Privacy Notice
Evri Group is one of the UK's leading parcel delivery services, delivering parcels within the UK and internationally.
We take data protection seriously and regularly review and update our policies, procedures and documentation to ensure we comply with applicable data protection laws, including the Data Protection Act 2018, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and, where relevant, the EU GDPR.
This Privacy Notice explains how we use personal data when you interact with us externally, for example when you send or receive a parcel, use our website or apps, contact our customer services, or apply for a role with us. Where relevant, we explain whether information applies to particular groups, such as customers, parcel recipients, members of the general public or job applicants.
Our services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data relating to children.
We use personal data to provide parcel delivery services, respond to enquiries, improve our services, prevent fraud and meet our legal obligations.
The personal data we use will depend on how you interact with us. This may include your name, address, contact details, parcel information and information about how you use our website or app.
For most parcel deliveries, Evri acts on behalf of the retailer or sender who asked us to deliver your parcel. In these cases, the retailer or sender is responsible for deciding how your personal data is used.
We only share personal data where necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations or support our business operations.
We do not sell your personal data.
You have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct or object how it is used.
For more information, see the sections below.
Depending on how you interact with us, Evri may act either as a data processor or a data controller.
When we act as a data processor
In most cases, Evri acts as a data processor on behalf of retailers or senders who ask us to deliver parcels. In these circumstances, we process personal data such as names, addresses, contact details and delivery information solely to deliver and track parcels.
When acting as a processor:
- we use personal data only to carry out delivery services;
- we act on the instructions of the retailer or sender; and
- we do not determine how or why the personal data is used.
If you have questions about how your data is used in these circumstances, you should contact the relevant retailer or sender, who acts as the data controller.
When we act as a data controller
Evri acts as a data controller when we collect personal data directly from you. This includes processing personal data for the following purposes:
- Customer services and enquiries
To respond to questions, requests and issues you raise with us.
- Complaints and claims
To investigate disputes, manage claims and handle legal matters where necessary.
- Website and app use
Including account information, usage data and preferences. This may include the use of cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy for more information).
- Fraud prevention and security
To protect our services, systems and users from misuse or unlawful activity.
- Recruitment
Where you apply for a role with us, we process personal data such as CVs and application information to assess candidates and manage recruitment.
Where Evri acts as a processor on behalf of retailers, the relevant retailer's privacy notice explains how and why your personal data is processed. This notice explains processing where Evri acts as a controller.
Evri Group includes separate legal entities, including Evri Limited and Evri Premium (formerly DHL eCommerce UK Limited), which act as independent data controllers. Personal data may be shared within the Group where necessary to support delivery operations, customer services, complaints handling and wider business operations.
Where data is shared within the Group, appropriate safeguards are in place, including data sharing agreements and security controls.
For all our services described in this privacy notice, the data controller - the company that's responsible for your privacy - is Evri Limited (trading name Evri). We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under registration number Z4921268.
We have a dedicated Data Protection Officer (DPO), Lee Howard, who oversees matters relating to data protection and this Privacy Notice. Our contact details are set out at the end of this notice.
Our registered office is:
Capitol House,
1 Capitol Close,
Morley,
Leeds,
LS27 0WH
The company is registered in England and Wales with Companies House No. 03900782.
Evri Limited is part of the Evri Group. As part of the integration with DHL eCommerce UK Limited, both organisations are aligning their operations, systems and data protection practices.
During this transition period:
- Evri Limited and DHL eCommerce UK Limited act as independent data controllers; and
- personal data may be processed by either organisation in line with their respective privacy notices.
Your personal data continues to be used only for purposes for which it was collected, your rights remain unaffected, and any changes to processing activities will be reflected in updated privacy notices.
This Privacy Notice explains how Evri collects and uses personal data when operating our parcel delivery services.

- If you are successfully recruited, your data will be transferred to our HR systems and processed in accordance with our employee privacy notice.

All personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Notice.
Personal data provided to us by our clients
In most cases, we are provided with personal data by our clients (such as retailers or senders) so that we can deliver parcels on their behalf.

Group companies act as independent data controllers, joint controllers or data processors depending on the context, and personal data is shared only where there is a lawful basis to do so.
