Marketing 

If we intend to use your personal information for certain types of marketing or other purposes where your consent is required, we will ask for specific consent for the intended purpose. Whenever we seek your consent, we will explain how we intend to use your information. Consent will require a positive affirmation from you, generally in the form of an opt-in such as ticking an agreement box. 

We may send you marketing material or information where there is a legitimate interest to do so, for example, if you have an existing relationship with us such as an annual membership. Such processing does not require opt-in consent but your right to object remains, you can do this by contacting us with the contact details given at the end.

We may market to you via email, phone or post. We may also use third-party advertisers such as META (Facebook), for matching purposes to enable us to send you marketing material via social media.  We will do this where we have your consent to do so, or where there is a legitimate interest for us to do so. Legitimate Interests can be your own interests or the interests of third parties. They can include commercial interests, individual interests or broader societal benefits.

Should you wish to stop receiving marketing material you will be given the chance to opt-out. If you tell us you don’t want to receive marketing messages it might take a few days for all our systems to be updated, so we will ask for your patience if you receive messages from us whilst we process your request. Please note that opting out of marketing messages will not stop service communications.
