This notice explains how we do this and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

Our privacy promise

We promise:

  • To keep your data safe and private
  • Not to sell your data or share it with 3rd parties without gaining prior consent to do so

How the law protects you

As well as our privacy promise, your privacy is protected by law. This section explains how that works.

Data protection law says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:

  • To fulfil a contract we have with you, or
  • When it is our legal duty, or
  • When it is in our legitimate interest, or
  • When you consent to it.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is.

Here is a list of all the ways that we may use your personal information, and which of the reasons we rely on to do so. This is also where we tell you what our legitimate interests are.
