How do we use your personal information?
We take data protection law seriously, so we have set out below exactly how and why we use your
information, and what our legal basis is to be able to use your information in each way.
Supplying our products and providing our services
It is necessary for us to use personal information about you to enter into and perform the
contracts that we make with you, such as when you become a customer. Using your information in
this context is necessary so that we can:
-
Provide you with information about your contract with us
-
Provide you with information about our products and services
-
Verify your identity
-
Deal with any complaints you may have
-
Contact you about any changes that we make to our products or services
-
Administer our website, including troubleshooting problems, analysing statistics, conducting
research and tests and keeping the site secure
If you enquire about, or apply for, a job vacancy, it is necessary for us to use your personal
information as part of the recruitment process, in order to assess your suitability for a
particular role.
Telling you about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you
We may use your information to identify and tell you about our products or services that we
think may be of interest to you. We will only do this where you have informed us that you would
like to receive marketing communications.
We may also use your information to invite you to participate in market research. If we do
contact you about market research, you do not have to participate. If you tell us that you do
not want to receive market research communications, we will respect this.
Whether you choose to receive marketing communications, or market research communications is
entirely up to you. You can choose to receive both, none, or just one or the other. Your choice
will not affect any products or services that you have purchased from us, nor will it affect any
quotes for products or services you buy in future.
You can update your preferences by using the links in any of our emails to you, or by getting in
touch using the Contact Details section, below.
Telling you about products or services that are similar to ones that you have already
bought
If you have already bought a service from us, or you have already obtained a quote from us, we
may contact you with some information about services that are similar.
We will only contact you by email or text message and you can choose not to receive these
messages at any time. Simply follow the instructions in the message, or get in touch using our
website.
Making our business better
We always want to offer the best products, services and experience that we can. Sometimes this
means we may use your information to find ways that we can improve what we do, or how we do it.
In this context, we will only use you information where it is necessary so that we can:
-
Review and improve our existing products and services and develop new ones
-
Review and improve the performance of our systems, processes and staff (including training)
-
Improve our site to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you
and for your computer
-
measure and understand the effectiveness of advertising we serve to you and others, and to
deliver relevant advertising to you
Contacting you
We want to stay in touch with you. Sometimes, we may need to use the information that we have
about you in order to respond to your questions or let you know about important changes.
We will only use your information in this respect where it is necessary so that we can:
-
Interact and respond to any communications you send us, including where you use the Contact
Details, and any social media posts that you tag us in
-
Let you know about any important changes to our business or policies
Verifying your identity
We may use your information where it is necessary for us to do so in order to meet our legal
obligations or to detect and prevent fraud, money-laundering and other crimes.
Protecting you and others from harm
We may use your information where it is necessary to protect your interests, or the interests of
others. This may include in the event of criminality such as identity theft, piracy or fraud.
We need all the categories of information listed above to allow us:
-
to enter into and perform our contract with you;
-
to enable us to comply with legal obligations; and
-
to pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties (provided your interests
and fundamental rights do not override those interests).
Change of purpose
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we
reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with
the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we
will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in
compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

What rights do you have in respect of your personal information?
You have the right to be informed
We have a legal obligation to provide you with concise, transparent, intelligible and easily

you
require further copies, we may charge an administrative fee to cover our costs.
You have the right to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data
