Information We Collect

We and our service providers collect information that you provide us, including without limitation, via email, via telephone, in person, or when you log in to and use our Services. As an example, when you contact us and provide your name and email address, we will store and process that information and any other information you provide. We may also receive your personal information from other sources, for example, publicly available databases, or joint marketing partners, when they share the information with us.

We need to collect personal information in order to provide the requested Services to you. If you do not provide the information requested, we may not be able to provide the Services. If you disclose any personal information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

We and our service providers also automatically collect certain technical information from the device(s) you use to access our Website over time and across different devices such as your IP address, your ISP provider, your browser type, the pages you view on the Website, the pages you view immediately before and after you access the Website, date/time stamps, and the search terms you enter on the Website. We and third parties, including our service providers, collect this information using “cookies”, web beacons, and similar technologies. For more information about these technologies, please see our Cookies & Similar Technologies Notice.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Identification and Authentication: We may use your information to verify your identity when you communicate with us and to secure your personal information. It is in our legitimate business interests to authenticate the identity of individuals using our Services.
Improving our Website: We analyze information about how you use our Website to provide an improved experience for all of our Website users. It is in our legitimate business interests to use the information provided to us for this purpose, so we can understand any issues with our Website and improve them.
Communicating with You: We may use your personal information when we communicate with you—for example if you contact us with questions. Except in cases where we are required to obtain your consent, it is in our legitimate interest that we are able to provide you with appropriate responses.
Exercising our Rights: We may use your personal information to exercise our legal rights as provided to us by applicable law and where it is in our legitimate interests and necessary to do so, for example, to detect, prevent, and respond to fraud claims, intellectual property infringement claims, or violations of law or misuse of our information or our Website.
Aggregating and/or anonymizing personal information: We may aggregate and/or anonymize personal information so that it will no longer be considered personal information. We do so to generate other data for our use, which we may use and disclose for any purpose, as it no longer identifies you or any other individual.

For a full list of countries (or portions thereof) covered by a UK adequacy regulation, see this webpage (specifically, Question 1). In order to provide additional protection for your information, in certain circumstances, we have put in place appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses for transfers of data to countries not considered adequate by the relevant data protection regulator.
