We use your personal information to respond to correspondence, to customise content and to operate, improve, promote and protect our website.

In most cases the legal basis will be to meet our legitimate interests, for example to perform accounting and administrative tasks, enforce or manage legal claims, to send you technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages.

When we process personal information to meet our legitimate interests, we put in place robust safeguards to ensure that your privacy is protected and to ensure that our legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. We may obtain your explicit consent to collect and use certain types of personal information when we are required to do so by law (for example, in relation to our direct contact activities). If we ask for your consent to process your personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Policy.
