(trading as Leaderoo) and are the “data controller” for the purposes of the applicable national and European Data Protection laws.

Personal data we collect about you

When using the term “personal data” in our Privacy Policy, we mean information that relates to you and allows us to identify you, either directly or in combination with other information that we may hold. Your personal data may include for example your name or your contact details.

Categories of data we collect

We may collect and process the following categories of information about you:

    Data Profiling

    We will also match your profile to third companies that will have goods or services that will be of interest to you. It makes sense for us to ensure that you only receive offers that are relevant to you and fit within the context of your lifestyle and available purchasing power. For example, if you have provided your solar panel lease data and have consented for third parties to contact you about all the options regarding leasing solar panels, we will work with third-party brand partners to send you a solar panel lease quote tailored to your needs – thus saving you time researching the entire market. The data that we provide our third parties may be added to the information that they already hold about you. So a solar panel lease company will check whether you have been a customer of theirs before. This is to ensure that they provide the right types of products, services, and pricing to you.

    This is done based on a legitimate interest ground. Of course, you can oppose to this processing. For this, please contact us.
