At The Very Smart Home, we are committed to respecting your privacy and safeguarding your data. The ethos of our business is not just the installation of smart home devices, but also the establishment of trust with our customers. We take our responsibilities under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) seriously, and strive to maintain the highest standards of data protection.

1. Data Collection: When we interact with our customers, we might collect certain personal information. This could include contact details, home address, and specific details regarding the smart home devices we install for you. We only collect data that is necessary for the provision of our services and for enhancing your experience with our smart devices.

2. Data Usage: We primarily use your data to provide you with our services - from installing your smart home devices to offering after-sale service and support. Your data helps us understand your needs better, customise your smart home experience, and communicate with you effectively.

3. Data Retention: We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. After this period, your personal data will be irreversibly destroyed. Any personal data held by us for marketing and service update notifications will be kept by us until such time that you notify us that you no longer wish to receive this information.

4. Data Security: Protecting your data is crucial to us. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure your information and protect it from unauthorised access. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your personal data to those employees who need to know that information to provide benefits or services to you. In addition, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information.

5. Data Sharing: We promise to keep your details safe and will never sell your data to any third party. We only share your data with our trusted partners who assist us in providing our services, and only when they adhere to our strict data protection requirements.

6. Your Rights: Under the GDPR, you have several rights with respect to your data. You have the right to request access to your data, correction of your data, erasure of your data, object to processing of your data, data portability, and restrict processing of your data. If you have any questions or wish to exercise any of your rights, please contact us.

By entrusting us with your smart home needs, you're placing a lot of trust in us, and we don't take that lightly. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and we'll make sure the data you entrust to us is treated with the utmost care and respect.
