4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under applicable data protection laws, we process personal data only where a lawful basis exists. Most commonly, we process personal information because it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as fulfilling an order and providing customer support.
We may also process personal information where necessary to comply with legal obligations, including tax, accounting, consumer protection, and fraud prevention requirements. In certain circumstances, we rely on our legitimate business interests, such as improving our website, enhancing customer experience, protecting our business from fraud, and maintaining network security.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, restructuring, or similar business transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of the business assets involved in the transaction.
7. International Data Transfers
Because MotorBees serves customers across multiple countries, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.
Whenever personal data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These safeguards may include approved Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, contractual protections, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms designed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, tax, regulatory, and reporting requirements.
Order records, transaction details, and related communications may be retained for several years to comply with legal obligations and to protect our legitimate business interests. Once personal information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymized, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with our retention practices.
9. Data Security
We take the security of personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction of personal data.
These measures may include secure server environments, encryption technologies, restricted access controls, monitoring systems, and secure payment processing arrangements. While we strive to protect personal information, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have various rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to access personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of personal information, restrict certain processing activities, object to specific uses of your data, and request a portable copy of information you have provided to us.
Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted before consent was withdrawn.
We may request additional information to verify your identity before responding to privacy-related requests.
