4. How this information is handled

The legal basis for the handling of your personal information is the following:

  • The Company’s evaluation of market offers (for energy tariffs and telecommunication services) before determining the best offer for you requires you to provide personal information so that Selectra SARL can carry out a comparison. Without your personal information, the Company cannot make recommendations.
  • Your consent allows us to contact you to send you offers, advertising and promotional communications relating to products or services marketed by Selectra SARL and / or its related entities, as well as by third parties dedicated to the industry sectors in which Selectra SARL works in.
  • The execution of contracts with the providers of the services in question (energy, telecommunications, security or any other sector). The Company needs you to provide your personal information in order to make comparisons and to offer you a contract. Without your personal information, the Company cannot tailor a comparison to your needs or make a recommendation about which service provider to go with. For example, if you wish to switch your electricity supply through the Selectra SARL comparison service, the Company will need to handle your personal information to manage the contract with the company that you have chosen so that the service can be started.
  • The Company’s legitimate interest in handling your future requests for advice or comparison efficiently.
  • Selectra SARL or service providers marketed by the Company have a legitimate interest in congratulating you on your birthday, to keep your personal information to send you updated offers and customer satisfaction surveys. The handling of your personal data is necessary so that Selectra SARL can improve its service and increase customer satisfaction. In any case, you can exercise your right to oppose the handling of your personal information by contacting Selectra SARL (registered office: 66 Rue Sébastien Mercier, 75015 Paris, France)

5. How this information is shared

In order to offer a comparison service, the Company must be able to send your personal information to the service provider/s to be able to get pricing and product details that constitute the offer presented to you. For example, if an electricity provider is to supply you with power, the Company will need to pass on personal information so that the supply can be set up. The same applies to gas and telecommunications providers. Therefore, it is necessary for the provision of the service that the Company share the personal information to the providers of the products and services that Selectra SARL compares.

Bear in mind that if you wish to receive offers from or contract with a specific provider, Selectra SARL will communicate your personal information with that particular company and no other. You should know that if you provide additional information to the provider in question or if you wish to contract their services, the use of your data will be subject to the provider's privacy policy.

Any sharing of your personal data will be in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.

These are the people or entities who may have access and are responsible for handling your personal information:

  1. Third parties who perform various activities to promote and support our advice and comparison service. This includes technical services, data providers, customer service agents, hosting services, marketing and advertising service providers involved in the creation of offers and promotions, Customer Relationship Management software solutions and delivery companies that can deliver products as well as market research companies.
  2. Companies partnering with Selectra SARL (subsidiaries, affiliates, holding companies or brands), who act on behalf of the Company and handle your personal information for the purposes established in this Privacy Policy.
  3. If Selectra SARL enters a joint venture, buys, sells to or merges with another business entity, your personal information may be disclosed or transferred to the new company, business partners, owners or their agents and advisors. Selectra SARL will always inform the corresponding entities that they should only use your personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
  4. Any government agency, legal court or regulatory body that is entrusted with enforcing the law, government agency or other third party to whom we believe it is necessary to disclose the information (i) to comply with the applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person.
  5. If you request or consent to Selectra SARL communicating your personal information to another person or third party. However, we will not sell, distribute or give up your personal information unless we have your consent or the law requires the Company to do it.

6. Where we store and handle collected information

While Selectra SARL is based in France, the Company’s has a UK subsidiary and business partners. This means that when the Company handles your personal information, it can be done in any country within the European Economic Area (EEA). As the data controller, Selectra SARL ensures data is handled according to our privacy policy.

There is currently no plan to transfer information to countries outside of the European Economic Area. If this was to ever be the case, Selectra SARL would ensure that your personal information remains secure and compliant with this Privacy Policy.

7. How we secure personally identifying information.

We take online security and data protection very seriously. It is an area of vital importance for all our customers, so we want you to have confidence in the security of your personal details before you use our Services. We are committed to employing security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and to prevent accidental or unlawful processing, disclosure, destruction, loss, alteration and damage of your personal information. We ensure our technological security solutions keep up with current best practices in the industry. Our approach is focused on risk assessment, prevention and mitigation. In order to help us in this regard, we employ compartmentalization, pseudonymization and encryption whenever possible to protect sensitive information. While complete data security is our goal, there are many outside variables beyond our control that affect the security of your personal information. Therefore we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you disclose using your internet connection. You accept the inherent security implications of using the internet and the Company will accept no liability for any direct, consequential, incidental, indirect, or punitive losses or damages arising out of such an occurrence.

Your personal information will be kept for as long as it is needed to provide you with the comparisons, offers or services that you request. Here the two possible scenarios as to why we would handle your personal information:

  • If you accept the offer and you sign up through the service provided by Selectra SARL, we will keep your personal information for a period of three years. In this case, you must become acquainted with the privacy and security policies of the service provider you end up going with.
  • If you do not accept the offer you will not sign up through the service provided by Selectra SARL, your personal information will be kept for a period of three years.

This is necessary so that you can contact the Company or so that the Company can let you know about new offers or services that could be of interest to you.

You can at any time object to Selectra SARL handling your personal information in connection with the reception of promotional communication. The Company will record your preferences and act accordingly to respect your objection.

If either:

  1. The relevant period for personal information handling expires,
  2. You revoke your consent for the Company to handle your personal information,
  3. You request that your personal information be removed.

Selectra SARL will no longer have access to your personal information and therefore will no longer be responsible for it. Beyond this period, personal information is anonymized and stored for statistical purposes only.
