1. Important information and who we are

This privacy policy aims to give you information on how Carhuna collects and processes your personal data through your use of this website and the Carhuna auction and listings platform (“Platform”), including any data you may provide through this website when you register for an account, request alerts, information and updates, interact with buyers or sellers on the Platform, purchase or sell a vehicle or other item, or take part in a survey or competition. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

This privacy policy may be supplemented by other privacy or fair processing information we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you. We may provide supplementary information where we consider this necessary to ensure you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.

Controller

Carhuna Limited is the controller and responsible for your personal data.

We have appointed a data privacy manager who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise [your legal rights], please contact the data privacy manager using the details set out below.

Full name of legal entity: Carhuna Limited

Email address: privacy@carhuna.com

Postal address: 22 Wycombe End, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, HP9 1NB

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (“ICO”), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to answer questions about our data usage and to deal with any concerns before you approach the ICO, so we would encourage you to contact us in the first instance.

Third-party links

The Platform may include links to third-party websites, documents plug-ins or applications, including the websites of persons or companies selling vehicles and automobilia on our Platform or other resources providing information about products listed for sale. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.

We do not control these third-party information sources and, specifically, we do not vet or review links and third-party content provided by sellers or any user using the Platform’s messaging and communications functionality. We are not responsible for the content of third-party sites or their use of your data. When you use these third party links, we encourage you to ensure that you understand how those third parties will use your data, including by reviewing the privacy information made available by those third parties.

2. The data we collect about you

Personal data means any information about a living individual from which that person can be identified (either in isolation, or in combination with other information already held by anyone obtaining the personal data). It does not include data about a living individual where the recipient of the information cannot identify that individual, either because of the nature of the data or because it has been modified to render it permanently anonymous.

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

Identity Data includes first name, last names, username or similar identifier, title, and date of birth..

Contact Data includes billing address, business or residential address, email address and telephone numbers.

Financial Data includes bank account and payment card details (collected by our payment service providers on our behalf)

Transaction Data includes details about payments to and from us and you and limited transaction details of vehicles and other products you have purchased or sold on the Platform.

Technical Data includes internet protocol (“IP”) address, your login data and location.

Profile Data includes your username and password (and any others associated with your business, if applicable), purchases or orders made by you or your business, your interests, preferences, alert or notification requests, feedback, competition entries and survey responses.

Usage Data includes information about how you use the Platform, including goods, pages and functions you visit or interact with.

Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not itself personal data in law, as once aggregated this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.

For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Platform feature or searching for a particular make or model of vehicle. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data).

We do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offences as a data controller. Any such information which you may choose to share with another user via the Platform (for example, records of motoring or related offences) will be processed by us only as a processor acting on your instructions (and not as a data controller). Our Platform terms of use set out our legal obligations to you in relation to this processing, which are designed to meet the legal requirements of Article 28 of the UK GDPR.

Where we are required to collect personal data by law, or need to do so under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with access to the Platform and/or to list or allow you to bid on or purchase vehicles or other products via the Platform). In this case, we may not be able to (i) provide you with access to the Platform or to specific products or services for which the personal data is required; and/or (ii) facilitate a transaction (such as the purchase or sale of a vehicle) via the Platform. We will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. How is your personal data collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:

request alerts or conduct searches;

request promotional information or offers to be sent to you;

Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with our website, we will automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns.

(c)Identity and Contact Data from publicly available sources, such as Companies House, the Electoral Register or the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency based inside the UK, or publicly available data from the internet.

4. How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

Where we need to perform a contract relating to your use of the Platform we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

Click here to find out more about the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal data.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around communications, marketing and advertising. Your user profile provides you with options to control reminders, alerts, notifications and suggestions from us.

Subject to those preferences, we may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you and to offer suggestions and recommendations in relation to vehicles or other goods listed on the platform.

You will receive marketing communications from Carhuna if you have requested information from us or registered an account on the Platform and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes. However, we may aggregate and anonymise your data together with data from other users of the Platform in order to generate insights and information which we may share with third parties to help them improve and develop their businesses.

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by logging into the website and checking or unchecking relevant boxes to adjust your marketing preferences, by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you, or by contacting us at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a purchase or other transaction carried out via the Platform.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

5. Disclosures of your personal data

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table [Purposes for which we will use your personal data] above.

Internal Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.

External Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.

Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6. International transfers

To the extent that any of our external third parties are based outside the UK, any processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We may transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. For further details, see https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the- general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/international-transfers/#Q1

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts (the International Data Transfer Agreement and/or associated Addendum) approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK. For further details, see https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the- general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/international-data-transfer- agreement-and-guidance/.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

7. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8. Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us. However, we are legally required to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. We may anonymise and/or aggregate your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you and is no longer personal data) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use the non-personal data indefinitely without further notice to you.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your personal data: see your legal rights below for further information.

9. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. Please click on the links below to find out more about these rights:

Request access to your personal data.

Request correction to your personal data.

Request erasure of your personal data.

Object to processing of your personal data.

Request restriction of processing your personal data.

Request transfer of your personal data.

Right to withdraw consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details given at the start of this policy.

No fee usually required

You will not normally have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may either (i) we charge a reasonable fee for processing your request; or (ii) refuse to comply with your request.

What we may need from you in order to give effect to a right

You may exercise rights in your personal data yourself or may ask someone else to help you exercise these on your behalf. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm the identity of the person making the request and/or on whose behalf the request is made. This ensures that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it and that rights in relation to an individual are being exercised by that individual or with their authority. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Using the Platform to exercise your rights

The Platform and your user account settings will also provide you with means to control our use of your personal data and exercise your rights. For example, you can view, correct and update your data via user account settings, and can also opt in or out of alerts, notifications and messaging as well as electronic marketing.

10 .Glossary

“LAWFUL BASIS”

Legitimate Interest means the interest of Carhuna in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We are also permitted to process personal data on the basis of other people’s legitimate interests, which may include (i) your own interest in using our services and obtaining information from the Platform; (ii) the interests of other users in communicating, reaching or interacting with you in relation to vehicles, services and other goods; and (iii) the interests of third-parties in conducting, growing and managing their own businesses.

We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or those of any of these third parties. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests (or those of the third party) are overridden by the impact on you, except where we have your consent to do so or where we are required or permitted to use data by law. You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

Performance of a Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (such as your contract with us as a user of the Platform which is formed on the basis of our Terms of Use) or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

“YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS”

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a 'data subject access request'). This enables you to receive a copy of the information in the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Note that much of the information we hold about you can be reviewed using your user account settings on the Platform.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. Some of the information we hold about you can be updated and corrected using your user account settings on the Platform.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no valid legal basis for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. You may be able to erase certain categories of data using your user account settings on the Platform.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and you wish to object to processing on this ground in your particular situation because you consider it will have a negative impact on your fundamental rights and freedoms. We are not required to stop processing data where an objection of this kind is received - we may instead explain why our legitimate interest in using your personal data is not overridden in a particular case by your rights and freedoms.

You also have the absolute right to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes without providing us with any explanation or reason.

Your user account settings will allow you to stop processing of data in certain ways – for example, by opting out of certain notifications, alerts and promotions.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.

Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

You have objected to our use of your data and the results of that objection are pending.

Request the transfer of certain types of personal data to you or to a third party. Where such data exists, we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to personal data which is processed via automated means, which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
