Privacy Principles

Privacy policies can be complicated. We have tried to make ours as clear and as accessible as possible. To help, we have also summarised how we handle your personal information at Moody Sewage Ltd in our privacy principles below. These principles demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information in the right way and as you would expect it to be handled.

At Moody Sewage Ltd we:

    1. Will only ask for or collect the personal information we need to provide and improve the service and experiences our customers expect.
    2. Give you control over the personal information we hold about you to ensure it is accurate and reflects your preferences.
    3. Make sure your personal information is always secure and protected.
    4. Are fair and transparent about how we use the personal information we hold.
    5. Only ever use your personal information for the purpose that you trusted us to use it for.
    6. Will never sell your personal information and only share it as outlined in our privacy policy or when you ask us to.
    7. Take responsibility for the personal information that we hold about you.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We are not interested in collecting every personal detail about you. Our main reason for collecting your personal information is to provide and improve the service and experiences that you and our customers expect from us. 

Moody Sewage collects and processes a range of personal information about you. This includes:

  • Full name
  • Addresses – both commercial and domestic
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses

Personal information is defined slightly differently across the world. To guarantee your privacy and the protection of your information, we define it as any 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 we collect personal information about you and the 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?

Information you share with us

We collect personal information that you share with us when you contact us or interact with us through our website, email, phone, in person at your property, or otherwise. 

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, e-mail address, contact number and payment information. In some circumstances, we will need that information to be able to provide you with the service that 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 bill 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.

Information from your online interactions 

We collect and store limited personal information and some anonymous, aggregate statistics from all visitors to our website, whether you actively provide us with that information or merely browse our website. The information we collect includes the browser software you use, your operating system, the date and time of access, the internet address of the website from which you link through to our website and information on how you use our website. 

We use this information so that we can see how well our website is working, how they are used and what users look at most. 

We also collect and handle information about how you engage with our promotional campaigns and advertising online, outside of our own websites (for example, on Google and on social media). 

That information is, predominantly, collected through our use of cookies and similar technologies

Cookies

We use cookies on our websites. “Cookies” are small text files that websites save onto your device via your web browser. They’ve been around since the mid-1990’s and are one of the most widely used technologies on the internet. 

Some cookies that we use at Moody Sewage Ltd will collect personal information about you. Any personal information that is collected will be used in accordance with this privacy policy. By continuing to use our website and services, you accept that cookies will be set on your device. 

For further information, including on the types of cookies that we use and how to manage cookies placed on our websites, please refer to our how we use cookies section in this policy.

Email Communications

As a user of our services, we will send you communications by e-mail. As long as you are happy for us to do so, we would also like to keep you posted on anything that’s happening at Moody Sewage Ltd which we think you might like to know about; whether it’s our latest product announcements, offers, we want to make sure you’re happy with the communications you receive from us. You can find out how to update or change whether you would like to hear from us, or stop us contacting you, in the section below titled ‘How can you change the way that we contact you?’

Social Media 

We love interacting with you on social media. You may use social media to contact us about your needs, or to let people know what you think about Moody Sewage Ltd. We review publicly available social media and online sites to get a better understanding of what people are saying about us, and our services and to assist consumers who prefer to contact us through social media. 

The information we collect from social media and online sites, including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Line and Snapchat, sometimes includes personal information that thas been put online and is publicly available. We make sure any information we use is properly credited to its source or is made anonymous. 

These online and social media sites typically have their own privacy policies explaining how they use and share your personal information. You should carefully review those privacy policies before you use these sites to make sure that you are happy with how your personal information is being collected and shared. 

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.

Information you share with us 

We use the personal information you share with us in the following ways:

  • To respond to your queries and requests;
  • To communicate with you;
  • To provide services and support for our products;
  • For customer satisfaction surveys to enable us to identify where service improvements can be made and to allow us to improve your experience
  • To provide updates to you about any changes to Moody Sewage Ltd policies, terms and conditions and any other matters which we may need to tell you;
  • As long as you are happy for us to do so, to tell you about our other services; and
  • To provide you with essential service updates about your Moody Sewage Ltd services;

Information from your online interactions 

We use the personal information from your online interactions, by itself and in combination with other personal information that we collect about you to identify any part of our website that isn’t working as well as it should be – so that we can fix things and make our website better for you and other users; 

We also want to be able to monitor your use of our website, and how you engage with our promotional campaigns and advertising online, so that we can:

  • Customise and improve the way that you shop with us in future (for example, by showing you services and offers that we think you might like); and
  • (as long as you are happy for us to do so) send you more relevant and interesting marketing communications.

You have the right to object to our monitoring of your use of our website and how you engage with our promotional campaigns and advertising online for these purposes. For more information on how to exercise your right to object, see the section below titled ‘Your controls and choices’.

Other potential uses of your personal information 

We use your personal information:

  • To assist in any disputes, claims or investigations relating to your Moody Sewage Ltd service or warranty matters;
  • To detect and prevent fraudulent transactions;
  • To comply with our legal obligations.; and
  • For profiling and statistical analysis. As part of this activity we combine different categories of personal information that we collect about you.

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’s 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:

  • provide you with the services that you have asked for; and
  • for our services and website to be able to work properly and to do all the things that you expect them 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 what’s called a “legitimate interest” in handling your personal information; our “legitimate interest” may be to:

  • detect and prevent fraud;
  • keep our website and IT systems secure;
  • ensure that our own processes, procedures and systems are as efficient as possible;
  • analyse and enhance the information that we collect;
  • determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and advertising; and
  • customise and improve the way that you shop and engage with us in future.

There will be certain personal information that you share with us which we specify as being optional (for example, when you update your account information). 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 contacting our team on the telephone or by e-mailing hello@moodysewage.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 we do is so that we can directly or indirectly, improve our services and your overall experience of Moody Sewage Ltd as a business. Whatever our justification for handling your personal information (whether it is necessary for us to provide you with a certain product, or it is in our “legitimate interests”), we make sure that we take steps to honour our commitment to protect your privacy.

Our Moody promise to you

We love to keep you posted, whether it’s on our latest service announcements or upcoming events.

We do this using e-mail and post but only if you are happy for us to do so. Ultimately, we want to make sure you’re happy with the communications you receive from us. 

We therefore promise to:

  • Only send you marketing communications  when you have told us it is ok to do so;
  • Never pass your personal information to anyone outside Moody Sewage Ltd for them to use for their own marketing purposes; and
  • Give you the option to stop receiving support or marketing communications at any time.
