We may provide our manufacturer partners and our advertisers with aggregate information about Website users. We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.

How do we use your personal information?

We use your personal information in connection with our business activities. In particular, we may use your personal information in the following ways:

• to respond to queries from you regarding the possible purchase of goods or services, including looking at your searches and history on our Websites prior to an enquiry and combining the data held on our systems with your activity on our Websites and your Google ID;

• to obtain feedback from you regarding us and the manufacturer of your vehicle;
• to provide you with information regarding other services and products that are available to you from us or third parties, including follow up calls, SMS and / or email to establish your interest in any such products and, where we have targeting cookie consent, driving or supressing targeted online advertising;
• to provide you with reminders regarding your vehicle including, for example, when your vehicle is due to have a service or MOT undertaken or when your warranty on your vehicle is ending;
• to contact you if there is a recall outstanding on your vehicle;
• to remind you when we have identified work that may be needed on your vehicle;
• to contact you when you may be in a position to change your vehicle, including when your finance agreement is due for renewal or your Motability agreement is coming to an end. In some cases, we will be asked to contact you by a vehicle manufacturer or finance company or by Motability;
• to offer assistance with your transactions with us where you have partially, but not fully, completed an online transaction, booking or enquiry (i.e. you have provided your details or logged in to your "My Car" account, or where you have consented to targeting cookies, have clicked on a page on our Website originating from a link sent to you, but have not completed a reservation or a purchase or an appointment booking).

If you enquire about a potential vehicle purchase, lease or hire of a vehicle and/or any goods or services, we will use your information to contact you for up to 3 months about that potential purchase, lease or hire (and target advertising to you where you have accepted targeting cookies) and, in the case of potential vehicles, will ask you to agree for us to carry out a soft credit search (using an external credit reference agency) to enable us to provide you with finance quotes at a rate that matches your credit history. We may then provide your details and credit score to up to 3 lenders if you wish to apply for finance for your purchase. If you do not receive a finance offer, we will discuss with you passing your details (with your consent) to Evolution Funding Limited who will assist us with locating finance options for you to consider.

If you go ahead and purchase, lease or hire a vehicle and/or any goods or services from us we will use your information in various other ways, details of which are provided to you at the time of your purchase, lease or hire. These include:

• contacting you to obtain feedback on your purchase or other services provided;
• contacting you in the future with MOT and service reminders or details of any recalls on your vehicle or a reminder that a warranty on your vehicle is expiring;
• contacting you in the future if you may be in a position to change your vehicle;
• suppressing targeted advertising to you.

If you apply for Vertu Pay in relation to payment of a service or repair invoice, we will ask you to agree for us to conduct a soft credit search (using an external credit reference agency) and will make our decision to provide credit to you on the basis of this score (and other factors).

If you have a "My Car" account, we will use the information contained within it to contact you regarding vehicles you have expressed an interest in, or similar vehicles.

All of the above are examples of where we believe that we have a legitimate interest in using your data (apart from specific consents referenced).

In accordance with your preferences and cookie consents, we may also use your personal information to provide you with additional information about vehicles, services, promotions and offers that may be of interest to you, which may be based on data held about you. The preferences set within your "My Car" account will apply only to communications sent using that account information and, if you are also a customer of the Vertu Group, you will have separately stored preferences in that capacity. We do not match the information stored in a "My Car" account with our customer records.

The section below entitled "What choices do I have?" explains how you can change whether to receive information from us that is based on consent/preferences. Please note that, even if you choose not to receive this information, we may continue to use your personal information in the ways described above and below.

Your personal information may also be used by us, our employees, contractors or agents, and disclosed to third parties, in order to comply with any legal obligation (including in connection with a court order), or in order to enforce or apply the terms of any agreements we have with or otherwise concerning you (including agreements between you and us (or one or more Vertu entity), to investigate or prevent suspected crime or fraud, or to protect our rights, property or safety or those of our customers, employees or other third parties.

In addition, where permitted by law, we may combine the information we hold with information about you or your interests, socio-economic and socio-demographic status, online identifiers and current contact details collected by third parties such as marketing agencies and from public sources.

How do we make decisions using your data?

We will use your information to carry out automated decision-making and profiling in some circumstances. For example, service and MOT reminders will be automatically sent where relevant based on the vehicle and maintenance information we hold. We will also select customers for marketing campaigns and offers based on factors such as age of vehicle, type of vehicle finance held and date since last vehicle purchase as well as previous responses to marketing campaigns and Website activity.

Where you enquire about a vehicle, unless you are purchasing on a fixed rate offer, we will ask for consent to carry out a soft credit search using a third party credit reference agency to obtain a credit score for you. If you agree, this credit score will determine the rate at which we offer vehicle finance to you based on a matrix agreed with the relevant finance company from time to time. We will not be able to alter this rate. If you do not agree to a soft credit search, we will offer you vehicle finance using an average finance rate, or you can always purchase a vehicle from us using cash.

When you enquire about Vertu Pay we will ask for consent to carry out a soft credit search using a third party credit reference agency to obtain a credit score for you. This credit score will be used to determine our decision to provide credit to you with scores below a certain level leading to an automatic decline.

We can provide you with the credit score we have obtained for you on request, although this will only be visible to certain colleagues. You will be able to challenge your credit score with the credit reference agency if you believe it is inaccurate.

We may use your offline and online history to drive or suppress targeted online advertising, in accordance with our cookie policy.

How long do we keep your personal information?

We will not retain information longer than we need to. In general, if you enquire (in person or by creating a "My Car" account) but do not purchase a vehicle from us, we will keep your information for 2 years to enable us to deal with future enquiries more effectively and to deal with any concerns regarding the enquiry process. If you purchase a vehicle from us, or have servicing or repair work carried out, or purchase a part from us, we will keep your information (and your "My Car" account will remain live) for 7 years from your last transaction with us. We may keep details of a vehicle for longer than that but without it being attached to your information.
