How we use your personal information ?

  • If you elect to store an encrypted Payment Method with us, to associate that Payment Method with you when you place an order; 
  • To tailor aspects of EcoQlip including its search function and any offers to you;
  • To pass your Product order for delivery by third party deliverers engaged by us;
  • To provide customer support and improve your customer experience;
  • To contact you by email and mobile communication (such as text (SMS) and “push” notification) in relation to the products or services you have purchased.

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 elect to make a payment with us, that Payment Method will not in fact be stored by EcoQlip itself, but instead it will be stored by a payment service provider under contract with us. The storing payment service provider will be required to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

If you are asked to provide a phone number for a Product you are ordering, note that the phone number may be provided to the deliverer of your order – and (unless you specifically opt not to permit this) may appear on your order’s packaging – to assist with the delivery process. 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.
