Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how EVChargersTunbridgeWells.co.uk collects, uses, stores and shares personal information when you visit this website, submit an EV charger or grant project enquiry, call us or otherwise contact us.
Important summary
EVChargersTunbridgeWells.co.uk is an independent lead-generation website. We collect enquiry information so that we can respond and, where appropriate, introduce you to one or more selected independent EV charger installation partners.
We are not an EV charger installer, OZEV, DVLA, a council or a grant provider. Submitting information through this website does not make a grant application, confirm eligibility or guarantee funding.
1. Who we are
EVChargersTunbridgeWells.co.uk is operated by AZOF Creatives Ltd.
For the purposes of UK data-protection law, AZOF Creatives Ltd is the data controller for personal information collected directly through this website.

Please do not submit passwords, bank details, payment-card information, health information or other sensitive personal information through an enquiry form.
3. How we collect information
We collect information:
- Directly from you when you submit a website form, telephone us, email us or send a message
- From an organisation contacting us on your behalf where it has authority to do so
- Automatically through website logs, security tools, cookies and analytics technologies
- From an installation partner where this is necessary to administer or follow up an enquiry
4. How we use your information
We may use personal information to:
- Receive, review and respond to your enquiry
- Understand the proposed EV charger installation and how far the project has progressed
- Identify and introduce your enquiry to a potentially suitable independent installation partner
- Allow the selected installation partner to contact you about advice, a site survey, quotation, grant-related requirements or installation
- Keep an administrative record of introductions and enquiry outcomes
- Prevent spam, fraud, malicious activity and misuse of the website
- Maintain, secure and improve the website and enquiry service
- Deal with complaints, disputes, data-protection requests or legal claims
- Comply with legal, regulatory, tax and accounting obligations
We do not use the grant form to make an automated eligibility decision. We do not submit your information as an official grant application unless this is separately and expressly agreed with an appropriately authorised third party.
5. Our lawful bases for using personal information
UK data-protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for each use of personal information. The bases most relevant to this website are:
- Legitimate interests: to operate a genuine enquiry and installer-introduction service, respond to people who contact us, maintain records, protect the website and manage complaints or disputes. We consider whether these interests are necessary and balanced against your rights.
- Steps taken at your request: where information is needed to respond to your request for information, a quotation, a survey or an introduction connected with a possible service agreement.
- Consent: where you choose to accept non-essential cookies or separately opt in to electronic marketing. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
- Legal obligation: where we must keep, use or disclose information to comply with the law.
- Legal claims: where processing is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
Submitting an enquiry does not automatically give us permission to send unrelated marketing. Any marketing consent will be requested separately where required.
6. Who we share information with
We may share relevant enquiry information with:
- One or more selected independent EV charger installers or installation businesses that may be able to respond to the enquiry
- Website-hosting, form-processing, email-delivery, data-storage, IT-support and security providers acting on our behalf
- Analytics and cookie providers where non-essential cookies have been accepted
- Professional advisers, insurers, accountants or legal representatives where reasonably necessary
- Government bodies, regulators, law-enforcement authorities or courts where disclosure is legally required
- A purchaser or successor if the website or relevant business assets are sold or transferred, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection requirements
We do not sell personal information to unrelated organisations for their own general marketing.
Independent installation partners
An installer receiving an enquiry normally acts as a separate data controller for its subsequent use of your information. This means the installer is responsible for its own privacy practices, security, communications and any service agreement it offers. Where reasonably practicable, the identity of the selected installation partner will be made clear when the introduction is made or when the partner first contacts you.
7. Grant providers and government bodies
Submitting the grant project form does not send your information directly to OZEV, DVLA, a local authority or another grant provider. If an installer or adviser believes information needs to be submitted to an official scheme, it should explain the process, its own role and any further information or agreement required.
8. International transfers
Some technology providers may process or store information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate legal safeguard is used, such as a UK adequacy regulation, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to approved contractual clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism.
9. How long we keep information
| Information | Normal retention period |
|---|---|
| General enquiries that do not progress | Normally up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact |
| Enquiries referred to an installer or involving an active project | Normally up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact or project update |
| Records needed for complaints, disputes, financial administration or legal claims | Up to 6 years where reasonably necessary |
| Security, anti-spam and server logs | Normally up to 12 months, unless needed for an investigation or security incident |
| Analytics and cookie information | According to the cookie settings and retention periods of the relevant service |
We may keep information for a shorter or longer period where appropriate, taking account of the purpose, legal obligations, complaint or dispute risks and whether continued storage is necessary. Information may remain for a limited period in secure backups before being overwritten.
10. How we protect information
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information from accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or misuse. These may include secure website connections, access controls, account security, reputable hosting and email providers, software updates, backups and limiting access to people who require the information.
No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. You should avoid submitting information that is unnecessary for the enquiry.
11. Cookies and analytics
The website may use essential cookies needed for security, functionality and cookie preferences. With your choice where required, it may also use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the website.
Further information is available in our Cookie Policy. You can also change or withdraw non-essential cookie choices through the website’s cookie controls.
12. Marketing communications
We do not treat a request for a quotation or grant project response as blanket consent for unrelated marketing. Where electronic marketing consent is required, it will be requested separately. You can unsubscribe from marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe method provided or contacting us.
Service communications about an enquiry, introduction, survey or quotation are not marketing and may still be sent where necessary to deal with your request.
13. Automated decision-making
We do not make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you solely by automated means. The grant project form records the answers you select but does not automatically determine official eligibility, approval or funding.
14. Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- Ask for access to the personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Ask us to delete information where there is no continuing lawful reason to keep it
- Ask us to restrict how information is used in certain circumstances
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Receive information you supplied in a portable format where the right applies
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent
- Complain about how your personal information has been handled
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the reason the information is being processed. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We will respond without undue delay and normally within one month.
15. Data-protection complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have used personal information, please contact us first using the details in section 1. We will acknowledge a data-protection complaint within 30 days, investigate it appropriately and communicate the outcome.

17. Children
