Marketing
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have, for example, requested information from us, or purchased goods or services from us, or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
We have a legitimate interest in using your personal data for marketing purposes. This means we do not usually need your consent to send you marketing information. If we change our marketing approach in the future so that consent is needed, we will ask for this separately and clearly. You do, however, have the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by contacting us. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product or service purchase, warranty registration, product or service experience or other transactions.
We will obtain your express opt-in consent, before we share your personal data with any company unaffiliated with EnerSys, for marketing purposes.
We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never sell or share it with other organisations for marketing purposes.

We will transfer your personal data with our service providers and subsidiaries of EnerSys located outside of the UK and the EEA..
Under data protection laws, we can only transfer your personal data to a country outside the UK and the EEA where:
