We may also collect certain technical information automatically when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and information about how you interact with our website.

3. How we use your information

We may use your personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries and requests for information;
  • prepare quotations and proposals;
  • process and fulfil orders;
  • arrange deliveries, installations and service visits;
  • provide customer support and after-sales services;
  • manage warranties and product-related enquiries;
  • communicate with you about your account, order or project;
  • administer and improve our website and services;
  • maintain the security and functionality of our website;
  • keep appropriate business and financial records;
  • comply with legal and regulatory obligations; and
  • where permitted, send you information about products, services, offers and news that may be relevant to you.

We will only use your personal information for purposes that are compatible with the reason it was collected or where otherwise permitted by law.

4. Our lawful basis for processing

Under the UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information. Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on one or more of the following:

Contract – where processing is necessary to provide products or services you have requested, fulfil an order or take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legitimate interests – where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This may include responding to enquiries, managing our customer relationships, improving our services and maintaining the security of our systems.

Legal obligation – where we are required to process information to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

Consent – where you have specifically given us permission to use your information for a particular purpose, such as certain forms of marketing or non-essential cookies.

The appropriate lawful basis depends on the particular processing activity.

5. Marketing communications

Where permitted by law, we may contact existing customers or individuals who have expressed an interest in our products and services with information about relevant products, services, offers or updates.

Where consent is required, we will only send marketing communications where you have provided the appropriate consent.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in our emails or by contacting us at hello@audioconcept.co.uk.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

6. Sharing your information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share personal information where necessary with trusted third parties who help us operate our business, provide products and services, or fulfil your requests. These may include:

  • payment providers;
  • delivery and logistics providers;
  • manufacturers and distributors where necessary to fulfil an order or warranty;
  • IT, website hosting and technical service providers;
  • professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers;
  • website analytics or marketing service providers, where applicable; and
  • government, regulatory or law enforcement authorities where we are legally required to do so.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate contractual and security arrangements are in place.

7. International transfers

Some of the service providers we use may process information outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that your information receives an appropriate level of protection in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

8. How long we keep your information

We will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet contractual, legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

The appropriate retention period will depend on the type of information and why we hold it. For example, information relating to purchases may need to be retained for longer than information relating to a general website enquiry.

When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.

9. How we protect your information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no transmission of information over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, you provide information to us at your own risk.
