2. How we use your information

Data protection laws require that TEI meets certain conditions before the Company is allowed to use your data in the manner described in this privacy policy. To use your personal data, TEI will rely on the following conditions, depending on the activities being carried out:

• Necessary for the entry into / performance of a contract: When you enter into a transaction, a contract will have been entered into between you and the Company. In order for TEI to fulfil its obligations under such contract, we will need to collect and process your personal data. Failure to provide the requisite personal information on sign-up and financial information on entering into the transaction or objecting to this type of processing / exercising your deletion rights will, unfortunately, mean the company cannot provide the goods or services to you.
• Consent: If you have opted in, TEI may send you marketing messages by email, post or telephone about the Company and its products or other services.
• If you are not a customer but have provided TEI with consent to use your details for marketing purposes, the Company may also contact you about its products and services.

TEI will primarily use data to communicate with you, deliver the service you have requested, or services that might interest you or improve our service. 

Length data is kept

Data is not kept any longer than is required for the purposes of the processing or to comply with the law. Since data is collected for many different purposes there is not a single retention period for all data. Instead, TEI carefully assesses the length of time to retain data according to the processing purpose and to comply with any legal obligations. When data is no longer required for the purposes of the processing it is securely removed from the Company’s systems.

These may include businesses that provide technology services such as hosting for our servers and email distribution and business partners who provide delivery fulfilment services.

TEI may also disclose your personal data to any supply and delivery partners required for the purpose of processing and fulfilling an order.

In the event of any insolvency situation (e.g. the administration or liquidation) of TEI, personal information may be disclosed to third parties as required by law.
