Our Privacy Commitment

Your privacy is important to Pivotel. We developed this Privacy Policy to provide you with information on how we process your personal data. "Personal data" is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Additional information specific to your jurisdiction may be provided in a separate document. Please scroll to the "Your Rights" section to view our supplemental policies that may apply to you. The legal grounds for processing personal data specified in this Privacy Policy are based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and laws in other jurisdictions that have similar grounds. We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information.

What information do we collect?

We may collect the following types of personal information:

  • Your name, date of birth, gender and contact details (which may include home address, billing address, email address and phone numbers)
  • Payment information such as bank account and credit card details where relevant
  • Information to prove your identity. This could be your driver’s license or another approved form of ID Information relating to your credit worthiness

  • You might also need to provide personal information about other individuals to us (e.g. about your authorized representative). If so, we rely on you to have informed those individuals that you are giving their personal information to us, and to have advised them about this policy.

    How we collect your information

    There are three ways that we can collect your information.

  • 1. You give it to us when you or your representative interacts with either us or one of our trusted partners. This might happen when you are setting up an account with us, using one of our products or services, or taking part in a competition, prize draw or survey.
  • 2. We collect information when you use our networks, products and services including our call centres and online services. For example, we may use network tools to collect your call records.
  • 3. We obtain information from outside sources like credit reports, marketing mailing lists, and public information, including public posts to social networking sites. This can also include information gained from our partners if you have interacted with them. These partners include our dealer network, identity and fraud checking services, and credit reporting bodies.
  • We understand that you might not want to give us particular personal information. Just know that it may mean we are not able to provide you with the products or services you need.

    How we hold and protect your personal information

    We may store your information in hard copy or electronic format, and keep it in storage facilities that we own and operate ourselves, or that are owned and operated by our service providers. We use a combination of technical solutions, security controls and internal processes to help us protect your information and our network from unauthorized access and disclosure.

    We use account IDs and passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your account. You should update your password regularly and only share these details with people you authorize to access and manage your account. You can get help on how to use these tools by contacting us using the contact details below.
