Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), the legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it. We will only use your personal data where we have a valid legal basis to do so.

 

We may process your Personal Data in the following circumstances:

  • You have given us permission to do so

  • To comply with the law

 

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your Personal Data although we will get your consent if you sign up to direct marketing communications via email or text message and you are not an existing customer of ours. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in our communications.

 

Where we need to collect Personal Data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with services). In this case, we may have to cancel the service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
