In each case, in accordance with this privacy policy.

Why do we collect such information and how do we use it?

We collect such non-personal and personal information for the following purposes:

To provide and operate our products and services.
To improve our products and services.
To provide our users with ongoing customer assistance and support.
To contact in order to supply, or upon the submission of a request to supply, quotes and further information.

For the delivery of direct marketing to you via e-mail, we'll need your consent, whether via an ‘opt-in’ or ‘soft-opt-in’. Soft opt-in consent is a specific type of consent which applies when you have previously engaged with us (for example, you contact us to ask us for more details about a particular product/service, and we are marketing similar products/services). Under ‘soft opt-in’ consent, we will take your consent as given unless you opt-out. For other types of e-marketing, we are required to obtain your explicit consent; that is, you need to take positive and affirmative action when consenting by, for example, checking a tick box that we'll provide.

If you are not satisfied about our approach to marketing, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. To find out how to withdraw your consent, see the ‘your rights’ section below.
