Our web pages and emails contain web beacons or “pixel tags”. Web beacons and pixel tags allow us to count users that have visited a web page or opened an email and collect other types of aggregate information. By using this information, we are able to measure the effectiveness of our content and how visitors use our Site (and use this information to improve the Site). This allows us to learn what pages are most attractive to our visitors (anonymously), which parts of our Site are the most interesting and what kind of information users like to see.

Some of the web beacons that are placed on our Sites are used only by us, and other web beacons are used by our service providers on our behalf to analyse how our Site is being used. Once you click on an email that contains a web beacon, your contact information is subsequently cross-referenced to the source e-mail and the relevant web beacon or pixel tag information.

6. HOW DO WE OBTAIN YOUR CONSENT?

Where our use of your personal information requires your consent, you can provide such consent at the time we collect your personal information following the instructions provided; or by informing us by email, post or phone using the contact details set out in this privacy notice.

8. THIRD PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES

It is likely that the Site will contain links to third party websites and services. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Site to another website or you request a service from a third party, this privacy notice no longer applies. This privacy notice applies solely to personal information collected by us through our Site and Functionality and does not apply to these third party websites and third party service providers.

9. TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EEA

We do not transfer your personal information outside of the EEA.

10. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

We do not keep your personal information for any specific period but we will not keep it for longer than is necessary for our purposes.

If your information is only useful for a short period e.g. for specific campaigns, we will delete it.

11. CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We are committed to keeping the personal information you provide us secure and we will take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or alteration. All our employees and data processors (i.e. those who process your personal information on our behalf, for the purposes listed above), who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal information, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of the personal information of all users of the Site.

d) Your right to restrict processing
You can ask us to ‘block’ or suppress the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances such as where you contest the accuracy of that personal information or object to us processing it. It won’t stop us from storing your personal information though. We’ll tell you before we lift any restriction. If we’ve shared your personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the restriction where possible. If you ask us, where possible and lawful to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.

g) Your rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it’s based on automatic processing, including profiling, and it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us. You have the right to obtain human intervention and point of view, and to contest the decision.
