We may send you direct marketing communications (via email, post, or telephone) about products and services we feel may be of interest to you.  You can choose not to receive direct marketing communications from us at any stage.  Where you opt-in to the receipt of newsletters and other content via email we may include first and third-party advertisements, some of which may be personalised, based upon our profile of you as a customer.  The personal data provided at opt-in for newsletters and accounts may also be used to enhance our profile of you, and further improve the relevance of any content which you receive across our channels and customer touchpoints.

Digital advertising helps us to fund the news articles and content published on our Sites and enables us to provide some of our content for free. We and our third-party ad partners may display digital advertising on our Sites that is tailored to your interests and preferences so the online adverts you see are more relevant to you.

We work with a number of third-party ad partners to deliver digital advertising on our Sites, and we use cookies and other personal information to personalise the advertising that you see, such as your email address, postcode, and other observed browsing behaviour.  We do not share identifiable information about you with our third-party ad partners.    Where we share, match, and use data for this purpose it is always pseudonymised beforehand, which means it is converted into a hashed series of numbers and letters to protect your identity.

Where we use cookies on our Sites for advertising purposes, we will always ask for prior consent and where you provide your consent the cookie information will be used along with other information we hold about you to display digital advertising that is more relevant to you.   It is important to note, however, that where you do not provide your consent for digital adverting you will still see digital advertising on our Sites, but this will not be tailored to your interests and preferences.

We will conduct analytics and modelling to identify trends and assess our performance and internal processes.  We may disclose the insight we gain through such analysis to other businesses e.g., to demonstrate patterns of use to third-party ad partners and others. However, any information shared is either aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised.

Where permitted by applicable laws, where you interact with us, we may monitor, record, and retain all associated correspondence and communications, such as written letters, telephone call recordings, emails, text messages, social media messages, in person meetings and any other communications.  We will do this to, (i) comply with our legal and regulatory obligations (ii), prevent, or detect crime (iii), maintain appropriate evidential records (iv), protect the security of our communications systems and (v) for training and quality purposes.

We will use your information to monitor and manage data security and the security of our Sites and networks.

We will use your personal information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations and monitor compliance with the same across our business.  Where necessary, we will also use your personal information to defend ourselves from any legal claims brought by you in connection with the provision of our products and services.

We will also use personal information to manage and administer our business generally.

HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN YOUR DATA FOR?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

In general, we keep these personal information of yours for as long as we need it for the purpose for which it was collected, plus a short additional period in case of problems. How long we keep it therefore varies according to the type of information it is and why we have it, and will range from a few days or weeks to, in some cases, several years. We have established a full data retention policy and can provide further information on request.

RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have the right to request and to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
