Contacting you

We’ll contact you by the method we’ve agreed with you.

Marketing information

We might send you marketing information we think you’d be interested in, about CORGI HomePlan, our partners or other companies in the Hometree Group. We’ll only do this when we have a legal justification for doing so. The information could be by email, letter, phone, or SMS. If you’ve opted out of receiving direct marketing from us, we won’t send you any. If you choose to be contacted, we might use your personal information to tell you about exciting new products and services from CORGI HomePlan, our partners or other companies in the Hometree Group. We might also use any personal data you’ve shared with us to show you digital adverts on social media, search engine results pages, or other websites. If you want to change your marketing preferences, you can let us know by calling us. If you opt out of receiving marketing from us, we might share your personal data, including your updated preferences, with third parties, such as our marketing agencies. This is to make sure you don’t receive any marketing from those third parties.

We’ll delete your details if you ask us to, but we’ll keep a record of your contact details (name, address and email) on our “Do not contact” register to make sure we don’t contact you in future.

If you take part in any of our “Refer a friend” offers, you agree that you’ll only contact anyone who’s interested in hearing about our services and wants to benefit from the offer. We won’t contact anyone you’ve sent a referral offer to unless they contact us.

If you decide to leave us, we might market our products and services for up to one year after you’ve left.

You can update your preferences or opt out of this at any time by clicking unsubscribe on any emails we send or by calling us.

4.3 Disclosing your personal information

We may allow the following types of organisations to use personal information we hold about you for the purposes set out in section 7 below, including:

• Service providers who provide engineering services, industry data collection and aggregation, IT and system administration services

Our third parties who only process data on our behalf won’t use your personal data for their own purposes and we only permit them to use it in accordance with our instructions and the law.

Disclosing information outside the EU

Sometimes the organisations listed above may be outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so we may pass your personal information to countries that do not have the same standards or protection for personal information as the UK. If we, our agents or our service providers do this, we’ll always make sure that these organisations adequately secure your personal information.

Appropriate service or additional needs

If we believe that you (or a member of your household) need extra care (for example, because of your age, health, disability or financial circumstances) and we have your explicit consent to do so, we may record and share this information with trade professionals (those who carry out repairs and servicing) to allow us to provide the appropriate level of service.

4.4 Protecting your personal information

We follow strict security procedures to protect your personal information. This includes following certain guidelines (for example, checking your identity when you phone us).

We strongly recommend that you do not disclose any CORGI HomePlan login details (where we have supplied these to you) to anyone.

From time to time, our website may provide hypertext links to sites which are created by individuals and companies outside of CORGI HomePlan. We do this if the site is relevant to the topic you’re reading about. Whilst we always try to check that the content of these sites is suitable, we cannot take any responsibility for the practices of the companies who publish the sites that we link to, or the accuracy or relevance of the content on them.

4.5 How long we’ll keep your personal information

When deciding on how long to retain your personal information for, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal requirements.

We keep your personal information:

• for as long as you have an account with us or use our Service (including if you enter a prize draw, competition, or other promotion) in order to meet our contractual obligations to you, and
• for up to seven years after that to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements, identify any issues, and resolve any legal proceedings.

We may also retain aggregate information beyond this time for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our services. You cannot be identified from aggregate information retained or used for these purposes.

You have various rights in relation to your personal information. These rights are as follows:

• Object to processing or restrict processing of your personal information: you may object to our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Request the transfer of your personal information: to provide you, or a third party you have chosen, with your personal information.
• Withdraw consent where we’re relying on consent to process your personal information: if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We’ll advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
