Data privacy and protection is very important to us for everyone who uses our products and services, and who entrusts us with their information. We have written this privacy notice so you can better understand how we collect data, what we do with it and how we look after it. We will tell you how long we keep data and what happens when we no longer need it. We will also outline what rights you have over your data and how we protect and facilitate those rights.<\/p>\n
Opting in and out of communications made easy
\nSometimes people want to read privacy notices because a business is asking for their permission to contact them for marketing. They want to be sure that, if they agree, it will be easy for them to withdraw permission in the future. We want you to be able to opt out as easily as you opted in. Any marketing email we send you will always have an \u201cunsubscribe\u201d link that will take you off that relevant marketing list. Please remember that you may have subscribed from another email address; you will only be able to use the link to \u201cunsubscribe\u201d from the address to which the marketing email has been sent.
\nIf you want to change the preferences you have with us for email, you can use our online form here.<\/p>\n
