The sources we employ include: Mortascreen, The Bereavement Register (TBR), GAS Goneaway, National Change of Address (NCOA Track), Mailing Preference Service (MPS) and Mosaic for profiling.
You are able to write to us and ask us to restrict the processing we perform with your data. Where we do not have a legal obligation to continue the processing, we will implement your request or, if we are legally obliged to continue, (such as honouring warranties or enabling product recalls) we will explain why we are unable to restrict the processing.
Automated decision-making is only used when confirming your eligibility for any financing arrangements through Hyundai Finance during the purchase of a new or used vehicle and for the purchase of aftersales products.
Profiling is used within the marketing communication to make sure any offers or information we send is relevant to you.
You have the right to ask us to remove your data from our central database. If still own a Hyundai car then we will need to retain your data under certain legal obligations in order to communicate with you (for example in the event of a safety recall). If you do not own a vehicle and there are no other valid reasons for retaining your data for processing, your personal data will be deleted within one month from the receipt of your request.
Your data (contact details, vehicle details, purchase intentions, reminders you set etc.) will be collected and processed under the following legal bases.
We may process your personal data for our legitimate business interests. Examples of this include: data analytics, direct mail, phone calls, research and improving our services.

We balance the benefits to you against those of our business to make sure we are compliant with data protection legislation and that we are not causing any harm or distress.
The following types of people may have access to your data depending on their role within our business and the type of data being stored.
We will store your information on secure systems within Hyundai offices in Europe, our Head Office in Korea, our authorised Data Processor suppliers, our authorised dealers and authorised repairers.
We keep the data you give us for differing lengths of time depending on what data it is and the reason for its collection.
Where we pass data to our secure data processors (e.g. to fulfil your brochure requests), unless there is an on-going need for them to hold and process that data on our behalf, data will be deleted from their systems after four months.
