How and why we use your personal data?
We want to give you the best possible customer and employee experience. One way to achieve that is to get the richest picture we can of who you are by combining the data we have about you.
We then use this data to offer you products and services that are most likely to interest you as a possible customer and also for entering into a potential contractual relationship with you.
The data privacy law allows this as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our customers and providing the highest levels of service.
Remember, if you choose not to share your personal data with us, or refuse certain contact permissions, we might not be able to provide some services you’ve asked for.
Here’s how we’ll use your personal data and why:
To send you communications required by law or which are necessary to inform you about our changes to the services we provide you. For example, updates to this Privacy Notice, product recall notices, and legally required information relating to your orders. These service messages will not include any promotional content and do not require prior consent when sent by email or text message. If we do not use your personal data for these purposes, we would be unable to comply with our legal obligations.
With your consent, we will use your personal data and preferences to keep you informed by email, web, text and telephone about relevant products and services including events, competitions and so on. Of course, you are free to opt out of hearing from us by any of these channels at any time
To build a personalized experience for you in your interactions with us both online and offline and to inform our business decisions. To do this we may combine data captured from across NXU, third parties and data from publicly-available lists.
To respond to your queries and complaints. Handling the information you sent enables us to respond. We may also keep a record of these to inform any future communication with us and to demonstrate how we communicated with you throughout. We do this on the basis of our contractual obligations to you, our legal obligations and our legitimate interests in providing you with the best service and understanding how we can improve our service based on your experience.
To develop, test and improve the systems, services and products we provide to you. We’ll do this on the basis of our legitimate business interests.
We will use your personal information for the purposes of providing our services which have been purchased by you, your employer or a third party. Your personal data will be provided to trusted partners and our affiliates who work on behalf of NXU in order to help us provide the service.
To comply with our contractual or legal obligations to share data with law enforcement.
To send you survey and feedback requests to help improve our services. These messages will not include any promotional content and do not require prior consent when sent by email or text message. We have a legitimate interest to do so as this helps make our products or services more relevant to you
To protect your interests (or someone else's interests) and you are not capable of giving your consent. For example, if you became seriously unwell or had an accident in our premises, we may need to provide a hospital with medical information we are aware of.

Personalized direct marketing
We want to send you information about products and services that are most relevant to your interests at particular times.
We will only ask whether you would like us to send you marketing messages when you tick the relevant boxes when you fill in a form or survey indicating your interest in receiving this information.
To help us form a better, overall understanding of you as a customer, we combine the data that we collect directly from you with data that we obtain from third parties to whom you have given your consent to pass that data onto us.
How we protect your personal data
We know how much data security matters to you. With this in mind we will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.
They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
How long will we keep your personal data?
Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. The length of time the data is retained is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which it was collected and our obligations under other laws.
If you have unsuccessfully applied for a position with us, we will only retain your personal information for 6 months following an unsuccessful application. This will include retaining information so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have conducted the recruitment exercise in a fair and transparent way.
At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymized, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.
Where your personal data may be processed
Sometimes we will need to share your personal data with third parties and suppliers outside of the US.
If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure your data receives the same protection as if it were being processed inside the US. For example, our contracts with third parties stipulate the standards they must follow at all times. If you wish for more information about these contracts, please contact our Legal Department.
Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Notice.
What are your rights over your data?
You have the right to request:
Access to the personal data we hold about you, free of charge in most cases.
The correction of your personal data when incorrect, out of date or incomplete.
The deletion of the data we hold about you, in specific circumstances; for example, when you withdraw consent or object, and we have no legitimate overriding interest, or once the purpose for which we hold the data has come to an end.
A computer file in a common format (CSV or similar) containing the personal data that you have previously provided to us, and the right to have your information transferred to another entity where this is technically possible.

We must then do so unless we believe we have a legitimate overriding reason to continue processing your personal data, such as administration of an extended warranty.
You have the right to stop the use of your personal data for direct marketing activity through all channels, or selected channels. We must always comply with your request.
To protect the confidentiality of your information, we will ask you to verify your identity before proceeding with any request you make under this Privacy Notice.
