8. How we use your Personal Data and why

Generally we do not rely on obtaining your consent as our legal basis for processing your Personal Data (except for sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message or, when required to by law, to transfer your data internationally). You have the right to withdraw consent to our or third party direct marketing at any time by contacting dpo@ridebeam.com.

Below we set out the ways we plan to use your Personal Data and the legal bases that we rely on to do so or where we have identified our Legitimate Interests in such processing.

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. Please contact dpo@ridebeam.com if you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will inform you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. We may also process your Personal Data without your knowledge or consent in compliance with law where this is required or permitted by law.

For all of the above, we may share your Personal Data with others as set out below for the purposes set out in the table 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 notice.
• Any person to whom we are compelled or required to do so under law or in response to a competent or government agency or court order or where necessary to protect, defend or enforce the rights of the Beam Group.

We require all Third Parties to treat your Personal Data in accordance with the law.

We may use automated decision making, including profiling, in certain circumstances, such as when it is in our Legitimate Interest to do so, or where we have a right to do so because it is necessary for us to enter into, and perform, a contract with you. We use profiling to enable us to give you the best service across the Beam Group, including specific marketing which we believe you will be interested in. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effects for you or affects you in any other significant way. If you are seeking to exercise this right, please contact us at dpo@ridebeam.com.

If you are interviewed or submitted as a candidate for a role with us, then this may involve the processing of more detailed Personal Data including sensitive data such as health, race or ethnicity information that you or others provide about you. Such information may be required to perform or qualify for a certain function for which you want to apply based on applicable laws in the jurisdiction in which you are based, which may provide the legal basis to process these data. In cases where there is no legal basis, we will ask for your express consent orally, by email or by an online process for the specific activity we require consent for and record your response. Where consent is the lawful basis for our processing you have the right to withdraw your consent to this particular processing as set out in the ‘Your privacy rights’ section below.

9. Marketing and promotions from us or Third Parties

We may use your Identity and Profile, Contact, Technical, Marketing or Usage Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you or supplier or Charger services that may be needed. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you.

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased products or services from us, signed us with us as a customer, supplier or Charger or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, 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 outside of the Beam group of companies for marketing purposes.

10. Opting out of marketing and promotions

At any time you can ask us or Third Parties to stop sending you marketing messages by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting dpo@ridebeam.com. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to Personal Data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.

11. Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookie Policy which can be found on www.ridebeam.com.

12. International transfers

We share your Personal Data within the Beam Group. This may involve disclosing, transferring, storing, processing and/or dealing with your data outside of the country where it was collected.

Many of our external third parties are based outside of the country where your Personal Data was collected so their processing of your Personal Data will involve a transfer of data internationally or as set out in the Other Jurisdictions section below.

Whenever we transfer your Personal Data internationally we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it as required under the law of the country which it was collected.

Please contact dpo@ridebeam.com if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data out of the country where it was collected.

13. Data security

We have security measures aimed to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other Third Parties who have a business need to know where they are required to keep it confidential.

We have procedures to deal with any Personal Data breaches and will inform you and any applicable privacy regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

14. How long we will retain your Personal Data

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

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 requirements.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers and supplier (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for a minimum period (generally up to six years) after they cease being customers or suppliers for tax purposes. Further information in relation to retention period for your Personal Data is set out below in the Other Jurisdictions section.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure below for further information.

15. Your privacy rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under applicable privacy laws in relation to your Personal Data.

Please contact dpo@ridebeam.com if you wish to exercise any of your privacy rights.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other privacy rights) however we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is without a legal basis, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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. Your privacy rights include your right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your information and your rights as below:

Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

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.

Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason 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 applicable 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.

Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a Legitimate Interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

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: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) 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; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party. 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 automated information 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. However, 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.

16. Glossary

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. 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. We do not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). Please contact dpo@ridebeam.com if you want further information about how we assess our Legitimate Interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities.
