What information we collect when you register and why?

How do we use your information? 

Data Protection says that we are allowed to use and share your personal data only where we have a proper reason to do so. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons and these are: 

• Contract - your personal information is processed to help us and you uphold any warranty that we are offering and to refer to should you wish to exercise your warranty where your paperwork has been lost or mislaid. It allows us to hold record of all of the repairs you have carried out.  This also helps us uphold any warranty you may have, should your paperwork be lost.   

• Consent – where you agree to us using your information in this way for warranty purposes or for us to contact you during a repair if we have a question or to let you know your device is ready for collection.  From time to time we may also wish to contact you to let you know of any promotional offers and services from the ilab that may also be of interest to you.  In relation to the passcode of your device, this will only be used to access all of the functions post-repair to check everything is functioning correctly.  You are of course, at liberty to take this passcode off if you wish, or be present to enter this information yourself after the repair. 

• Legal Obligation – where there is statutory or other legal requirement to share the information e.g. when we have to share your information for law enforcement purposes.
