YOUR PRIVACY
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how WattVerdict collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit wattverdict.co.uk, contact us or interact with our services.
WHO WE ARE
WattVerdict is responsible for your information.
WattVerdict is operated in the United Kingdom by an individual acting as a sole trader under the WattVerdict name. For UK data protection purposes, WattVerdict is the data controller for the personal information described in this policy.
If you have a question about your personal information or this Privacy Policy, contact us at hello@wattverdict.co.uk.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The information you give us.
When you contact WattVerdict by email or through a website form, we may collect information including your name, email address, company name, company website, product or system details and the contents of your message.
When you use the website, some technical information may also be processed automatically, such as your IP address, browser or device information and information associated with the operation, security and performance of the website.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We only use personal information where we have a reason to.
Depending on how you interact with WattVerdict, we may use personal information to:
- respond to enquiries and communicate with you;
- deal with product testing, manufacturer, retailer or partnership enquiries;
- operate, maintain and secure the website;
- understand and improve how the website and our services are used;
- maintain appropriate business and correspondence records; and
- meet legal, regulatory or administrative requirements.
OUR LAWFUL BASIS
Why we’re allowed to use your information.
Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful basis for processing personal information. Depending on the circumstances, we generally rely on our legitimate interests in operating WattVerdict, responding to enquiries, maintaining business relationships, improving our services and keeping the website secure.
We may also process information where it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, to perform a contract, to comply with a legal obligation, or where you have given consent when consent is required.
SHARING INFORMATION
We don’t sell your personal information.
We may use trusted service providers to help operate WattVerdict, including website hosting, website forms, email, security, analytics and other technical services. These providers may process personal information on our behalf where this is necessary to provide their services.
We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with the sale or transfer of all or part of the WattVerdict business.
INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
Some service providers may operate outside the UK.
Where a service provider processes personal information outside the UK, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is handled in accordance with applicable UK data protection law, including using recognised safeguards where required.
HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION
We don’t keep personal information indefinitely.
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate business records and meeting legal or regulatory requirements. The appropriate retention period will depend on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.
YOUR RIGHTS
You have rights over your personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights to access your personal information, ask us to correct or delete it, restrict or object to certain processing, receive certain information in a portable format, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise a privacy right or ask a question about your information, email hello@wattverdict.co.uk. We may need to verify your identity before dealing with some requests.
COMPLAINTS
If you have concerns about your data.
We’d appreciate the opportunity to deal with any privacy concern directly. You can contact WattVerdict at hello@wattverdict.co.uk.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator. Information about making a complaint is available at ico.org.uk.
