Nevertheless, you have an absolute right to opt-out of direct marketing, or profiling we carry out for direct marketing at any time. You can do this by following the instructions in the communication where this is an electronic message, or by contacting us using the details set out below.
When you give consent, you are able to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us. If you do so we can only continue to use your data if another legal basis applies, such as when we’re required to do something by law.

In the event that the business is sold or integrated with another business, your details will be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser’s adviser and will be passed to the new owners of the business, in which case you will be notified.

Data Retention
We keep information on active subscribers until you advise us you no longer wish to receive notifications from us.
Customer interactions are stored, depending on the nature of the interaction and any applicable law. We look to keep information for the minimum time in line with data protection principles and our processes.

Your rights

You can object to us processing your data. You can ask for a copy to be sent in structured digital format or ask for us to send it to another party.
Some rights may however be limited, for example we may be obliged by law to keep information, and as we have to respect other people’s privacy so we may not be able to meet your request where that would reveal personal data about someone else. Sometimes there may be a compelling legitimate interest to keep processing data.
To process a request from you, we will need to confirm your identity to ensure we’re accessing the right data.
