We may use or disclose personal information held about an individual for the primary purpose for which it is collected – that is, to carry on our business and provide services to our customers. We may also use such information for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and where you would reasonably expect that we would use the information in such a way (e.g., major delivery companies, mail houses and third-party fulfillment contractors).

In addition, we are permitted to use or disclose personal information held about you:

- Where such use or disclosure is required under or authorised by law (for example, to comply with a warrant or other order of a court or legal process); and
- Where you have requested a service (e.g., vehicle installation, assembly or product rental e.g., jump start) and we are required to disclose the information to our stores or third party in order to facilitate the provision of the service.

Our Security and storage of this information
Our e-commerce sites use a security measure called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

Our SSL technology is the industry standard in Internet security.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect users’ personal information, Every Battery cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or from its online products or services, and users do so at their own risk. Once Every Battery receives your transmission, it makes every reasonable effort to ensure its security on our systems.
We will take reasonable steps to store your personal information securely. Only authorised team members have access to our customers’ personal information. Such access is subject to strict controls and procedures. Personal information is de-identified or destroyed securely when no longer required by us.
