We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any personally identifying information from any source.

 

THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together follows:

  • Identity Data includes first name, maiden name, last name, username or similar identifier, marital status, title, date of birth, gender, vehicle identification number (VIN), vehicle registration mark (VRM), location and journey data.

We may also utilise the services of other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, including for example to provide subscription information, sending mail and emails, providing marketing assistance and services, and providing customer services. They will in all cases be acting as data processor for Tracker and will have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but they will not be entitled to use it for other purposes. They will be required at all times to process subscriber personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable data protection laws. Any confirmation mail or email from Tracker or an affiliate of Tracker (or another company or individual performing functions on Tracker’s behalf) may contain marketing material, including information which we think may be of interest to you from time to time. You will be able to unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe button within the email or contacting us to request this.

Your information includes all the details we hold about you and your transactions. We will only collect the information we need so that we can provide you with the products and services you expect from us in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

 

 

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA

Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data: including for the performance of our contract with you, where it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or where it is necessary for our legitimate interests such as for the running of our business and/or to keep our records updated and to study how customers use our services. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data, other than in relation to sending direct marketing communications to you via email, text message etc. You have the right to withdraw consent to processing your data at any time by contacting us including any marketing.

 

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. 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. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

 

WITH WHOM WE WILL SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

During the course of our dealings with you we may need to disclose some of your information to insurers, third party underwriters, reinsurers, credit reference, fraud prevention, and law prevention agencies and other companies that provide service to us to:

  • assess financial and insurance risks;
  • recover debt; and/or
  • prevent and detect crime (i.e. sharing your information with the Police as and when necessary).

We do not disclose your information to anyone other than Tracker (and, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, our affiliates from time to time) except:

  • where we have your permission to do so;
  • when we are required or permitted to do so by law;
  • where we may transfer rights and obligations under an agreement;
  • to prevent and detect crime (which will include sharing your information with the Police when necessary or appropriate).

From time to time we may require services from suppliers that are located outside of the EEA, and your information may be shared with them for the purposes of providing that service. Where we engage these suppliers, we make sure that they apply the same levels of protection, security and confidentiality that we apply to your information.

 

CREDIT REFERENCE, FRAUD PREVENTION AND OTHER AGENCIES

We may obtain information about you from credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies to check your credit status and identity. The agencies will record our enquiries, which may be seen by other companies who make their own credit enquiries. If you provide false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we will record this, and your details may be passed to fraud prevention agencies. Use of your information by these agencies is outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.

Please take time to read the following as it contains important information relating to the details you have given or should give to us. You should show this Policy to anyone whose data has been supplied to us in connection with your Tracker subscription.

  • We may monitor and record telephone calls and communications with you via social media in order to improve our services and to prevent and detect crime.

To prevent and detect fraud we may at any time:

  • Share information with other organisations and public bodies including the Police, although we will only do so in compliance with applicable data protection laws;
  • Check and/or file details with fraud prevention agencies and databases, and if we are given false or inaccurate information and we identify fraud or suspected fraud, we will record this, and your details may be passed to fraud prevention agencies.

We and other organisations may also use and search these agencies and databases from the UK and other countries to:

  • Trace debtors or beneficiaries, recover debt, prevent fraud and manage your accounts;
  • Check your identity to prevent money laundering (which we may in our discretion waive if you provide us with other satisfactory proof of identity);
  • Law enforcement agencies, which may access and use this information.

We and other organisations may also access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example when:

  • Managing credit and other facilities and recovering debt;
  • Checking details of job applicants and employees/other personnel.

We and other organisations that may access and use information recorded by fraud prevention agencies, may do so from other countries.

We can provide the names and addresses of the agencies we use. To obtain a copy of your information held by them, please contact Tracker Network (UK) Limited, at 6-9 The Square, Stockley Park, Uxbridge, Middlesex, United Kingdom, UB11 1FW quoting your reference.

 

DIRECT DEBIT

If you have chosen to pay for a Tracker device or subscription by direct debit, debit or credit card, we may retain your payment details securely so that we can take your payment at the next payment date in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. You may withdraw this consent at any time by emailing or writing to us, but this may affect timeliness of payments which may in turn affect the subscription.

 

SECURITY TO PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

As required by data protection law, we follow strict security procedures and protocols in connection with the storage, processing and disclosure of your information, to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. Whenever we share your information with a third party (which we will only do in accordance with this Privacy Policy), we will ensure that the security measures employed by any such third party in relation to the storage and processing of your information are at least as rigorous as those employed by Tracker. This does not apply where we are required by law to pass your information on to any third party.

 

RETENTION OF YOUR DATA

We will retain your information for six years after the business relationship has ended, or longer as required by law and/or, regulatory agencies such as the Financial Conduct Authority, HM Revenue and Customs.

 

KEEPING YOU INFORMED

We would like to keep you informed by letter, phone and electronic means (including e-mail and mobile messaging) about products, services and additional benefits that we believe may be of interest to you. If you don’t want us to do this, please tell us the next time you call or contact us by writing to our Data Protection Officer at our registered office noted above or by e-mailing us at dataprotection@tracker.co.uk.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the following rights:

  • the right to ask us to provide you with a copy of the personal information that we (including partner and affiliate agencies processing your data on our behalf) hold about you at any time free of charge.

We reserve the right to charge the administrative cost of providing you with the requested information in situations where your request is excessive or unfounded, for instance where your request is repetitive, or you require multiple copies;

  • the right to ask us to update and correct any out-of-date or incorrect personal information that we hold about you free of charge;
  • the right to opt out of any marketing communications that we (or any third party to whom we have disclosed your personal information with your consent) may send you.

All of our marketing communications will give you the opportunity to unsubscribe from receiving further marketing communications from us and you can click here to update your marketing preferences; and

  • the right to ask us to delete your personal information that we hold. We will erase your information if there are no applicable laws or regulations barring us from doing so.
