Policy Change / Update – nothing lasts forever!
We might change this policy from time to time to keep up with changes to the law for example. We will notify you as and when this happens. It could be in the form of a letter, an email, a website notice, or notification when you log onto your account. If you don’t agree with these updates, as and when they happen, please notify us clearly stating the reason(s) why at this address sharon.chirnside@electratrucks.com.

What data do we collect from you?
Not a lot. Firstly, we will always be as transparent as possible with you. All personal data that we collect and use is the minimum amount that we require in order to satisfy the task at hand. It could be payroll data – to ensure employees get paid, customer data – in order to fulfil contractual obligations, a customer feedback questionnaire or a testimonial that you have submitted.
Any other information?
We might collect data from a third party, but only if you have given those parties permission to share it with others – or it comes from a publicly accessible source e.g. social media such as Linkedin or Facebook.
IP addresses, account login details and times, email addresses and contact telephone numbers. Telephone calls to and from our head office in Skelmersdale are voice recorded for quality, training and monitoring purposes.
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are routinely used at our head office and workshop facilities, for security and health and safety purposes to ensure the wellbeing of our employees, contractors and visitors. The images collected and recorded are stored for up to 30 days and then overwritten.
We have the following obligations under GDPR & PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation 2003) – Only using the data to fulfil our contracted services and following your written instructions. If we’re legally obliged
to process your data in any other way we will let you know (so long as the law allows us to).
