This page provides information about how SellMyMobile will use your personal data for legitimate purposes.
Introduction
When you use our website, or any of our other services, we may collect personal information about you. The type of personal information we collect will vary depending on the services you are using. Our privacy policy explains this.
Companies must have a clear lawful (legal) basis under which they can collect and use (process) your personal information.
In some instances, we ask for your consent to process this information (for example, when you register to receive our email newsletters).
In other instances, we have a legal obligation to process this information (for example, when you request a best price guarantee refund).
When we process a request from you to place an order with a recycler to recycle your mobile device, the legal basis under which we collect and use your personal information is that it is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (we have to collect your details and pass them to the recycler so they might recycle your mobile device).
In all other circumstances, the legal basis under which we collect and use your personal information is that it is necessary for our legitimate business interests. “Legitimate interests” means the interests of our company in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service and the best and most relevant experience.
When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we have to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate business interests cannot override your interests - we will not use your personal information for activities where our interests are overridden by any potential impact to you.
The section below details the personal information we process for our legitimate interests and how we use that information.
You have a right to object to this processing and our privacy policy explains how you can do this.
