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.

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.

• 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.

IMPORTANT: This Direct Marketing Policy forms part of the LG UK B2B Privacy Policy and should be read alongside the full Privacy Policy at www.lg.com/uk/business/privacy/. This Policy applies exclusively to business users and authorised representatives of organisations, including the personal data of employees and representatives who interact with LG Electronics U.K. Limited in a commercial context. It does not apply to the processing of consumer data. If you are a consumer, please refer to the consumer privacy policy at www.lg.com/uk/privacy/
1. Who this Policy applies to
This Policy applies to business users and their authorised representatives who interact with LG Electronics U.K. Limited ("LG UK") in a commercial context. It governs how we use your personal data for direct marketing and commercial communications. It does not apply to consumers.
2. What we send
We may communicate with business users and their representatives regarding:
• Commercial product and service announcements relevant to your business sector;
• Promotional offers, pricing updates, and trade promotions applicable to business accounts;
• Invitations to business events, webinars, and product demonstrations;
• Account management communications and relevant service updates;
• Trade publications, whitepapers, and B2B commercial insights.
We do not intent to engage in consumer-style marketing activities including prize draws directed at individuals, competitions, or behavioural advertising based on personal browsing history.
3. Lawful basis for direct marketing
(a) Soft opt-in for existing business contacts - PECR Regulation 22
For electronic marketing (email, SMS, and telephone) to existing business contacts, we rely on the soft opt-in exemption under Regulation 22 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), provided all of the following conditions are met:
• We obtained your business contact details in the course of a prior commercial transaction or enquiry;
• The marketing relates to similar products or services to those involved in that prior transaction or enquiry;
• You were given a clear opportunity to opt out at the time your details were first collected; and
• Every subsequent marketing communication contains an easy, free-of-charge method to opt out.
(b) Soft opt-in in practice
NOTE: The soft opt-in rule applies to marketing sent to individual subscribers (for example named individuals at sole traders or partnerships). For corporate subscribers, PECR does not require prior consent, but we provide opt-out mechanisms in all communications.
(c) Consent for new business contacts
For electronic marketing to business contacts with whom we have no prior commercial relationship, we rely on consent where required under PECR. In these cases, we process your personal data on the basis of your consent under Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR, together with the applicable provisions of PECR. Consent is obtained via a clear opt-in mechanism. Pre-ticked boxes and implied consent are never used. Consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. You may withdraw consent at any time without consequence. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
(d) Legitimate interests for non-electronic marketing
For non‑electronic marketing activities (such as postal communications and account‑management calls), we rely on our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR. We have conducted a legitimate interest’s assessment and consider that our interest in maintaining and developing commercial relationships is genuine, proportionate, and supported by an appropriate balancing test. We have concluded that this interest is not overridden by the rights or interests of the business contacts concerned. A copy of this assessment is available on request from dataprotection.uk@lge.com.

We will process opt‑out requests as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within 10 working days. You may continue to receive marketing for a short period while we process your request.
Transactional and operational communications (order confirmations, account alerts, and updates to our terms) - These are not marketing communications and will continue where necessary for contract performance or legal obligations.
6. Third-party marketing
We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your separate, explicit consent. Where we work with third-party marketing agencies as data processors, they are bound by contractual data processing agreements and are not permitted to use your data for their own marketing.
7. Profiling
For B2B marketing, we may carry out limited profiling of business contacts based on industry sector, product category, purchase history, and account activity, to ensure our communications are commercially relevant. This profiling is based on legitimate interests and does not involve automated decision-making with a legal or similarly significant effect on you. You have the right to object at any time to profiling for direct marketing purposes by contacting dataprotection.uk@lge.com, and we will stop such processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds.
8. TPS and CTPS
We screen telephone marketing lists against the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS) registers before conducting telephone marketing campaigns. If you are registered with TPS or CTPS, we will not contact you by telephone for marketing purposes without your prior express consent.