International data transfers
Some of the third parties we work with may be located outside the UK. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, in line with data protection law. Further details are provided in the International Transfers section of this notice.
Safeguards and controls
Whenever we share personal data with third parties, we ensure that:
- appropriate contractual protections are in place, such as data processing agreements or data sharing agreements
- third parties are required to keep personal data secure and confidential;
- personal data is only used for the specific purposes we have agreed; and
- adequate technical and organisational security measures are applied.
We routinely review our third-party relationships to ensure ongoing compliance with data protection requirements.
If you would like more information
If you would like further information about the third parties we share personal data with, or the safeguards we use, you can contact us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Notice.
We are based in the United Kingdom, but in order to operate our parcel delivery services and support our business operations, it may sometimes be necessary to transfer personal data outside the UK.
Transfers within the UK and European Economic Area (EEA)
Personal data may be transferred within the UK and, where permitted by law, to countries within the European Economic Area (EEA). The UK Government has recognised that EEA countries offer an adequate level of data protection, meaning that personal data can be transferred to these countries without the need for additional safeguards.
Transfers outside the UK and EEA
In certain circumstances, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the UK and the EEA. This may occur, for example, where:
- parcels are delivered internationally
- international delivery or logistics partners and involved;
- IT, technology or support services are provided from overseas; or
- it is otherwise necessary to perform our contract with you or for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice.
Some of these countries may not provide the same level of data protection as the UK.
Safeguards for international transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or EEA and the destination country is not subject to an adequacy decision, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data. These safeguards may include:
- the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses;
- supplementary technical or organisational measures where required; and
- contractual obligations requiring recipients to protect personal data in line with UK data protection standards.
We only transfer personal data internationally where we are satisfied that it will be adequately protected and processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
More information
If you would like further information about international transfers of personal data or the safeguards we use, you can contact us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Notice.
We keep your personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice and in line with applicable legal, regulatory and business requirements.
The length of time we retain personal data depends on factors such as:
- the nature of our relationships with you;
- the purpose for which we collected the data;
- whether we are subject to a legal or regulatory obligation to retain it; and
- whether the data may be required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Standard retention periods
Customer and delivery-related data
In most cases, we retain personal data for up to 13 months after our last interaction with you. This allows us to:
- respond to queries, complaints or claims;
- investigate disputes or delivery issues; and
- meet our operational and customer service requirements.
Recruitment data (job applicants)
Where you apply for a role with us, we typically retain your application data for up to 12 months after your application has been received. This allows us to:
- manage the recruitment process;
- respond to queries or challenges relating to recruitment decisions; and
- consider you for future opportunities, where appropriate.
After this period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised.
If you are successful in your application, your data will be transferred to our HR systems and processed in accordance with our employee privacy notice.
Legal and regulatory retention
Some personal data must be retained for longer periods where required by law, regulation, tax or accounting rules. For example, we may need to retain records relating to:
- financial transactions and payments;
- tax and accounting obligations; or
- regulatory and compliance requirements.
Where a legal obligation applies, we retain personal data for the minimum period required and no longer.
Business and litigation requirements
In certain circumstances, we may retain personal data for longer where it is necessary for legitimate business purposes, such as:
- managing ongoing complaints or investigations;
- responding to regulatory enquiries; or
- preparing for, or defending, actual or potential legal claims.
Where there is a reasonable likelihood of litigation, relevant data may be retained until the matter has been resolved.
Data minimisation and retention controls
We follow a data retention policy which sets out clear rules for how long different types of personal data are kept and when they are securely deleted.
We regularly review the personal data we hold and delete or anonymise it when it is no longer required. We take a data minimisation approach and aim to retain personal data for the shortest period necessary.
Anonymised data
In some cases, we may anonymise personal data so that it can no longer be linked to you. Once anonymised, this data may be used for research, statistical analysis, service improvement and reporting purposes, and may be retained indefinitely.
If you would like more information about our retention periods, you can contact us using the details set out at the end of this Privacy Notice.
We use artificial intelligence (AI) in limited ways to help improve our services, support recruitment processes and carry out certain operational activities. Our use of AI is designed to be responsible, secure and compliant with applicable data protection laws.
