Our Privacy Statement relates to how we collect personal data from our customers and how it is used or shared with selected third parties to deliver goods and services.

All marketing communications sent by Cawdor will include an opt-out functionality.

Cawdor collects personal information when you make an enquiry or place an order for vehicles, parts or services and other products we offer. We will use this information to provide the products or services requested, maintain guarantee and service records and, if you agree, to tell you about other products and services we think may be of interest to you.

If you are taking out finance with your vehicle purchase the information you provide for the finance proposal will be disclosed to lenders for the purposes of considering your credit application. Lenders may use this information to carry out searches with credit reference agencies. A record of those searches will be kept and may be used by other lenders in accessing applications from you and members of your household for credit in the future. Lenders will cross check this information with other lenders to help prevent fraud. In order to prevent and detect fraud we may at any time share information about you with other organisations and public bodies, check and/or file your details with fraud prevention agencies and databases and, if you give us false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we will record this. We and other organisations may also search agencies and databases to check your identity to prevent money laundering, unless you furnish us with other satisfactory proof of identity.

Data collected about you by Cawdor will be used to (i) fulfil any service or order you may request, (ii) improve customer service for example by conducting surveys, (iii) for sending marketing and other communications to you, and (iv) to enable us to contact you about safety issues, servicing and MOTs. We may also from time to time want to share new and exclusive offers as well as tailored options for you to renew your current finance contract. Your personal information may be shared with the vehicle manufacturer and selected third parties (such as providers of automotive products and value added services such as insurance). We will, however, always use every reasonable effort to ensure sufficient protections are in place to safeguard your personal information.

We, and third parties with whom we have shared your information, may contact you with information about products and services that we, or the third parties, think may be of interest to you. We and the third parties will only contact you with such marketing if you provide your consent and select at least one preferred contact method, such as mail, telephone, SMS or email. In order to stay up to date with the latest motoring news and events from Cawdor we may contact you in the methods indicated by your chosen preferences. We aim to improve the customer experience and may survey new and existing customers using standard market survey techniques from time to time.

Under data privacy laws, you have the rights to: request access to your personal data; request deletion or correction of your personal data; and request that your personal data be transferred to another person.

Our online data preference centre helps you to exercise the rights that data privacy laws give you and control your personal information. It contains five separate forms, as set out below.
