For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.

Disclosures of your personal data 

Subject to the foregoing, Driverly uses your personally identifiable information in several ways. Driverly may share your personally identifiable information with service providers to help us with our business activities such as running and maintaining our applications, processing credit cards, email and digital marketing activities (including social media and display marketing), offering customer service, or operating a community forum.  These service providers are authorized to use your personally identifiable information only as necessary to provide these services to us.   

We may also share your personal information with:  

  • Our IT platform and systems providers.  

  • Analytical, Know Your Customer (KYC) and cyber security providers.  

  • Fraud prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud and money-laundering and to verify your identity.   

  • Third parties that carry out advertising services for us (but we won't share identifiable personal data with these third parties for their own marketing purposes unless you give us permission, and you can opt out).  

  • Credit reference agencies.  

  • Customer 'interface' providers (like the ones who manage our sites chat service). 

  • Anyone who you give us explicit permission to share it with.  

  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.  

We'll also share it to comply with the law, to enforce our Terms and Conditions, or to protect the rights, property or safety of us, our customers or others. 

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. 

  1. International transfers 

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:   

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or the European Commission.  

  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts (or SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or the European Commission, which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.   

 

Data security 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.  

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. 

 

How long will you use my personal data for? 

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.  

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. 

 

Your rights 

The way that we store and process data is compliant with the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and ePrivacy Directive 2002 (amended 2009). The Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

We always aim to comply both with the spirit as well as the letter of the law and to be responsible with your data. As well as keeping up-to-date with laws about data, we also aim to make sensible decisions based on common sense, listening to users’ views and industry best practices. 

Under the UK Data Protection Act 2018, you have various rights in relation to your own data (i.e. where you are the ‘data subject’), which are summarised below: 

 

  1. Right of Access - You have the right to request a copy of all the personal information that we have about you. Please note that you can directly access the data we hold about you by visiting our email alert page. 

  1. Right to Rectification - You have the right to ask us to update information that we hold about you where it is incorrect or incomplete. Please note that you can change your alerting preferences or unsubscribe at any time directly by visiting our email alert page. 

  1. Right to Erasure - You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, for example where processing is no longer necessary for the purposes for which the data were collected. 

  1. Right to Restriction of Processing - You can ask us to stop processing your data (i.e. we cannot make any further changes, delete, or share it). For example, this could be where you wish to challenge the accuracy of data or where you make use of your ‘Right to Object’. 

  1. Right to Data Portability - You are entitled to an electronic copy of the data that you provided to us as part of subscribing to the email alert service. 

  1. Right to Object - You can object to processing conducted under the ‘Legitimate Interest’ condition (as outlined in the section “Using your Data”) and we must then cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling grounds. 

  1. Right to withdraw consent - You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. 

  1. Automated decision-making and profiling - You have the right not to be subject to a decision that is based solely on automated processing (including profiling), which would have a significant or legal effect on you. You have the right to contact us to express your point of view and challenge the decision. 

You may exercise your Rights by contacting us at hello@driverly.ai.  

 

No fee usually required 

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. 

 

What we may need from you 

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. 

 

Time limit to respond 

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. 

 

Please note that there will be situations where exceptions apply under Data Protection law that we may rely on. We will tell you if we are unable to comply with your request, or how your request might impact you, when you contact us. 

 

How we update this Privacy Notice 

We may update this Privacy Notice at any time, in accordance with applicable legislative and regulatory requirements or our internal policies and processes. Service users may be notified of significant changes, for example via email communication.