Where AI is used:
- people remain responsible for important decisions;
- appropriate human oversight is applied;
- personal data is protected through security and access controls
- personal data is not used to train AI models without appropriate safeguards.
AI helps us improve efficiency, consistency and customer experience, but we do not use AI to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without appropriate human involvement, unless we tell you otherwise.
If you would like more information about how we use AI, please contact us using the details provided in this Privacy Notice.
AI use in recruitment
We use AI‑supported tools to assist with parts of our recruitment process. This helps us manage applications efficiently and fairly.
- Purpose of AI in recruitment
AI tools may be used to review basic information submitted in application forms to support initial screening, such as checking whether minimum role requirements are met. This enables applications to be processed promptly and consistently.
- Human oversight
AI tools do not make final hiring decisions. All applications are ultimately reviewed by a member of the recruitment team or a hiring manager before any decision is taken.
- Data protection
Personal data processed during recruitment is handled in accordance with data protection law and our internal policies. AI tools operate within secure environments, and applicant data is not used to train AI models.
- Your rights
Where AI-supported tools are used, you may have rights in relation to automated processing and to object to certain processing based on legitimate interests. If you have concerns about AI-assisted recruitment processing, please contact us.
Use of AI in service operations
We may also use AI technologies to support operational and compliance‑related activities, such as confirming that images submitted through our services meet required standards.
For example, AI may be used to check safe place photos to ensure they comply with our requirements.
- Safe place photos should not include personal data, such as identifiable individuals or sensitive information.
- Our AI systems are designed to detect images that may contain personal data and remove them from further processing.
- This use of AI is limited to checking compliance and protecting privacy. Images are not used for any other purpose.
Use of personal data in AI systems
We do not authorise the use of Special Category (sensitive) personal data within generative AI systems. This includes data relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data, health data, or data concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation.
Personal data may be processed within AI systems where this is necessary for a defined purpose and permitted by law. Where this occurs:
- processing is limited to what is strictly necessary;
- data is handled within a protected and secure AI environment; and
- personal data is not used to train AI models.
Where possible, we avoid using personal data in AI systems altogether.
Our commitment to responsible AI use
We are committed to ensuring that AI technologies are used responsibly and transparently. This includes:
- limiting AI use to appropriate, clearly defined purposes;
- applying human oversight where decisions affect individuals;
- regularly reviewing AI systems for fairness, accuracy and compliance; and
- respecting and protecting your rights under data protection law.
If you have questions about our use of AI or automated processing, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Notice.
Customer surveys
To help us improve the quality of our services, we may invite you to take part in customer experience surveys. Surveys are voluntary, and only a small proportion of users will be invited to participate.
We use a third‑party provider, Verint, to conduct these surveys on our behalf. You can choose to complete a survey anonymously. If you decide to provide personal data, it will only be used in line with this Privacy Notice and Verint’s own privacy practices.
If you do not wish to take part, you can simply close the survey invitation and continue using our website or services without any impact.
How survey data is collected
If you choose to participate in a survey:
- a session cookie will be placed on your device to allow Verint to interact with you during the survey session. This cookie is deleted when you close your browser; and
- a persistent cookie may be placed on your device to ensure you are not invited to complete the same survey again within a reasonable period. This cookie is deleted after a set expiry date.
All survey responses are submitted directly to Verint. Verint provides Evri with aggregated survey results and will not sell or disclose any personal data collected through surveys to third parties.
Further information about how Verint processes personal data can be found in Verint’s own privacy policy.
International data transfers
Survey data collected by Verint may be hosted in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses, to ensure your data is protected in accordance with data protection law. Further information is available in the International data transfers section of this notice.
Reviews and feedback platforms
We may also invite you to leave a review about our services on third‑party review platforms, such as Trustpilot.
If you choose to participate:
- we may share your email address with the review platform solely for the purpose of sending the review invitation; and
- you can choose whether or not to respond to the invitation.
Review platforms will process your personal data in accordance with their own privacy notices. They will retain your email address only for the purpose of managing the review invitation and related communications.
Rate my Courier emails
After a parcel has been delivered, you may receive a limited number of “Rate My Courier” survey emails inviting you to provide feedback on your delivery experience.
