Usage data

When you visit our websites, so-called usage data is temporarily stored on our web server for statistical purposes as a protocol in order to improve the quality of our websites. This data set consists of

the page from which the file was requested,
the name of the file,
the date and time of the query,
the amount of data transferred,
the access status (file transferred, file not found),
the description of the type of web browser used,
the IP address of the requesting computer.

We use this information to enable access to our website, to control and administer our systems and to improve the design of our websites. These data are stored anonymously. The creation of personal user profiles is thus excluded. Data about individuals or their individual behaviour is not collected.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that are stored on a visitor's computer or other device. They allow information to be stored for a certain period of time and to identify the visitor's computer or other device. You can set your browser or operating system controls so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. For further details on how we use cookies, please see our cookies policy.

Encryption

To protect your data from unwanted access, we use an encryption method on most pages. Your details are then transmitted from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using SHA2 265-bit SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) with RSA. You can recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol on the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line starts with https://.

No obligation to provide personal information

Unless otherwise stated above, the provision of personal data is neither required by law or contract nor necessary for conclusion of a contract and you are hence not obliged to provide such data. If you choose not to provide us with your personal information, we might not be able to respond to your request or provide you with the requested service and participating in an application procedure or in a particular event or protection might not be possible.

Your rights

Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data relating to you are processed and, if this is the case, to receive information about the personal data we hold about you.

Right to rectification and erasure: You have the right to have modify, correct or in general amend your personal information. Furthermore, you have the right to request the deletion of personal data concerning you if certain conditions are met (e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued).

Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if one of a number of conditions are met e.g. if you have objected to the processing, for the duration of any examination of our right to data processing or in the event that personal data are no longer required for processing purposes but must continue to be reserved for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

A restriction on the processing means that the data in question may only be processed - apart from being stored - with your consent or in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Right to data portability: If automated data processing is based on your consent or processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that take place at your request, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided and which concerns you in a structured, current and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided. You also have the right to request the direct transmission of this data by us to a third party if this is technically feasible.

Right of objection: If we process personal data for the protection of legitimate interests (as stated above), you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling reasons worthy of protection for further processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right of withdrawal: If the data processing is based on a consent provided, you can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. However, such withdrawal shall not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise the rights outlined above or in the event of open questions, please send your request to support@be-ev.co.uk. We will consider all such requests and provide our response within a reasonable period (and in any event within one month of your request unless we tell you we are entitled to a longer period under applicable law). Please note, however, that certain personal information may be exempt from such requests in certain circumstances, for example if we need to keep using the information to comply with our own legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If an exception applies, we will tell you this when responding to your request. We may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to any request you make.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

In addition, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the respective data protection authority in your jurisdiction, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates applicable data protection regulations. In particular, the complaint may be lodged with a supervisory authority in the UK or EU Member State of your place of residence, place of work or the place of alleged violation.

We may change this privacy policy in order to comply with applicable legal requirement. The current privacy policy can be found on our website or app and we therefore encourage you to regularly check it for any changes.
