Business Transfers
If AirLuxe Air Conditioning Ltd is involved in a merger, acquisition, business restructuring or the sale of all or part of its business, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. If this happens, we will ensure that your personal information continues to be protected and processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
International Transfers of Personal Information
Some of the third-party service providers we use to operate our website and business may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal information remains protected and is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will only do so where there is a lawful basis for the transfer and appropriate safeguards are in place. These safeguards may include:
- Transfers to countries that have been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.
- The use of the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or other approved contractual safeguards.
- Transfers made under another lawful mechanism permitted by applicable data protection legislation.
We regularly review the third-party providers we work with and take reasonable steps to ensure they maintain appropriate security measures to protect the personal information they process on our behalf.
Data Retention
We will only retain your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our services, maintaining customer records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements.
The length of time we retain personal information depends on the type of information involved, the reason it was collected and any legal, accounting or regulatory requirements that apply.
Examples of when information may be retained include:
- While responding to an enquiry or preparing a quotation.
- For the duration of our contractual relationship with you.
- To maintain service, installation and warranty records where appropriate.

Keeping Your Personal Information Secure
We are committed to protecting your personal information and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard it against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.
These measures may include secure website technologies, encryption where appropriate, restricted access to personal information, secure business systems and the use of trusted third-party service providers who are required to maintain appropriate security standards.
