Overview

 

Maintaining the security of your data is a priority at Transition, and we are committed to respecting your privacy rights.  We pledge to handle your data fairly and legally, at all times being transparent about what data we collect about you and how we use it.

This policy provides you with information about:
 

  • how we use your data;

  • what personal data we collect;

  • how we ensure your privacy is maintained; and

  • your legal rights relating to your personal data.

How we use your data

General

Transition (and trusted partners acting on our behalf) use your personal data:
 

  • to provide goods and services to you;

  • to manage any registered account(s) that you hold with us;

  • to verify your identity;

  • for fraud prevention, detection and related purposes;

  • with your agreement, to contact you electronically about promotional offers and products and services which we think may interest you;

  • to enable us to manage customer service interactions with you; and

  • where we have a legal right or duty to use or disclose your information (for example in relation to an investigation by a public authority or in a legal dispute).

 

Sharing data with third parties

Our service providers and suppliers

In order to make certain services available to you, we may need to share your personal data with some of our service partners.  These include IT, delivery and marketing service providers.


Transition only allows its service providers to handle your personal data when we have confirmed that they apply appropriate data protection and security controls.  We select service providers with GDPR conformant data protection and security, which mean they can only use your data to provide services to Transition and to you, and for no other purposes

Other third parties

Aside from our service providers, we will not disclose your personal data to any third party, except as set out below.  We will never sell or rent our customer data to other organisations for marketing purposes.

We may share your data with:
 

  • our carefully selected partners who provide ‘Transition’ branded products and services (for example cloud service providers), if we have your consent to do so;

  • credit reference agencies where necessary for card payments;

  • governmental bodies, regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts/tribunals and insurers where we are required to do so.

International transfers

To deliver products and services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to transfer your data outside of the UK or the European Economic Area.  This will typically occur when service providers are located outside the UK or the EEA or if you are based outside the UK and the EEA.  These transfers are subject to special rules under data protection laws.


We ensure that all such transfers are compliant with data protection law and all personal data is secure.  Our standard practice is to use ‘standard data protection clauses’ which have been approved by the UK Information Commissioner for such transfers.  Those clauses can be accessed here.

How long do we keep your data?

We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of data.​

  • your communication and marketing preferences;

  • your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses;

  • your correspondence and communications with Transition.

This list is not exhaustive and, in specific instances, we may need to collect additional data for the purposes set out in this Policy.  Some of the above personal data is collected directly, for example when you send an email to our customer services team.  Other personal data is collected indirectly, for example your browsing activity.  We may also collect personal data from third parties who have your consent to pass your details to us, or from publicly available sources.
