • DVLA
  • Warranty providers
  • Finance providers if you have arranged partial or full funding through a third party
  • Motability suppliers
  • Governmental bodies, regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts/tribunals and insurers where we are required to do so: -
- to comply with our legal obligations;
- to exercise our legal rights (for example in court cases);
- for the prevention, detection, investigation of crime or prosecution of offenders; and
- for the protection of our employees and customers.
Aside from our service providers, public authority or legal entities we will not disclose your personal data without your express authority to do so. Birchwood will never sell or rent customer data to other organisations.

 

How long do we keep your data?
We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of data, however the longest we will normally hold any personal data is 7 years if there is a legal or audit requirement. Enquiry data that does not lead to the sale of a product and for which further contact is not relevant, will usually be destroyed after 60 days although this may vary subject to the system in use. Employment applications will usually be held for 180 days
 
Permissions
We try at all times to obtain your permission to utilise your personal data as outlined under this privacy policy. This consent can be given or removed at any time by you or by your legal representatives.
There may be times when there is a legitimate interest to contact you without direct consent. Examples of such occasions could be:
  • Vehicle recalls
  • MOT expiry
  • Scheduled service reminders ( mileage and/or date linked)
  • Warranty expiry
  • Finance expiry
  • Obligations arising out of our  contract with you
  • Clarification of instructions from you or your legal representatives
This list is not exhaustive and we do not accept liability if contact does not take place and you subsequently discover an agreement has expired. You can at any time ask us to stop these contacts regardless of there being a legitimate interest but in such circumstances we would encourage you to ensure you have alternative measures in place to avoid potential losses.
You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes or from sharing your details with partner businesses. If you consent (or have consented) to receive marketing you may opt out at any later date.
You can update your permissions at any time by emailing digital@birchwoodgroup.co.uk or writing to The Data Controller, Birchwood Group, Lottbridge Drove, Eastbourne East Sussex BN23 6PX
