This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal data you provide and/or we collect via your use of our website (and mobile application) together with all services accessed through them (‘Online Facilities’), what we may do with that personal data and your rights.

‘Personal data’ is defined in the GDPR and is essentially information from which an individual person can be identified. By giving your informed consent and by submitting information and/or continuing to use the Online Facilities, you signify your consent to us using your personal data in accordance with the below.

We may need to change the terms of this Policy from time to time and changes will be posted on this page (and/or where appropriate, otherwise notified to you). Your continued use of the Online Facilities will be deemed to be acceptance of amendments we make. This Policy was last updated on 25/05/2018.

How we use your personal data:

Use of services accessed through the Online Facilities may require you to provide specific types of information.

We request that the information you provide is as accurate as possible as this allows us to secure your privacy in relation to registered services by differentiating you from others. Periodically we may send you an email asking you to “Update your Details” so that we are sure we have your correct details.

We use information about you for the following purposes:

1. To perform the services you have requested, such as sending you our newsletters (see ‘Marketing information’ below). The type of information we may require and use might include, for example, your name, address, email address, telephone number and card or other payment details in relation to goods, services or content access you purchase from us through the Online Facilities or otherwise. We will NEVER share your financial information with other third parties for any reason other than processing transaction(s), fraud and credit risk protection, unless we have your consent.
2. To enable you to participate in chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups (if any, as we may make available for that purpose from time to time) on the Online Facilities on which you can post information and, where we deem necessary, to respond to any such posts you make. Information you post in these areas may become public information and must always comply with our Terms of Use(in relation to the website) and EULA  (in relation to the APP).
3. To alert you to other information, including offers and promotions, relating to us and/or commercial partners (where you have agreed to this). See below heading ‘Marketing Information’ for more information about this. For example, such information may include newsletters, offers, promotions, occasional surveys and other communications of potential interest from us.
4. To carry out market research so that we can improve the products and services we offer. Your feedback is valued and helps to shape the products, services and content access we offer or make available. You will have to opt-in (below) to receiving or participating in our surveys at any time.
5. To manage and improve the Online Facilities and allow you to use the features offered by the Online Facilities. Information we use for this purpose may include (for example) that about your computer and, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type. You will have to opt-in (below) should you agree this purpose.

We may also supplement the information that you provide with other information that we obtain from our dealings with you or which we receive from other organisations such as our commercial partners, and group companies, so that we are sure that we hold accurate information.

In addition, we reserve the right to perform statistical analysis of user behaviour and characteristics to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the Online Facilities and to ascertain the number of users that have visited particular web pages. We also keep track of what you do with our newsletters when you receive them for trends and statistics and to evaluate the efficiency of our newsletter and information service. For example, whether you open, delete, or access links contained in the newsletter. We may provide aggregated and anonymised data (not identifying any individual) only from these analyses to third parties.

Marketing Information

We will only contact you by email, SMS, telephone about our products, services, promotions, if you have asked us to do so. Should you have changed your mind and would prefer us not to contact you, then you can opt out at any time.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide personally identifiable information to third-parties without your consent, except only as set out in the ‘Disclosing (Sharing) Your Information’ section below.

From time to time we and/or commercial partners (if you have agreed to receive their information when you provided your personal information) would like to contact you to tell you more about the offers, services, products and other initiatives available to you.

We and/or our commercial partners will only contact you if you have consented to this. However, if you are an existing customer (and have opted to receive communications) we may contact you about services, products and initiatives similar to those you have previously received or enquired about (unless you have chosen not to receive such communications).

If, at any time after registering, you would like to change your preference and opt-in or opt-out from receiving communications from us or third-parties you can do this at any time by emailing us on info@phantomtuning.co.uk or http://kent.phantomtuning.co.uk/consent-withdrawal/ and notifying us of your change in preference.
