7.2 This list is not exhaustive and may be updated from time to time.
7.3 We also may use automated decision making, where a decision is taken solely on the basis of automated processing of your Personal Data. This means processing using, for example, software code or an algorithm, which does not require human intervention.
7.4 We use automated decision making, including profiling, in certain circumstances, such as when it is in our legitimate interests to do so, or where we have a right to do so because it is necessary for us to enter into, and perform, a contract with you. We use profiling to enable us to give you the best service across the Jardine Motors Group, including specific marketing in which we believe you will be interested. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effects for you or affects you in any other significant way. If you are seeking to exercise this right, please contact us using the details in section 16 below.
7.5 If you are a prospective customer and/or an existing customer with us, we may use automated decision making to carry out a credit check on you. In an underwriting context, profiling is routinely carried out on your personal risk information to assess your individual risk in order to make a decision about whether to provide you with the goods and/or services. We may also apply automated decision making to telematics data.
7.6 You have certain rights in respect of automated decision making, where that decision has significant effects on you, including where it produces a legal effect on you.
8 How long do we keep your Personal Data?
8.1 We will retain your Personal Data for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. In some circumstances we may retain your Personal Data for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements.

13.2 Where our processing of your Personal Data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you do decide to withdraw your consent we will stop processing your Personal Data for that purpose, unless there is another lawful basis we can rely on, in which case we will let you know. Your withdrawal of your consent will not impact any of our processing up to that point.
13.3 You may request access to your data, correction of any mistakes in our files, erasure of records where no longer required, restriction on the processing of your data, objection to the processing of your data, exercise rights of data portability and obtain information in relation to any automated decision making and profiling or the basis for international transfers. You may also exercise a right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”). For more information about each of these rights, please refer to the table set out below.
| Right | What this means |
| Access | You can ask us to:
- confirm whether we are processing your Personal Data;
- give you a copy of that data; and
- provide you with other information about your Personal Data such as what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it abroad and how we protect it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we have carried out any automated decision making or profiling, to the extent that this information has not already been provided to you in this Notice.
|
| Rectification | You can ask us to rectify inaccurate Personal Data. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it. |
| Erasure | You can ask us to erase your Personal Data, but only where:
- it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; or
- you have withdrawn your consent (where the data processing was based on consent); or
- following a successful right to object (see Objection below); or
- it has been processed unlawfully; or
- to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
We are not required to comply with your request to erase your Personal Data if the processing of your Personal Data is necessary:
- for compliance with a legal obligation; or
- for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
There are certain other circumstances in which we are not required to comply with your erasure request, although these two are the most likely circumstances in which we would deny that request.
|
| Restriction | You can ask us to restrict (i.e. keep but not use) your Personal Data, but only where:
- its accuracy is contested (see Rectification above), to allow us to verify its accuracy; or
- the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; or
- it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
- you have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending.
We can continue to use your Personal Data following a request for restriction, where:
- we have your consent; or
- to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
- to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.
|
| Portability | You can ask us to provide your Personal Data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it 'ported' directly to another controller, but in each case only where:
- the processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract with you; or
- the processing is carried out by automated means.
|
| Objection | You can object to any processing of your Personal Data which has our 'legitimate interests' as its legal basis, if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests.
Once you have objected, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms.
|
| Automated decision making | You can ask not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing, but only where that decision:
- produces legal effects concerning you (such as the rejection of a claim); or
- otherwise significantly affects you.
In such situations, you can also obtain human intervention in the decision making, and we will ensure measures are in place to allow you to express your point of view, and/or contest the automated decision. Your right not to be subject to automated decision making does not apply where the decision which is made:
- is necessary for entering into or performing a contract with you; or
- is authorised by law and there are suitable safeguards for your rights and freedoms; or
- is based on your explicit consent.
However, in these situations you can still obtain human intervention in the decision making, and we will ensure measures are in place to allow you to express your point of view, and/or contest the automated decision.
|
13.4 You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data or to exercise any of the other rights within this section. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
13.5 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.
13.6 We aim to respond to any valid requests within one month unless it is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests in which case we will inform you of this and we will then aim to respond within three months of receipt of the valid original request.
14 Data Security
14.1 We have put in place appropriate security measures to seek 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 and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
14.2 We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator (such as the Information Commissioner’s Office) of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
14.3 If we have provided you with a password, or if you have chosen your own password, it is your responsibility to ensure that the password is kept confidential.
