The requirements of the Energy Efficient Mortgage Label Convention are intended to increase transparency and improve access to information, but they are not a substitute in any way for each User's independent product, investment and credit evaluation.
• The Product Information on this Site is provided for your convenience only, and does not constitute any form of credit rating, an offer to sell (or the solicitation of an offer to purchase) any Product, nor does it constitute a recommendation, or investment advice (or any other type of advice) upon which reliance should be placed.

Subscription to our newsletters

With our newsletters, we inform you about the EEMLF and its activities.

If you wish to receive our newsletters, we require a valid e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and/or that the owner consents to the receipt of the newsletter. No other data is collected. This data will only be used for sending newsletters and will not be disclosed to third parties.

During the registration for our newsletters, we save your IP address and the date of registration. The storage of this data serves exclusively as evidence in cases where a third party misuses an e-mail address to subscribe to our newsletters without the authorised owner’s knowledge.

You may revoke your consent to the saving of the data, the e-mail address, as well as their use for sending our newsletters at any time. This revocation can be submitted via a link in the newsletters themselves, or via a message sent to info@energy-efficient-mortgage-label.org

Who has access to your information?

Your personal data will only be handled by or on behalf of the EEMLF and with utmost care for your privacy. We will never sell or rent your information to third parties. We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third Party Product Providers we work in association with

We work with certain third-party product providers to deliver quality and reliable services (for example e-mail newsletters and other relevant messages sent through service providers including Outlook, SendGrid, Wufoo, SurveyMonkey). We advise you to also read their Privacy Policy.

Embedded services of third-parties

It may be the case that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps or graphics from other websites are embedded within our website. This always requires the third-party providers to gain knowledge of the user’s IP address. This is because without the IP address, they would be unable to send the content to the browser of the corresponding user. Hence, the IP address is necessary to display such content. We strive to use only such content whose corresponding provider uses the IP address exclusively for delivering the content. However, we have no control over whether the third-party provider does in fact store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. If we should become aware of this, we shall inform you.

How long do we keep your personal data?

When contacting us via the contact form or e-mail, your personal data provided (such as name and e-mail address) will be saved for the purposes of processing the query, as well as in case there are follow-up questions.

If you sign up for our newsletters, we will keep your contact details in our mailing list until you decide that you no longer wish to receive our newsletters and unsubscribe or let us know via e-mail (info@energy-efficient-mortgage-label.org) or until they are no longer of interest to you. We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We will hold your specified personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant and specified activity.

Your rights & choices

You have the right to access the personal data we hold of you, of course free of charge. Equally, you have the right to have your personal data removed/deleted (unless we are processing your data as part of a legal obligation), corrected or completed.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely. Non-sensitive details (your e-mail address etc.) are transmitted normally over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we may have been given (or where you may have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Profiling

We do not engage in active market profiling.

However, we may analyse the personal information you provided us with (for example your identity, the company or association you work for and your job title) to identify your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information relevant to you (for example invitations to events that might be of interest to you). We may make use of additional information about you when it is available from external sources to help us do this effectively.
