Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 14th November 2025
Your privacy is important to us at Power Electrics. This privacy statement explains what personal data Power Electrics collects, through our interactions with you, and how we use that data. Power Electrics is the trading name of Power Electrics (Bristol) Ltd (the Company). The following Privacy Policy applies to all subsidiary companies within our group.
Personal Data We Collect
The Company collects data to operate effectively and to provide you with the best experience with’ our products. You will provide this data directly to us when you submit an enquiry for any of our products or services over the phone, via the website, through email or by letter. We will occasionally gain data from qualified third-party vendors in order to provide you with the service or product that you require.
We will only ever collect personal data which is required for us to perform the contract, for example contact and employer details.
The personal data we do collect, we retain for the following periods:
- Legal: We are required to meet legal obligations in terms of retention periods for some data, such as financial records and information.
- Contractual: Your data will be retained for the duration of your contract, as required by us to fulfil our contractual obligations. Following the end of the contract term we retain your information for a period of 3 years for marketing and business analysis purposes.
How We Use Personal Data
The Company use the data we collect to operate our business and provide you with the products and services we offer. We also may use the data to communicate with you regarding the product and services you have enquired about.
When communicating marketing messages to you, we always seek consent prior to sending any communication about technical blogs, company news, technical events, or latest offers. Once consent has been gained you will only receive emails about the topics you expressed interest in. If you consent to us using your personal information for marketing purposes, you have the right to opt out at any time.
Reasons We Share Personal Data
We may share your personal data with approved third-party vendors in order to provide you the products and services that you require. This group includes vendors that help us provide our services to you (like payment providers that process your credit and debit card information). We require vendors to agree to privacy commitments in order to share information with them. We also share data with Company controlled affiliates and subsidiaries and when required by law, or to respond to legal process.
Transfer of Information Outside the EEA
From time to time, we may transfer your personal information to suppliers or service providers based outside of the EEA for purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If we do this your personal information will continue to be subject to one or more appropriate safeguards set out in law. These might be the use of model contracts in a form approved by the regulators, or having our suppliers sign up to an independent privacy scheme approved by regulators (like the US ‘Privacy Shield’ scheme).

The Right to Object: There are cases where we may process some of your data in order to help us assess and improve our business. This type of processing may not be supported by a contractual requirement or your consent but would have been carefully assessed to ensure that we have a clear legitimate interest in doing so that does not adversely affect you as an individual. In these instances, we make you aware of these activities along with your right to object to this kind of processing should you wish.
