What information do we collect?

We collect information so that we can provide the best possible experience when you utilise our Services.  Much of what you likely consider personal data is collected directly from you when you:

(1) Create an account or purchase any of our Services (eg: billing information, including
name, address, credit card number);
(2)  Request assistance from our customer sales and service team (eg: name, phone number,
driving licence);
(3) Complete contact forms or request newsletters or other information from us (eg: email); or
(4) participate in contests and surveys, apply for a job, or otherwise participate in activities we promote that might require information about you.  

However, we also collect additional information when delivering our Services to you to ensure necessary and optimal performance.  These methods of collection may not be as obvious to you, so we wanted to highlight and explain below a bit more about what these might be (as they vary from time to time) and how they work:

Account related information

Is collected in association with your use of our Services, such as account number, purchases, when products renew or expire, information requests, and customer service requests and notes or details explaining what you asked for and how we responded.

Cookies and similar technologies 

On our websites allows us to track your browsing behaviour, links clicked, items purchased, your device type, and to collect various data, including analytics, about how you use and interact with our Services. This allows us to provide you with more relevant product offerings, a better experience on our sites and to collect, analyse and improve the performance of our Services. We may also collect your location (IP address) so that we can personalise our Services. For additional information, and to learn how to manage the technologies we utilise, please visit our Cookie Policy

Data about Usage of Services  

Is automatically collected when you use and interact with our Services, including metadata, log files, cookie/device IDs and location information. This information includes specific data about your interactions with the features, content and links (including those of third-parties, such as video and voice media plugins) contained within the

Services, Internet Protocol

(IP) address, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data, information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and error data, and some of this data collected might be capable of and be used to approximate your location. 

Supplemented Data

May be received about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data, in which case we may combine this data with information we already have about you so that we can update, expand and analyse the accuracy of our records, identify new customers, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you.  If you provide us personal information about others, or if others give us your information, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.

How we utilise information.

We strongly believe in both minimising the data we collect and limiting its use and purpose to only that

(1) for which we have been given permission, 
(2) as necessary to deliver the Services you purchase or interact with, or 
(3) as we might be required or permitted for legal compliance or other lawful purposes. These uses
include:

Delivering, improving, updating and enhancing the Services we provide to you.  
We collect various information relating to your purchase, use and/or interactions with our Services. We utilise this information to:

• Improve and optimise the operation and performance of our Services (again, including our websites)
• Diagnose problems with and identify any security risks, errors, or needed enhancements to the Services
• Detect and prevent fraud and abuse of our Services and systems
• Collecting aggregate statistics about use of the Services
• Understand and analyse how you use our Services and what products and services are most relevant to you.

Often, much of the data collected is aggregated or statistical data about how individuals use our Services, and is not linked to any personal data, but to the extent it is itself personal data, or is linked or linkable to personal data, we treat it accordingly.
 
Sharing with trusted third parties.

We may share your personal data with affiliated companies,
with third parties with which we have partnered to allow you to integrate their
services into our own Services, and with trusted third party service providers
as necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, such as:

• Processing credit /debit card payments
• Processing Financial loan agreements
• Processing of manufacturer warranties
• Conducting contests or surveys
• Communicating with you, such as by way email or survey delivery
• Customer relationship management.

We only share your personal data as necessary for any third party to provide the services as requested or as needed on our behalf. These third parties (and any subcontractors) are subject to strict data processing terms and conditions and are prohibited from utilising, sharing or retaining
your personal data for any purpose other than as they have been specifically contracted for (or without your consent).

Communicating with you.

We may contact you directly or through a third party service provider regarding products or services you have signed up or purchased from us, such as necessary to deliver transactional or service related communications. We may also contact you with offers for additional services we think you’ll find valuable if you give us consent or where allowed based upon legitimate interests. You don’t need to provide consent as a condition to purchase our goods or services. These contacts may include:

• Email
• Text (SMS) messages
• Telephone calls

If we collect information from you in connection with a co-branded offer, it will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting the information and whose privacy policy applies. In addition, it will describe any choice options you have in regards to the use and/or sharing of your personal data with a co-branded partner, as well as how to exercise those If you believe that anyone has provided us with your personal information and you would like to request that it be removed from our database,
please contact us at enquires@chelmsford-city-motorcycles.co.uk

Transfer of personal data abroad. 

If you utilise our Services from a country other than the country where our servers are located,your communications with us may result in transferring your personal data across international borders. In these cases, your personal data is handled according to this Privacy Policy.

Compliance with legal, regulatory and law enforcement requests. 

We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process, to protect our property and rights or the property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.

To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we will take reasonable steps to notify you in the event that we are required to provide your personal information to third parties as part of legal process. 

How you can access, update or delete your data.

To easily access, view, update, delete or port your personal data (where available), or to update your subscription preferences, please contact enquiries@chelmsford-city-motorcycles.co.uk  If you make a request to delete your personal data and that data is necessary for the products or services you have purchased, the request will be honoured only to the extent it is no longer necessary for any Services
purchased or required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping requirements.
 
How we secure, store and retain your data.

We follow generally accepted standards to store and protect the personal data we collect, both during transmission and once received and stored, including utilisation of encryption where propriate.
