It is a requirement of the contract that we enter into with you that you provide all personal information requested on this form (with the exception of an email address). If you do not provide us with contact details we may not be able to perform our contract, for example, we will not be able to call you when your vehicle arrives. In order to process your personal information for this purpose, the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party. We may use your personal information for direct marketing purposes to make you aware of products and services which may interest you or for customer satisfaction surveys where you have not objected to us doing so. As part of our marketing activities, we may also use your personalinformation (including, where permitted by you and your finance provider, any finance details) to analyse your suitability for trade-ins or upgrades.