- these emails are sent to the email address provided for delivery updates;
- they are used solely to collect feedback and improve our services;
- they do not contain marketing content; and
- participation is entirely voluntary.
Feedback provided through these surveys is anonymous and is used to help us understand and improve service quality. We may also use this feedback to provide performance insights and feedback to our couriers.
If you choose to leave comments in free‑text fields, we recommend that you do not include any information that could identify you or another individual. This helps us ensure that feedback remains anonymous and protects your privacy.
These communications are sent on the basis of our legitimate interests in improving service quality and customer experience. If you do not wish to take part, you can simply ignore or delete the email.
You also have the right to object to receiving these survey emails. If you exercise this right, we will stop sending them to you. Please note that, depending on your preferences, this may also affect your ability to receive certain service‑related email communications. Further details can be obtained by contacting us.
Data security
You also have the right to object to receiving these survey emails. If you exercise this right, we will stop sending them to you. Please note that, depending on your preferences, this may also affect your ability to receive certain service‑related email communications. Further details can be obtained by contacting us.
Access to personal data is restricted to employees, agents, contractors and third‑party service providers who need it to perform their roles. All such individuals are required to process personal data in accordance with our instructions and are subject to confidentiality obligations.
We have procedures and controls in places to:
- safeguard our systems and data against unauthorised access;
- manage and monitor access to personal data;
- detect, investigate and respond to potential security incidents; and
- ensure personal data is handled securely throughout its lifecycle.
Protecting your information
We use a combination of technical, organisational and physical security measures to protect personal data. These measures include access controls, encryption where appropriate, security monitoring, staff training, incident management processes and regular reviews of our security arrangements. We continually review and improve our controls to help protect the personal data we hold.
Personal data breaches
We have established procedures to deal with any suspected or actual personal data breach.
Where required by law, we will:
- notify the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) without undue delay; and
- inform affected individuals where there is a high risk to their rights and freedoms.
We will also take appropriate steps to contain and mitigate the impact of any breach and to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Your legal rights
You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data under data protection law. These rights are explained below.
You have the right to:
Access your personal data
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and check that we are processing it lawfully.
Correct inaccurate data
You can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. In some cases, you may also be able to update your details through your account.
Request deletion of your data
You can ask us to delete your personal data where there is no valid reason for us to continue processing it. Please note that we may not always be able to fulfil your request where we are required to retain data for legal or regulatory reasons.
Object to processing
You can object to our use of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests, if you believe this impacts your rights and freedoms. We will consider your request and balance it against our legitimate grounds for processing.
Restrict processing
You can ask us to limit how we use your personal data in certain situations, for example:
- while we verify its accuracy;
- where you believe the use is unlawful but do not want us to delete it;
- where you need the data for legal claims; or
- where you have objected and we are considering your request.
Data portability
You can request that we transfer your personal data to you or a third party in a structured, commonly used and machine‑readable format, where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
Withdraw consent
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. In some cases, this may mean we are unable to continue providing certain services.
Opt out of marketing
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or updating your preferences.
Complaints about how we use your personal data
If you have any concerns about how we use your personal data, we encourage you to contact us in the first instance so we can investigate and try to resolve the issue. You can file a complaint with us through our contact form:
Submit a data protection complaint
Under applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (and, where relevant, obligations set out under the Data Use and Access Act), you have the right to raise a complaint about how your personal data has been processed or handled.
We will review your complaint in line with our internal procedures and aim to respond as quickly as possible.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters.
You can contact the ICO at:
- Website: https://www.ico.org.uk
- Telephone: 0303 123 1113
- Our ICO Registration Number is Z4921268
We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach the ICO.
Exercising your rights
You can exercise your rights by contacting us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Notice.
You will not normally have to pay a fee to exercise your rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request if it is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We may also ask for additional information to help us respond more quickly.
Responding to your request
We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month of receipt. In some cases, for example where a request is complex or you have made multiple requests, it may take us longer to respond. Where this applies, we will inform you and keep you updated on progress.
To help us process requests efficiently and securely, we may use appropriate tools and technologies, such as systems designed to assist with locating, organising, deduplicating and redacting personal data. These tools are used to support our obligations under data protection law while ensuring your information is handled accurately and securely.
