Collection of Personal Data

In order to carry out any processing of your Personal Data, we need to ensure that we have a particular reason to do so.

We have set out the reasons we have for processing your Personal Data in this Privacy Notice. These reasons can be grouped into one or more general grounds for processing, which directly relate to the legal grounds for processing set out in the UK GDPR and the DPA 2018.

We have identified these general grounds within this Privacy Notice and are described further below:

Grounds Description

Description We can process your Personal Data where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into such a contract.

Where we are relying on this ground as the basis for our processing, we will tell you what our legitimate interests are (whether in this Privacy Notice or in another fair processing notice). We can carry out any actions we consider are needed for these interests, as long as we consider that the processing in question does not negatively infringe on your privacy rights and interests.

Special Category Data – Means any personal data relating to your health, genetic or biometric data, sex life, sexual orientation, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, medical and diversity information.

The same grounds can also be relied upon for processing criminal conviction data.

The grounds and what they mean are set out below:

CiQ Mobile App Installation & Usage

The app, like all apps, has a reserved area of the device (sandboxed) and cannot access anywhere else on the device due to the security/privacy restrictions imposed by Android/iOS. The only limited access outside of this is controlled through permissions which notify you of what access the app requires to function correctly, namely:

GPS - To allow location tracking for functionality such as ensuring parcels are delivered to the correct location, only when the user is logged on

Camera - Allows taking photos for use when delivering to a safe place and camerabased barcode scanner when scanning parcels

Audio - Required by Cordova application framework, however the application does not use this functionality.

Phone - Allows retrieval of signal strength and network status information, however the app will never attempt to make, answer or monitor phone calls

System

  • Allows built in navigation software to download and store maps as well as temporary storage of photos while they are being processed (never transferred to the device)
  • Mobile application will not access files it did not create.

Sharing your information

We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name, address, email address or phone number. We want to earn and maintain your trust, and we believe this is essential in order do that.

However, we do share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this notice:

  • Companies that assist with logistical services, such as handheld terminal service providers, warehouses, and fleet management/insurance providers
  • Professional service providers, such as website hosts, who help us run our online business, or companies who support the provision of benefits or our pensions services.
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities such as law enforcement, based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
  • Companies who assist in providing independent assurance over our business operations, such as auditors and external legal representatives

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.

Cross Border Transfers

Where permitted by applicable law, Evri may transfer the personal data collected about you to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) that may not be deemed to provide the same level of data protection as the UK, as necessary to perform the contract with you and for the purposes set out in this policy.

Evri has implemented either standard contractual clauses set out in the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or supplementary measures to secure the transfer of your personal data to these third countries.

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.

Data Retention - How Long Will You Use My Personal Data For?

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 couriers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease providing services for us for tax purposes.

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Keeping your information

We’ll hold on to your information for as long as you have your account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide the services to you, or (in the case of any contact you may have with our Customer Care team) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.

If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.

Your Legal Rights

You have a lot of rights relating to your personal information. You have the right to:

  • Request Access - The right to access the personal information we hold about you. 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 - The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you (although you can probably do most of this through your Account)
  • Request Deletion - The right to request that we delete your data, or stop processing it or collecting it, in some circumstances 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 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.
  • Request Transfer - The right to request that we transfer or port elements of your data either to you or another service provider. 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.
  • Object to processing 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. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing - 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.
  • 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.

No Fee Usually Required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What We May Need from You

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.

If you have any questions about this privacy notice, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, you can do so either by:

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.
