9. Other possible uses of Personal Data

Data Accuracy

We periodically share our customer data with a third party in Germany called CDQ who offer data cleansing services, this is to fulfil our legal obligation to ensure that the personal data we hold about you is complete and accurate as far as possible. CDQ are our processor and do not retain a copy of your personal data. Our lawful basis for processing your personal data for this purpose is our legitimate interests in maintaining an up to date and accurate database of our customers and their contact details, and also in order to comply with our legal obligation to ensure personal data that we process is complete and accurate as far as we can reasonably do so.

Videocalls

We use a third party called Sightcall based in the USA for our video calling capability, this will be used between either a Vaillant engineer or other third-party engineer located at an installation address, and a Vaillant technical support agent at our call centre. The video call is used to aid installation checks and fault finding that we offer as part of some if our training courses. The users of the video call will not seek to put you in the video and will be advised as far as it is possible to only capture the Vaillant product, but in doing so they may inadvertently capture partial views of the callers or the property where the Vaillant product is situated. We do not record these videos, so they are purely live streaming and unsaved. Our lawful basis for using video calling and your data within it in this way is our legitimate interests, in that it is legitimate, given the low likelihood of capturing your personal data, for us to utilise non-recorded video calling in order to ensure a correct and proper installation or repair of your boiler.

CCTV

If for any reason you enter on to any of our premises, we have 24-hour closed-circuit television surveillance that may capture your image and activity within our perimeter, our lawful basis for capturing your image on CCTV is our legitimate interests, in that it is legitimate to seek to protect and secure our premises and property and the safety and security of those people working at our premises. We will retain images captured on CCTV for no more than 31 days unless that recording is required to assert our legal rights.

Profiling & Segmentation

We want to give you the best possible customer experience. One way to achieve this is to get the richest picture we can of who our customers are by combining the customers account address postcode data (for business addressed this may not be classed as personal data but we strive to be as transparent as possible by including this section) in a market segmentation and profiling software (supplied by TransUnion) to establish a set of customer segments. We do this so that we can understand our customers better and similar potential customers who might be interested in Vaillant Group products and services. We use this market segmentation and profiling service to better target our marketing activities around the UK. Our lawful basis for using your aggregated postcode data is legitimate interests, in that it is legitimate for a business to seek the best use of its marketing budget and activities to optimise our business and improve the relevance for our existing and future customers. We will periodically re-assess our key customer profiles and market segmentation to keep the data we derive from that up to date. Please be assured that we will not advertise to you directly unless you have given us your consent to do so.

10. Electronic advertising and customer satisfaction surveys

Provided you have given your consent, we may contact you by email, telephone, or SMS to provide details of offers or complimentary services that may be of interest to you based on the services you have previously used or ask you to participate in online customer satisfaction surveys. Depending on the circumstances, we process information about your consent (date and time), about the products and services you use, the sending of the advertising or the customer satisfaction survey (in particular the content of our messages, date and time), information about the delivery and opening of the email, the data for establishing the connection between the website and your browser and device, and the information you provide in connection with the customer satisfaction survey. We associate this information with your existing customer data so that we can better understand your interests and send you relevant information and offers. If we conduct an anonymous customer satisfaction survey, we will make specific reference to this. We also use the data for statistical purposes.

Our lawful basis for processing your personal data for advertising and customer satisfaction surveys is your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by telling us by phone, sending an email to dataprotectionUK@Vaillant-group.com or via an unsubscribe link provided for this purpose in the respective email, and we will place your details on a suppression list so that we know not to contact you with advertising and customer satisfaction surveys in the future.
