How the law protects you

As well as our Privacy Promise, your privacy is protected by law. This section explains how that works.

Data Protection law says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. This includes sharing it outside Eleco plc. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:

  • To fulfil a contract we have with you, or
  • When it is our legal duty, or
  • When it is in our legitimate interest, or
  • When you consent to it.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. Where we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is as outlined in ‘How we use your personal information’.

How we use your personal information

Here is a list of all the ways that we may use your personal information, and which of the reasons we rely on to do so. This is also where we tell you what our legitimate interests are.

We may also share your personal information if the make-up of Eleco plc changes in the future:

  • During any such process, we may share your data with other parties. We’ll only do this if they agree to keep your data safe and private.

Sending data outside of the EEA

We will only send your data outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) to:

  • Comply with a legal duty.
  • Work with our partners who we use to help provide products and services.

If we do transfer information outside of the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EEA. We’ll use one of these safeguards:

  • Transfer it to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This is a framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between the US and EU countries. It makes sure those standards are similar to what is used within the EEA. You can find out more about data protection on the European Commission Justice website.

If you choose not to give your personal information

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or 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 goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

Marketing

We may use your personal information to tell you about relevant products and offers. This is what we mean when we talk about ‘marketing’.

The personal information we have for you is made up of what you tell us, the data we collect when you use our services, or from third parties we work with.

We will only use your personal information to send you marketing messages where we have a ‘legitimate interest’ to do so. That is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. It must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages by contacting us at any time or choosing the ‘unsubscribe’ option on communication you receive.

If you stop being a customer or request us to cease contacting you about our products and services, we may keep your data indefinitely if we cannot delete it for legal, regulatory or technical reasons. We may also keep it for research or statistical purposes. If we do, we will make sure that your privacy is protected and only use it for those purposes.

How to get a copy of your personal information?

You can access your personal information by writing to us at this address:

There may be technical, contractual, or other official reasons why we need to keep or use your data but please tell us if you think that we should not be using it.

We may sometimes be able to restrict the use of your data. This means that it can only be used for certain things, such as legal claims or to exercise legal rights. In this situation, we would not use or share your information in other ways while it is restricted.

Eleco plc Covid-19 statement

Date of last update: September 23rd 2020

The initiatives taken by employees in every business unit of the Eleco plc Group earlier this year made vital contribution to our dealing successfully with the unprecedented disruption to our operations threatened by the Covid-19 outbreak. The thorough planning, initiative, and rapid response of our employees meant that within less than two weeks all our business units had mobilised to working remotely. Where necessary we switched to the online delivery of training, consultancy and support services to our customers.

We continue to operate successfully with the majority of our colleagues working from home.

We have reinstated classroom on site training in prepared rooms in the UK, Sweden and Germany. Tailoring our training environment to ensure that delegates work within a safe distance from each other. We have installed commercial hand sanitising stations and introduced a number of rules and systems for moving around Company premises to maintain social distancing. The wellbeing of our employees and visitors is paramount.

In addition, our training and consultancy employees are now able to visit customers to provide assistance where required, subject to appropriate measures being in place for the protection of all concerned.

We are continually monitoring and responding to regional government advice.
