We collect the following personal data about you:
We may enhance personal information we collect from you with information we obtain from third parties that are entitled to share that information, for example, credit agencies, search information providers and / or public sources. We may also be provided with information about you by a previous tenant, or a third-party intermediary (TPI) who is authorised to act on your behalf. As an Energy Service Company, MEESUK Ltd works closely with third parties, sub-contractors and other regulatory bodies.
We need to know your basic personal data to be able to supply your business with energy efficiency Services and maintain and operate our energy efficiency assets. In particular, we need to know your basic personal data to provide our services to you, direct any customer enquiries to the correct MEESUK Ltd support team, to allow our engineers to support you on-site and to communicate and conduct business with you.

We may also use aggregate information and statistics in order to help us develop our services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.
Unless you’ve asked us not to, we may contact you in writing, by phone and (where you have consented) via email or SMS with information on products, services and rewards that we, other companies within the SSE group, and occasionally our carefully selected partners identified at the time we collect your information, offer. We may use third parties to send marketing communications.
Unless you have asked us not to, we may also use your email address to show you digital advertisements via search engine results pages or on other websites.
Unless you have asked us not to, we may profile your data to provide you with marketing and offers that are relevant to you. If you opt out of profiling we will still run analysis that includes your data, but any decisions or marketing output that result from that analysis will not be used to market to you. You will be sent generic marketing that may not be relevant to you.
Where you partially complete and/or abandon any information inputted into our website and/or other online forms we may use this information to contact you to remind you to complete any outstanding information and/or for marketing purposes.
To opt out of receiving marketing messages, or to object to our use of profiling for direct marketing purposes, please contact us at any time verbally, by email or in writing using the details in the “Contacting Us” section below.
We will keep your information only for as long as necessary depending on the purpose for which it was provided.

Otherwise, we securely erase your information once this is no longer needed.
We may supply your personal information to credit reference agencies (CRAs) and they will give us information about you, such as about your financial history. We do this to assess creditworthiness and product suitability, check your identity, manage your account, trace and recover debts and prevent criminal activity. We will also continue to exchange information about you with CRAs on an ongoing basis, including about your settled accounts and any debts not fully repaid on time. CRAs will share your information with other organisations. The identities of the CRAs, and the ways in which they use and share personal information, are explained in more detail at http://www.experian.co.uk/crain/index.html
We may take credit scoring information into account when deciding the conditions placed upon your contract. In the majority of cases, we will also consider other information that we hold about you, and this decision will not be fully automated. Please note that businesses that we consider to be in higher risk industries will have a premium added.
We use automated decision-making to determine the conditions upon which we supply you in the following circumstances:
If your business is insolvent or no longer trading, we will automatically refuse to supply you.
You can appeal any automated decision, receive an explanation of the decision or require human review of the decision by getting in touch using the details in the “Contacting Us” section below.
We, or a third party who we share personal information with, may host, store and handle that personal information outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).
