Online Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising

Through our website, certain third parties, such as Google, may collect information about your online activities to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your individual interests.  Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent for the processing of your personal information for such marketing purposes. Online advertising networks use information they collect to show adverts that may be tailored to individuals’ interests, to track users’ browsers or devices across multiple websites and apps, and to build a profile of users’ online browsing and app usage activities. This data collection takes place on third-party websites and apps that participate in the advertising networks.

If you want to opt out of interest-based advertising you can update your choices here or click the AdChoices icon in an advert and follow the instructions.  You may also opt out of interest-based adverts from many sites through the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) Opt Out Tool including specifically in the UK. You may also go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. If you delete cookies, use a different device, or change web browsers, you may need to opt out again.

Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean that you will no longer see adverts. It just means that your personal information will not be used and that any advertising you see will not be customised for you.

We may use the personal information we obtain through our website to:

• personalise your experience on our website,

If your personal information is used in any other ways, we will provide you with specific notice of this at the time of collection or ensure that we have your consent.

We do not disclose personal information we obtain about you, except as described in this website privacy notice.

We may share your personal information with partner agencies and service providers who perform services on our behalf – such as hosting our website or data analytics.  This is only done for the purposes described in this website privacy notice. We do not authorise our service providers to use or disclose the information that we collect except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements.

We also may disclose information about you:

• if we are required to do so by law or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena),

• to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights,
• when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical or other harm or financial loss,
• in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity,
• in the event we sell or transfer all, or a portion of, our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganisation, dissolution or liquidation).

We offer you certain choices in connection with the personal information we obtain about you. To update your preferences, update or correct your information, limit the communications you receive from us, or submit a request, please contact us directly.  You can also unsubscribe from our mailing list by following the “Unsubscribe” link in our emails.
