Privacy Policy
Duracell Energy (“DE”, “we”, “us”, or
“our”) is strongly committed to protecting personal data. This privacy
statement describes why and how we collect and use personal data and provides
information about individuals’ rights. It applies to personal data provided to
us, both by individuals themselves or by others. We may use personal data
provided to us for any of the purposes described in this privacy statement or
as otherwise stated at the point of collection.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable
living person. DE processes personal data for numerous purposes, and the means
of collection, lawful basis of processing, use, disclosure, and retention
periods for each purpose may differ.
When collecting and using personal data, our policy is to be transparent about
why and how we process personal data. To find out more about our specific
processing activities, please go to the relevant sections of this statement.

processing activities
To find out more please go to the sections of this statement that are relevant
to you.
Security
DE takes the security of all the data we hold very seriously. We have
policies, procedures, and training in place covering data protection,
confidentiality and security and regularly review the appropriateness of the
measures we have in place to keep the data we hold secure.
When
and how we share personal data and locations of processing
We will only share personal data with others when we are legally permitted to
do so. When we share data with others, we put contractual arrangements in place
to protect the data and to comply with our data protection, confidentiality and
security standards.
DE is engaged with a number of firms that have global networks. As a result,
personal data may be transferred outside the countries where we and our clients
are located. This includes to countries outside the European Union
(“EU”) and to countries that do not have laws that provide specific
protection for personal data. We have taken steps to ensure all personal data
is provided with adequate protection and that all transfers of personal data
outside the EU are done lawfully. Where we transfer personal data outside of
the EU to a country not determined by the European Commission as providing an
adequate level of protection for personal data, the transfers will be under an agreement which covers the EU requirements for the transfer of personal data
outside the EU, such as the European Commission approved standard contractual
clauses.
Personal data held by us may be transferred to:
• Other firms
We may share personal data with other firms where necessary for administrative
purposes and to provide professional services to our clients
• Third party organisations that provide applications/functionality, data
processing or IT services to us
We use third parties to support us in providing our services and to help
provide, run and manage our internal IT systems. For example, providers of
information technology, cloud based software as a service providers, identity
management, website hosting and management, data analysis, data back-up,
security and storage services. The servers powering and facilitating that cloud
infrastructure are located in secure data centres around the world, and
personal data may be stored in any one of them.
• Third party organisations that otherwise assist us in providing goods,
services or information
• Auditors and other professional advisers
• Law enforcement or other government and regulatory agencies or to other third
parties as required by, and in accordance with, applicable law or regulation.
Occasionally, we may receive requests from third parties with authority to
obtain disclosure of personal data, such as to check that we are complying with
applicable law and regulation, to investigate an alleged crime, to establish,
exercise or defend legal rights. We will only fulfil requests for personal data
where we are permitted to do so in accordance with applicable law or
regulation.
