Privacy Policy

All Car Leasing and the Eurocar Group Limited take personal data and how we acquire it, how we store it and the security of that data very seriously. As such we have put numerous steps in place to treat it with care and have provided this document to provide transparency on how we work towards this goal with your data.

From the onset, we train every single member of staff on the importance of data consent and security so that it’s a core part of how we run our business. As part of that training we educate and hold regular refresher courses on data and our requirements to be GDPR compliant. We have broken this document down to make it easier to read.

We will never share your data with anyone other than with selected GDPR compliant finance companies and dealerships to facilitate an order. Your details will not be shared with any unauthorised third parties for marketing purposes, ever. We will also seek your consent on more than one occasion at various stages of an order to ensure you are aware of what we need, why we need it and for you to give or refuse consent if you choose to.

Please note that this privacy policy applies to the All Car Leasing website (www.allcarleasing.co.uk) only and we are not responsible for, nor do we have any control over data that is gathered or submitted to third parties outside of our services. It is the customer's right to request personal information be removed from funders and/or dealer databases. This may include, but is not limited to, hyperlinks to external websites.

If you have any questions in regards how we handle your data then you can contact our data protection officer at:

What is the GDPR?

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and it is a law introduced on the 25th of May 2018 which helps to protect people and businesses’ personal data offline and online by regulating the businesses and peoples that use and hold that data. The GDPR aims primarily to give guidance to citizens and residents over their personal data and how organisations handle and collect it. It will simplify the regulatory environment for international businesses by unifying the regulation within the EU. 

The GDPR is EU legislation and has been adopted in the UK under the Data Protection Act of 2018.

What is ‘personal data’?

Personal data refers to information which could be used to identify an individual. For example, a name or an address can be used to identify.

Your personal data is essential for us to provide a service. Without it we simply can not do our job.

Do you need this data? – How/why we share it

The finance partners will be unable to form a finance decision without a proposal.

We will only share your information when:

• You have given your consent

• It is essential for us to provide the service

• In order to seek professional advice (i.e legal)

• To help investigate potential criminal behaviour

• The law requires us to share it

• Regulators and/or a government body requires the information

• Duty bound as a public service to share it

Consent is a legal basis and should not be relied upon as part of financial decisions.

From time to time, we may need to share your information with third parties which falls in the same realm as “it is essential for us to provide the service”. An example of such a situation is disclosing your address to the delivery company who are transporting your vehicle. These third parties may not necessarily be data controllers or data protection officers but will work for a company bound by the GDPR.

A list of data controllers your information may be shared with are:

• Credit reference agencies

• The finance provider

• The supplying dealer

• Claims handling and fraud agencies

• Insurance companies

How is the information used?

• Your personal data may be used to progress the enquiry further and to process your order. It will never be used for any other reason. Your personal data may be passed on to the finance company only when consent is given (which can in the future at any time be withdrawn) and only when if you agree to proceed with a finance company.

• If you have consented and have ordered a vehicle then your data may be used for in-life contract services such as service reminders, extension reminders, and end of contract notifications, etc.

• Your data may be used for marketing purposes if you have opted in or receive them and given explicit consent.

• It is a legal requirement for All Car Leasing to maintain the accuracy of the data stored and as such you may be contacted to confirm your details after a reasonable amount of time.

What personal data does All Car Leasing gather?

Enquiry

If a customer is making an enquiry we will collect basic information to process the enquiry such as name and contact details.

Facebook Advertising

From time to time, we may use Facebook to create adverts. As it's not our own platform under our control we do not divulge any personal information nor we do we facilitate financial proposals on the network. Instead we instruct customers to leave details for us to process the enquiry.

Facebook is a third party platform and any questions regarding Facebook itself or how they treat your data please get in touch with Facebook themselves. We do not control any aspect of Facebook nor the places where our advert may or may not appear. Use of Facebook is at the user's risk.

Lead forms

From time to time we may use Facebook lead forms to gather details. Our privacy policy (this document) will be clearly visible and reachable on the form and the filling of the form is completely optional and voluntary and therefore we assume consent is given at point of submission.

Finance Application

If a customer wishes to proceed with an order then All Car Leasing may collect personal information to aid with a financial application which may include full name, address history, some basic financial information for a credit check.

The finance proposal form will once again ask for consent and we will never assume consent to progress from one stage to another.

How is your data stored

Digital

Our digital information is stored locally and in data centres around the globe with multiple factor security through encrypted connections at each centre.

Any access to our data is always through an SSL/TSL (Secure sockets layer/transport layer security) and access to data is only given to authorised members of staff under the supervision and always behind a user name and password which is changed every month. (This also implies that salesforce and MailChimp etc, change their password monthly too.)

Access is reviewed once a month by a data controller. This review includes checking for any redundant and unused users and a check for any unusual activity. 

Physical

We store personal data of customers who have ordered vehicle(s) and entered into a contract with us and a finance company. We keep this data for in-life contract purposes and to fulfil our legal obligations to help prevent crimes such as fraud.

All of our records are deleted automatically after 6 years from the date of contract termination including when applicable extensions providing the information being given to us and the information is no longer needed. This data is deleted via a secure computer for digital and shredded on site at the same time. 

If the information is still needed the information will continue to be kept until they become unnecessary for 6 years. You will be notified via the email we have on record when this is the case. 

Our physical records are kept in a secured room behind a lock and key which is only openable accessible by a senior member of staff (a data controller) under supervision.

Consent

All Car Leasing may gather two types of personal data:

• Personal data for marketing purposes;

• Personal data in order to process an enquiry through to an order.

All of our personal data will be gathered directly from you and will never be acquired any other way.

At every stage the customer can review and decide on whether to give consent for us to use this information.

All Car Leasing will never use your data without consent and will never use the data for any other reason than to process the request.
