3. What is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

The personal data that we use is set out in Part 5, below.

 

4. What Are My Rights?

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

  a. The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Notice should tell you everything you            need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 11.

​

  b. The right to access the personal data we hold about you. Part 10 will tell you how to do this.

​

  c. The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact            us using the details in Part 11 to find out more.

​

  d. The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we have. Please          contact us using the details in Part 11 to find out more.

 

  e. The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.

 

  f. The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.

 

  g. The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent      or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal    data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.

​

For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 11.

​

Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

​

6. How Do You Use My Personal Data?

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data.

Your personal data may be used for one of the following purposes:

7. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

  • We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected.

  • We only keep your personal information for as long as we need to, to be able to use it for the reasons given in this privacy policy, and for as long as we are required to keep it by law. The actual period for which we store your personal information will vary depending on the type of personal information and how it is used.

 

8. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

 

We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR as follows.

​

 Where we transfer your data to a third party based in the US, this may be protected if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield. This requires that third party to provide data protection to standards similar levels of data protection to those in Europe. More information is available from the European Commission.

​

Please contact us using the details below in Part 11 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country.

The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:

  • Check to see if any third party software is GDPR compliant.

 

9. Do You Share My Personal Data?


Most of Veetireco UK Ltd’s processes, procedures and systems are shared across the TIA Group, which means that we need to share your personal information between us. We make sure that access to your personal information is limited to those of our staff who need it, and that all staff understand how and why we protect your personal information.

​

  • We share your personal information with certain third party service providers. They only have access to the personal information they need to perform those services. They are required to keep your personal information confidential and may not use it other than as we ask them to and always in accordance with this privacy policy. Those third party service providers fall into the following categories:

  • Certain distributors, who help us to sell our products in certain countries; Those helping us to deliver products to you; Third parties that help us with mailing services, product services, processing product purchases, financial services, audit services, administrative services, IT technologies (e.g. data storage), security services and insurance claims; and

  • Third parties that help us to provide services and responses to you.



We want to make sure that our advertising and marketing is relevant and interesting to you and our other customers. That means that we work with third parties to help us to understand how well our online advertising works, or to reach people who are more interested in Veetireco UK Ltd’s products. They do this by setting cookies on our website (more information on this can be found in our cookies policy).

​

We will also share limited personal information with:

  • social media platforms (such as Facebook), who serve our advertising on their platforms and

  • third party data providers and analytics companies, who perform data matching and/or data analysis on our behalf.

​

We will also share your personal information if we are required to do so by law, including in response to a legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or to comply with other national, state, provincial or local laws.

If you would like more information on how we share your personal information, please email our Privacy Team at Parminder.smith@treadsetters.co.uk .


 

10. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

​

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 11. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

​

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

​

We will respond to your subject access request within 30 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
