We review Our retention periods for personal data on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil Our statutory obligations (for example accounting data).

We will hold Your personal data on Our systems as long as is necessary for the relevant activity or as long as is set out in any relevant agreement You hold with Us. We will delete as soon as possible any personal data from You that We no longer need (for example a question send by You to which We have replied).

Who has access to Your information?

We will make sure that your information does not become publicly available as well as we aim to strongly limit the availability to Third Parties.

Third Party Service Providers working on Our behalf: We may pass Your information to Our third party service providers (like for example the software company Atlassian (www.atlassian.com)), subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purpose of completing tasks and providing services to You on Our behalf (e.g. for sending newsletters, for repairing the Products or for following up the status of the queries made in the EEVE HELP CENTER).

However, when We use third party service providers, We disclose only the personal data that is necessary to deliver the service and We have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure, not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes, and to keep it for no longer than necessary for the purposes of completing the tasks and providing the services to You on Our behalf. Please be reassured that We will not release Your information to third parties for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless You have requested us to do so, or where We are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

When You are using Our secure online payment pages, Your payment is processed by Our third-party payment processor, i.e. STRIPE, who is specialized in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please send an e-mail to privacy@eeve.com .

We may transfer Your personal data to a third party as part of a bussiness partnership or a sale of some or all of Our business and/or assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if We’re under a duty to disclose or share Your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply Our General Terms or to protect the rights, property or safety of Our customers. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that Your privacy rights continue to be protected and not become publicly available.

  • To have Your personal data deleted;

How You can access and update Your data

It is important to Us that your data is accurate. If Your personal data changes and this is relevant for Us, We ask you to notify Us by email.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When You give Us personal information, We take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any financial information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with the necessary software encryption. When You are on a secured page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Although We strive to protect Your personal information, the use of Our website can never be 100% secure. As a result, We cannot guarantee the security of any information You transmit to Us, and You do so at Your own risk. Once We receive Your information, We make Our best effort to ensure its security on Our systems.

When creating an account in the EEVE HELP CENTER and in the App, we recommend choosing a strong and unique password. It is Your responsibility to keep it confidential.

The use of cookies

Like many other websites, Our website uses cookies. Cookies are mini-files placed on the hard drive of the visitor to facilitate the communication between the computer of the visitor (whatever the type used - computer, smartphone, console or video games connected to Internet, ...) and the website’s server. For more information, please see Our cookie policy (www.eeve.com/cookie-policy).

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites. The Privacy Policy applies only to Our website, so We encourage you to read the privacy policies on the other websites You visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites including if You access them using links from our website.

In addition, if You linked to Our website from a third party site, We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the operators of that third party site and recommend that You check the privacy policy of that third party site.

Transferring your information outside of the EU

As part of the services offered to you through this website, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EU. These countries may not have equivalent data protection laws to the EU. By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy.

If you use our services while you are outside the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU in order to provide you with those services
