We process personal information on the following bases:

Customers are processed on a contractual basis as they have guarantees for products and services and they have contractual agreements with us.

Enquirers and subscribers who have not purchased and so not under contract are processed under the Privacy and Electronic Communication regulations for ‘soft opt-in’ rules. By giving us their details, they are giving us permission to use those details to make contact with them.

Mail order prospects who have been contacted from data that we have received from ‘data alliances’ or ‘list rental’ are mailed on the basis of ‘legitimate interest’. These have been shared as customers who have not opted out of 3rd party data sharing.

Any customer or subscriber can exclude themselves from receiving marketing material using Customer Service (0333 030 0777) or the Mailing Requests topic of our Contact Page to do so.

We are based in the UK and comply with all local privacy regulations, we cannot legislate for any regulations or laws that may apply differently in other countries. Submitting your personal data (in some cases including overseas based email addresses) is done so strictly on that basis and the data of any foreign nationals, that we may hold as a result, is the responsibility of the person who submits it. If you would like us to remove any data please contact us and advise us as detailed above.

In line with the new data laws, on registration by providing your data you are confirming that you are aged 18 or over.

You will receive promotional emails from us occasionally offering news, updates, special offers and bulletins. Each time you receive a marketing email from Easylife, you will be given the opportunity to "opt-out" or stop receiving them.

We try to use the most popular and convenient forms of electronic communication. This could include email, sms or new and emerging forms of communication such as Facebook messenger or ‘WhatsApp’. We assume as a registered customer that you consent to receive such communication.

If you wish to be excluded from any electronic communication going forward, please choose the email opt out as found in My Preferences or on any marketing email as an unsubscribe. Please note, however, that some email promotions are prepared well in advance, so you may continue to receive offers after you have chosen to "opt-out." We appreciate your patience in giving us time to carry out your request.
