4. How We Use Your Information

We may use your personal information to:

  • Manage our business and customer records
  • Meet accounting, tax and other legal obligations
  • Protect our business and prevent or resolve disputes
  • Maintain and improve our website and services

We only use personal information where we have an appropriate lawful basis for doing so.

5. Our Lawful Bases for Using Your Information

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following lawful bases:

Contract – where using your information is necessary to provide a repair, quotation or other service you have requested, or to take steps at your request before providing that service.

Legal obligation – where we need to keep or use information to comply with legal requirements, including accounting and tax obligations.

Legitimate interests – where it is reasonably necessary for the operation and protection of our business, for example maintaining appropriate service records, dealing with customer queries or disputes and improving our services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the necessity of the processing and its potential effect on your privacy.

6. Payments

Card payments may be processed using third-party payment providers, including:

  • myPOS
  • Stripe
  • Zettle by PayPal

These providers may process personal and payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies and security procedures.

ZED Appliances does not normally receive or store your complete payment card details when payments are processed securely by these payment providers.

7. Who We May Share Your Information With

We do not sell your personal information.

Where necessary to operate our business or provide our services, information may be processed or shared with trusted service providers, including providers used for:

  • Job and appointment management, including ServiceMate
  • Email and business communications, including Microsoft services
  • WhatsApp communications
  • Accounting and financial records, including FreeAgent
  • Payment processing, including myPOS, Stripe and Zettle/PayPal
  • Website hosting, maintenance, security and analytics
  • Professional advisers such as our accountant, where necessary

We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Some technology providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on the relevant provider and applicable safeguards for international data transfers.

8. How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting and tax requirements and dealing with possible queries or disputes relating to work carried out.

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

Financial and transaction records may be retained for the periods required by applicable tax and accounting law.

When information is no longer required, we will delete it or dispose of it securely where reasonably practicable.

9. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

We also use established third-party service providers to help operate our business. Those providers maintain their own technical and organisational security measures for the services they provide.

No method of storing or transmitting information can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law gives you rights over your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances
  • Ask us to restrict how your information is used in certain circumstances
  • Object to certain uses of your information
  • Receive certain information in a portable format where applicable
  • Withdraw consent where we are relying on consent

Not all rights apply in every circumstance, and some information may need to be retained where we have a legal or legitimate reason to do so.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions and, where applicable, analytics and performance measurement.

Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, these should only be used after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
