Purpose for Epson processing your personal data

(‘Processing’ means any activity Epson and its subsidiary companies perform with the personal data about you including gathering it, holding it, using it and disclosing it.)

The primary purpose for which Epson will process your personal data is enabling contact (by Epson and its subsidiary companies) with you for the execution of the ReadyPrint Plan.

This includes:

  • enable the identification when you contact Epson;
  • processing your requests;
  • monitoring and recording phone and written communications with you for quality of the assurance and compliance purposes and for dealing with your complaints and queries concerning the ReadyPrint Plan;
  • understanding which parts of Epson ReadyPrint Plan and which products and services are of most interest to you; and
  • improve product and service of the ReadyPrint Plan.
Legal basis for holding your personal data

The legal basis for this is the performance of your ReadyPrint Plan contract.

If you choose to give information beyond what Epson requires you to provide, the basis for processing that information is your consent as demonstrated by you voluntarily providing it. You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. You can do this by writing to Epson at the address shown above or the link ContactUsAboutYourData.

As part of its processing, Epson may perform some automated profiling and decision-making based on the information it holds about you in order to make information presented to you more relevant to your interests.

If in the future Epson wishes to process your personal data for some other purpose, it will first provide you with information about that other purpose.

When you have given your consent to this, Epson will also use your personal data for the purpose of electronic marketing communications to you (normally by e-mail) which may include:

  • conducting surveys and asking your opinion of our products and services;
  • notifying you of products or offers that may be of interest to you;
  • notifying you of promotions such as free gifts, contests and prize draws;
  • marketing analysis and customer profiling; and
  • invitations to events.

The legal basis for this is your specific consent. You may withdraw your consent to this additional purpose (independently of your right to object to Epson processing data for the general purposes described above) at any time by writing to the contacts above or via the following link ContactUsAboutYourData.

How long will Epson hold my data for?

Epson will hold your personal data while you are recorded in Epson’s records and subsequently for three years from your last contact with Epson. When this ceases to be the case your information will only be kept as an archived record.

Personal data may be held for longer periods where extended retention periods are required by law or regulation and in order to establish, exercise or defend Epson’s legal rights.

What personal information does Epson share with third parties?

Epson uses third parties to perform some processing activities on its behalf. Some or all of your personal data may be disclosed to them but they are only permitted to use the disclosed data for the purposes for which Epson holds your data and in accordance with Epson’s directions.

Some of our external third parties are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Epson shares your personal data within Epson’s companies. This involves transferring your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Whenever Epson transfers your personal data outside the EEA, Epson ensures that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by the implementation of at least one of the following safeguards:

  • Epson will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. In 2019 Japan has been granted adequacy deal on Data Protection by the European Commission.
  • When Epson shares your personal data within Epson’s companies or uses certain third parties, Epson uses the Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries approved by the European Commission, which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
  • When we use providers based in the United States (US), we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield, which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data outside the EEA.

Data Security

Epson has security measures in place to protect your information and prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, Epson gives access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties based on “need to know” principle. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Epson has procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable authority of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
