Provision of personal information to us is generally optional. However, if you do not provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to fulfil any requests you make which are dependent on us having your personal information such as your email address of phone number.
Communication monitoring
We may also monitor, record, store and use communications we have with you to improve the quality of our service, to confirm any instructions you give us, and/or for training and operational compliance purposes.
How we use your personal information
We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
- Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
- Where you have given your consent to our use of your personal information e.g., for the purposes of sending direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
We use your personal information so that we can, in accordance with the consented request for more information that you have sent to us, provide you with content, products, services, tailored and personalised recommendations. Bounce uses your information to facilitate the sale of products by choosing the best product that meets the needs of our customers.
To facilitate sales, we may use personal information including your IP address, MAC address, port information, logical network address or similar operational or technical information about your equipment or of each device you use to access Bounces’ services. This information is held securely within restricted areas accessible only by authorised personnel and in accordance with our Data Retention and Acceptable Use policies.
In addition to using your personal information for such purposes, we may also use your information to improve our products, services and customer experiences, in the following ways:
- To monitor, improve and protect our content, products and services, work with our agents and business partners to improve the product and services we offer, and develop new content, products and services.
- To help us define groups of audiences to send adverts to, based on factors like interests, age, location and more, so we can show adverts to the people most likely to be interested in the products and services being promoted.
- For market research.
- With your consent, to send you periodic newsletters and other information about content, products and services you have chosen or are entitled to receive.
- For use in credit decisions, for the detection and prevention against fraud and other crimes, and debt recovery purposes.
We may give you choices on how we use your information to send you direct marketing.
Where you have agreed, we may send you communications by post, telephone, SMS, email or other electronic means, using the contact details you have provided, about our and our business partners’ content, products and services, events and special offers.
You can always choose not to receive direct marketing or tailored advertising and service from Bounce Renewables Ltd in the following ways:
- Clicking on the unsubscribe link in any electronic marketing information from us.
- By calling us on 03334559333
How we share your information
- We will share your personal information with our customers where you have chosen to receive a product or service from them during the Bounce sales journey. The business you have chosen to receive the product or service from will act as a separate data controller of your personal information and its processing of your information will be in accordance with its own privacy policy which it will make available to you.
- We may share your information with credit reference, fraud prevention agencies, entities in which we hold a share of the ownership and other companies for use in credit decisions, for the detection and prevention against fraud and other crimes, and debt recovery purposes. If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified the details will be passed to fraud prevention agencies. Law enforcement agencies 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: checking details on applications for credit and credit related or other facilities; managing credit and credit related accounts and facilities; recovering debt; other types of financial services; or checking details of job applications and employees. We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies. Please contact us if you want to receive details of the relevant fraud prevention agencies.
- We may share your information with third parties to enable us to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements.
- We may share your personal information with businesses which provide services to us and which act as data processors such as marketing automation agencies and call auditing services, subject to appropriate measure and controls in place to protect your information in accordance with GDPR or other applicable data protection laws and regulations and regulatory guidance. In all instances, we will take into account the nature of the information we are transferring, and the level of protection provided by those processors.
- We may share your personal information with third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
Transferring your information abroad
If we transfer your personal information to third parties outside of the UK or EEA, we will ensure a similar level of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
- Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.
Keeping your information
We will retain a record of your personal information in order to provide you with a high quality and consistent service from Bounce. We will always retain your personal information in accordance with law and regulation and never retain your information for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, and in accordance with our Data Retention Policy.
Protecting your information
We endeavour to protect your data by storing it on secure servers and by using technical and organisational security measures to safeguard your personal data and to reduce the risk of loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure and alteration. Some of the safeguards we use are firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls, and information controls.
