- To provide customer support and improve your customer experience;

If you’ve told us it’s OK (or unless you’ve asked us not to after a purchase), we may like to contact you to provide information about products or services we think might interest you. You may withdraw this consent at any time.
For legitimate business reasons we may also process your data for customer satisfaction and customer experience improvement purposes, i.e. by analysing data we hold about you to offer future goods and services that are likely to be of interest to you. We would also use this data in connection with the prevention and detection of fraud and other crime.

If you do not wish your phone number to be used in this way, then please do not provide a phone number when placing your order.
We may automatically collect anonymous information about your use of EcoQlip. For example, we may automatically log which parts of EcoQlip you access, which web browser you deploy and the website from which you linked to EcoQlip. You cannot be identified from any of this information. It enables us to compile statistics about the use of EcoQlip, and to help target aspects of EcoQlip and advertising to you more accurately.
