This privacy notice supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.

The personal data we collect about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Name and contact details – this includes your name, title, address, email address, and telephone numbers.

  • Payment information – This includes your bank account and/or payment card details.

  • Marketing preferences – this includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.

  • Customer service history – this includes interactions with us over the phone, via the website, or on social media.

  • Information about your device and how you use our websites and apps – this includes information you give us when you browse our websites, including your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types, and versions, operating system, and platform, as well as how you use our websites.

We also collect, use, and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

 

If you don’t provide personal data

You don’t have to give us any of your personal data but, if you don’t, you are unlikely to receive our optimal customer service experience. Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you, (for example).
