This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you.You will receive marketing communications from us if you have 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.
  • Third-party marketing
    We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside the company group of companies for marketing purposes.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
