Consent
If you’ve opted-in to receive information and offers relating to E1 and our commercial partners (for example by ticking a box on one of our websites or apps), then we’ll provide this information to you by email, text or phone.

Signing up to our mailing list

If you ask to be added to our mailing list, we may process your personal data on the basis of consent you give when you subscribe, and we will keep you updated with information on news, events, and updates unless you later ask to be removed from that list (for example, by clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of emails you receive from us). We use a third-party email marketing service provider to manage our newsletter and email lists and to send emails to our subscribers.

Buying products from us

If we have a contract with you, we may also process your personal data in response to your enquiries insofar as it is necessary for us to perform our contractual obligations. In particular, in order to provide you with products you order from us, we will process your personal data, including your name, contact and postal details, financial and transaction information, and such other personal data as you may include within your order.

When ordering products or services on the Website, you may also be asked to provide a credit card number or other payment-related information. All payment information is securely processed and handled by our payment partners. To place an order, some of the information you are asked to provide is required (e.g. registering an account) and some is voluntary. If you do not provide the necessary data when requested, you will not be able to complete the transaction.

When responding to your queries, refund requests and complaints, handling your personal data enables us to respond. We may also keep a record of these to inform any future communication with us and to demonstrate how we communicated with you throughout. We do this on the basis of our contractual obligations to you, our legal obligations and our legitimate interests in providing you with the best service.

We use e-commerce software called Shopify, which will also set cookies whilst you are using our Website. These cookies are essential to the functioning of the Website. For more detailed information about the cookies we use and their purpose, please see our Cookie Notice.

Data sharing

We keep your information confidential but may disclose it to our personnel, suppliers, or subcontractors when it is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. However, this is on the basis that they do not make independent use of the information and have agreed to safeguard your information.

Examples of the type of third parties we work with are: 

- IT companies who support our website and other business systems;

- Operational companies such as delivery couriers to contact you about your order delivery & occasionally service review messages;

- Direct marketing companies who help us manage our electronic communications with you;

- Google or Facebook to show you products that might interest you while you’re browsing the internet. This is based on either your marketing consent or your acceptance of cookies on our Website.

In addition, we may disclose your information to the extent that we are required to do so by law (which may include to government bodies and law enforcement agencies); in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings; and in order to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention or to our professional advisers).

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, you will be notified via email, account message, and/or a prominent notice on our Website of any change in ownership or uses of this information, as well as any choices you may have regarding this information.

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties in order to enforce or apply the terms of agreements between us, to investigate potential breaches, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

If you send us objectionable content or behave in a disruptive manner when using our Website, we may process any personal information that you have submitted to us, including in your personal messages, to respond to and stop such behaviour. Where we reasonably believe that you are or may be in breach of the law (i.e., the content you share on the Website amounts to harassment or is defamatory), we may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties about the content, such as your email or internet provider or law enforcement agencies.

Consumer control & opt-out options

If you do not wish to receive promotional or other marketing material from us or third parties, then you can opt-out by clicking on the unsubscribe link in those emails or contacting us at media@e1series.com at any time.

Your rights in relation to your personal data that we process

You have a number of rights in relation to the way we process personal data about you. Where an individual makes a data subject rights request in accordance with data protection laws, we aim to comply without undue delay and within one month at the latest. Those data subject rights include the right to make the following requests:

- To ask for confirmation and information about the personal data that we process about you, including a copy of data we are processing about you;

- To have inaccuracies corrected or incomplete personal data made complete;

- To ask us to restrict, stop processing, or to delete your personal data;

- To request a machine-readable copy of your personal data which you can use with another service provider. Where it is technically feasible, you can ask us to send this information directly to another provider if you prefer;

- To not be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling; and

- To make a complaint to the data protection supervisory authority. In the UK, you may contact the ICO at: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/.

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

Checking your identity

To protect the confidentiality of your information, we will ask you to verify your identity before proceeding with any request you make under this Privacy Notice. 

To make a request in relation to any of the aforementioned rights or generally about how we process your personal data, please email us at media@e1series.com.

Data retention

In accordance with data protection laws and good commercial practice, we do not retain data in a form that permits identification of the person(s) to whom it relates for any longer than is necessary. Once the purpose for which information has been collected has been fulfilled, we will either permanently delete your personal information or remove all identifiers within it so that it is no longer personal data. We may use such anonymised data for research and/or business analysis purposes.

Children

We do not knowingly use the Website to solicit data from or to market to children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information or may be receiving communications from us or otherwise interacting with our Website without the consent of a parent or guardian, we ask that this be brought to our immediate attention. We will make it our priority to address this situation and delete information relating to a child as soon as practicable. In such an event, please contact us at media@e1series.com. 

Security of data

We will take commercially reasonable, appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk that could be encountered via the use of our Services, taking into account the likelihood and severity those risks might pose to the rights and freedoms of our Website visitors. In particular, we will take precautions to protect against the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration and unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, the personal information transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed by us.

Please be aware that while we make the security of our Website and your personal information a high priority and devote considerable time and resources to maintain robust IT security, no security system can prevent all security breaches. When you choose to share your personal information with us, you accept the aforesaid and provide your information at your own risk.

Changes to this Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new version on our Website or sending you an email. You are advised to consult this Privacy Notice webpage regularly for any changes.
