We transfer the user profile data, data relevant to your Installation and possible additional information provided by you on a voluntary basis for the purpose of arranging services to selected Service Providers during the Installation process. 

We also process your user profile data for the purpose of Service support, fulfilment, completion, accounting and follow-up assistance of the respective services as well as contracts including additional related actions such as invoices, credit, claims, cancellations etc.

On top of that we use user profile data, especially your telephone number and email address, to send out automated messages to notify and remind you of upcoming cleaning events and services.

We also use data to the required extent to generate invoices for the delivered services of the provider and any following necessary assistance (e.g., in case of inadequate service delivery of your provider) as well as for the settlement of our commission vis-à-vis the Service Provider.

As part of our service provision, we store which Service Provider was assigned to you and the respective product you chose, including the quotation which details the Final Price provided by our Service Provider to you via rightcharge.co.uk

In addition we transfer, depending on the chosen method of payment, your credit/debit card data (card number, expiry date, security code) or your bank account details (hereinafter also referred to as “payment data”), that we collect in connection to the service provided by Service Providers, to the licensed Payment Platform Stripe Payments Europe Limited, The One Building, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2, Ireland, cooperating with us for the purpose of handling of payments (hereinafter referred to as “payment provider”).

You can withdraw your consent at any time (see ‘Storage and Deletion’ below), but if you do so we will need to delete your account and you will no longer be able to conduct any transactions via our sites.

• We must share your personal details with one of our installer partners, in order to provide you with the intended service of the Site.

Marketing & Advertising

We love to communicate with our users and so, depending on your marketing preferences, we may use your personal information to send you marketing, including by email, SMS or post. Some of these messages may be tailored to you, based on your previous use of our sites.

If you no longer want to receive marketing communications from us (or would like to opt back in), you can change your preferences at any time by contacting hello@rightcharge.co.uk or clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any email.

If you unsubscribe from marketing, please note we will still contact you with service messages from time to time.

You may also see adverts for our sites on third party websites, including on social media. These ads may be tailored to you using cookies (which track your web activity, so enable us to serve ads to users who have visited our sites) and/or similar technologies. Where you see an ad on third party websites or social media, this may be because we have engaged the third party or social network to show ads to our users, or others who match the demographic profile of our users. In some cases, this may involve sharing your email address with the third party or social network so that they can identify you as one of our users. If you no longer want to see tailored ads you can change your cookie and privacy settings on your browser and these third party websites.

Who do we share this personal information with?

We share users’ personal information with third parties in the following circumstances:

• With our professional and legal advisors;

• With third parties engaged in fraud prevention and detection;

• With law enforcement or other governmental authorities, in response to a lawful request or court order;

• In the event that we are involved in a merger or sale of any business assets, the personal information of our users may be disclosed to a potential buyer. In this event, we will make reasonable attempts to ensure the buyer will be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy;

• Otherwise where we have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted to do so.

We also disclose aggregate data, which does not identify any user personally, including to third parties working in media, consumer research and the car industry (for example, as analysis of popular cars in a given year).

Storage and Deletion

Our sites are hosted by AWS, which has servers based around the world, and we may use other international service providers. Consequently, your personal information will be processed in countries outside of Europe, including in countries where you have fewer legal rights in respect of your data than you do under local law. Where we transfer personal information outside the European Economic Area we will, as required by applicable law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected by appropriate safeguards, including by using the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Privacy Shield. Please contact us if you would like more information about these safeguards.

If you would like to delete your account with Rightcharge, please contact us using the details below. Please note, however, that if you delete your account we may retain some of your details (for example if you have made a complaint about our sites), for as long as is necessary to protect us from a legal claim.
