This section explains how and why we share personal data with Partners and Service Providers.

When we share personal data with these companies we require them to keep it safe, and they must not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes.

Partners and Service Providers

We work with carefully selected Service Providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf. These include, for example, companies that help us with technology services, storing, combining and analyzing data, processing payments, provide us with legal or other professional services as well as delivering orders. We only share personal data that enable our Service Providers to provide their services.

Some of the Service Providers we work with operate online media channels, and they place relevant online advertising for our products and services, as well as those of our suppliers and our Partners, on those online media channels on our behalf. For example, you may see an advert for our products and services as you use a particular social media site or watch television through your pay TV account.

Examples of our Service Providers include Facebook, Google, and Stripe.

This section explains how and why we share personal data with other organisations.

We may share personal data with other organisations in the following circumstances:

• if the law or a public authority says we must share the personal data or for the administration of justice;
• if we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud);
• where we restructure, sell or transfer our business (or a part of it). For example in connection with a takeover or merger.

We will not keep your personal data longer than we need to, how long this is depends on several factors, including:

• Why we collected it in the first place;
• How old it is;
• Whether there is a legal/regulatory reason for us to keep it;
• Whether we need it to protect you or us.

This section explains the choices you have when it comes to receiving marketing communications and taking part in market research.

We will send you relevant offers and news about our products and services in a number of ways including by email, but only if you have previously agreed to receive these marketing communications. When you register with us we will ask if you would like to receive marketing communications, and you can change your marketing choices at anytime online, over the phone or in writing.

We also like to hear your views to help us to improve our Services, so we may contact you for market research purposes. You always have the choice about whether to take part in our market research.
