Personal information is defined slightly differently across the world. To guarantee your privacy and the protection of your information, we define it as information that could be used to identify you or another individual.
We collect personal information about you in a number of different ways. In this section, we explain the different ways in which that information will be used. For more detail on how we use your personal information, please see the section titled " How do we use your personal information?"

For example, you will provide information to us when you contact our customer service team, request one of our services or update your preferences and account information.
Through these interactions you may share with us: Your name, address, email, contact number and payment information. In some circumstances, we will need that information to be able to provide you with the service you have asked for; for example, we need your payment information when you request a service, and your address to fulfil this for you.
If you share details of other people with us (for example, if you share a tank with your neighbour request the invoice to be split), then you will need to check with that person that they are happy for you to share their personal information with us, and for us to use it in accordance with this privacy policy.

How do we use your personal information
Our main reason for collecting and using your personal information is to provide and improve the services and experiences that you expect from us.

What is our justification for handling your personal information in this way
Data protection and privacy laws in some countries require us to have what is called a "legal basis" or "lawful ground" for handling personal information. Broadly, that means that we have to have a legal justification for handling your personal information. For the most part, we need to handle your personal information to be able to:
Sometimes our use of your personal information is not strictly necessary for us to be able to provide you with our services, or for them to work properly. In those circumstances, we have called this "legitimate interest" in handling your personal information; our "legitimate interest" may be to:
There will be certain personal information that you share with us which we specify as being optional. We will explain how we use that information and if you choose to provide it to us, you are agreeing to our use of your information in that way. You can ask us to delete that information at any time by emailing contactus@cpdwastewater.com
Finally, in some, relatively limited circumstances we will need to handle your personal information in a certain way to be able to comply with our legal obligations; for example, if we are requested to disclose your personal information to regulatory bodies or law enforcement authorities.
Ultimately, the reason we handle your personal information in the way that we do is so that we can directly or indirectly, improve our services and your overall experience of CPD Waste Water LTD as a business. Whatever our justification for handling your personal information, we make sure that we take steps to honour our commitment to protect your privacy.
