In connection with the B2B Site, we collect the following categories of personal data:

• Business contact data: name, business email address, telephone number, job title, and employer or organisation name - collected when you register a B2B account, submit an enquiry, place an order, or contact us.

• Transactional data: order and purchase history, delivery information, invoicing details, and payment records. We do not store full payment card details.

We do not intend to collect special category data (as defined in Article 9 UK GDPR) through this B2B Site. Please do not provide such data. If such data is provided in the course of a commercial enquiry, we will handle it in accordance with applicable law and delete it where appropriate.

3. How we use your personal data

We process personal data relating to B2B users on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:

(a) Contractual necessity - Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR

We process business contact and transactional data where this is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or your organisation, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. This includes processing orders, managing your account, and providing after-sales support.

(b) Legitimate interests - Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR

We process personal data where this is necessary for our legitimate business interests, including managing commercial relationships, preventing fraud, improving our B2B services, and conducting direct marketing to existing business contacts where Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (“PECR”) permits. We have carried out a legitimate interests’ assessment and consider that our legitimate interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the individuals concerned, having carried out an appropriate balancing test.

(c) Legal obligation - Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR

We process personal data where required to comply with our legal obligations, including tax and accounting obligations and obligations under data protection and commercial law.

(d) Consent - Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR

Where we rely on consent - for example, for certain marketing communications under PECR - you may withdraw consent at any time by contacting dataprotection.uk@lge.com or by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing communication. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

4. Sharing personal data

We share personal data with the following categories of recipients, as necessary for the purposes described in Section 3:

• LG Group companies, for internal business purposes and service delivery;

• Authorised service providers and data processors (including IT service providers, logistics providers, and payment processors), under contractual data processing agreements;

• Professional advisers (lawyers, accountants, and insurers), where necessary for legal or compliance purposes;

• Regulatory and government authorities, where required by law;

• Acquirers or successors in the event of a corporate transaction, merger, or sale.

We do not share business contact data with advertising partners, data brokers, or third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

5. Retention of personal data

We retain personal data relating to B2B users for the following periods:

• Account and transactional data: for the duration of the commercial relationship and for six years thereafter, in line with the limitation period for contractual claims under the Limitation Act 1980.

• Communications data: three years from the date of last contact, unless subject to a legal hold.

• Statutory records (tax, accounting): the period required by applicable law, ordinarily six years from the end of the relevant financial year under the Taxes Management Act 1970 and the Companies Act 2006.

Where required by law to retain data for a longer period, or where data is subject to legal claims, dispute resolution, or regulatory requirements, we will retain it for such longer period as is required.

7. International transfers of personal data

Where we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR Chapter V, including:

• Transfers to countries recognised as adequate by the UK government (currently including the EEA and South Korea);

• Where no adequacy decision applies: the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Personal data may be transferred to the Republic of Korea (LGE headquarters) and to the United States (certain service providers). Where required, we carry out transfer risk assessments to ensure that personal data remains protected to UK GDPR standards. To request further information, contact dataprotection.uk@lge.com.

8. How we protect personal data

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse. Measures include access controls, encryption in transit, and regular security reviews. No system is entirely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
