3. How is your personal data collected?
Where our use of your personal information requires your consent, you can provide such consent:
• At the time we collect your personal information following the instructions provided; or
• by informing us by e-mail, post or phone using the contact details set out in this Privacy.
4. How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal
data in the following circumstances:
• Where you have asked us to do so or consented to us doing so.
• Where we need to perform the contract that 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.
5. Disclosures of your personal data
We may share your personal data in the following ways where we deem appropriate.
• with any of the companies within the Blink group.
• 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.
6. International Transfers
We do not transfer your personal data outside the UK.
7. Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally
lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your
personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to
know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions.
Despite these precautions, and although we will do our best to protect your personal data, Blink cannot
guarantee the security of information transmitted over the Internet or that unauthorised persons will not
obtain access to personal data. In the event of an actual or suspected data breach, we have put in place
procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable
regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
8. Data Retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We do not keep your data for any specific period but will not keep it for longer than is necessary for our
purposes.
9. Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables
you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing
it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete
or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new
data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where
there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or
remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see
below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your
personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with
your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of
your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a
third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to
processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have
the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some
cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which
override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the
processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
• If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
• Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
• Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish,
exercise or defend legal claims.
• You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding
legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third
party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to
use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However,
this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you
withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise
you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).
However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your
right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to
ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also
contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a
month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will
notify you and keep you updated.
