You have control over what data we collect. When asked to provide personal data, you may decline. However, if you choose not to provide data that is necessary to provide a good or service, we may not be able to provide that good or service.

The type and amount of data we collect varies in function of your relationship with us.

Why we process your information

There are several grounds on which we may collect and use your data, depending on your relationship with us.

Because you have agreed. Where possible, we collect information about you with your consent. This is the case, for instance, when you fill in paper account opening forms and choose to provide us with your information.

Because we need it to execute or take steps to enter into a contract with you. If you are one of our customers, we collect or use your personal data because it is necessary for the performance of a contract you are a party to, for instance to deliver goods you have ordered. We may also collect your information because you requested us to take steps prior to entering into a contract with us, for instance when you ask us to give you a quote.

Because it is in our legitimate interest. We also sometimes process your information in pursuit of our legitimate interests to:

carry out direct marketing activities and send you communications in that regard;
improve our business and operate it efficiently;
prevent fraud; and
ensure general safety and security.

When we process your information on that basis, we always make sure that we balance our interest in having the information with your rights and reasonable expectations.

Because we need it to comply with the law. In some very rare cases, we will need to retain your information because we are compelled to do so by law.

How we share your data

We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any good or service you have purchased. We may also share your details with suppliers or vendors we hire to carry out certain tasks on our behalf, and to exercise or defend our legal rights and fulfil our legal obligations.

Payment. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.

Sale data. We sometimes share sell out data with our suppliers to assist them in production planning.

Credit checks. If you apply for a credit account, we will share your data with credit reference agencies, who will keep a record of your application and share information with other businesses. As part of this process, those credit reference agencies will search your business and personal credit records and those of persons financially linked to you. You can obtain more information on how these agencies process your data by referring to their Privacy Policy, which will be displayed on their website.

When you apply for a credit account, you warrant that you have sought and obtained consent from persons financially linked to you for their information to be provided as part of the credit search. If your application is successful, we will let credit agencies know of any change of address, payments made, account balance, defaults on payment, late payments, disputes, or debts.

necessary to protect our customers, for example to prevent fraud.

How long we keep your information

ALL LED retains personal data for as long as necessary to provide you with the goods and services you have requested, to operate our business, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements. How long we keep data for depends on what it is used for, so retention periods will vary for different types of data.

Find out how we determine how long we keep information for.

The criteria below are good indicators of how we decide how long to keep data for:

How long is the personal data needed to provide the goods and services and operate our business? This includes such things as maintaining good business and financial records. This is the general rule that establishes the baseline for most data retention periods.
Is ALL LED subject to a legal, contractual or similar obligation to retain the data? This includes cases where the law prescribes we should keep information for a given period of time, or where data must be preserved during an investigation, for current or potential litigation or contractual purposes. Some data must also be kept for audit purposes.
Are customers enabled to update the preferences relating to the handling of their personal data at any time via their ALL LED online account? If not, a shorter data retention time will generally be adopted.
Have you provided consent for a longer retention period? If so, we will retain data in accordance with your consent.
Transfers abroad
In some cases, we may need to transfer your information outside of the European Economic Area because we (or a third party or vendor we use) store it on systems that are hosted abroad, or because we need to share it with companies that are not situated in the European Economic Area.
Where this is the case, we will always ensure that your information is safe and only sent to organisations providing adequate safeguards, such as:
Organisations established in countries providing adequate provisions to safeguard your personal information;
Organisations who are contractually bound to protect your information;
Organisations who have obtained Privacy Shield certification.
We may also transfer your data abroad if we have a legal obligation to do so.
