The 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: Identity Data (first name, last name, title, date of birth and gender); Contact Data (address, email address and telephone numbers); Transaction Data (details about payments to and from you); Technical Data (IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location); Profile Data (preferences, feedback and survey responses); Usage Data (information about how you use our website and services); and Marketing and Communications Data (your preferences in receiving marketing from us).
How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, or where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased services from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
