We may process your data and contact you directly for electronic marketing purposes regarding our own products and services. We will not contact you on behalf of third parties unless they are a supplier of products or services to us which we then market to you or unless there is some contractual or legal reason for doing so. In all such cases we will only do so where we have assessed there is a legitimate reason which may be in the interests of either or both of us, which will generally be on one or more of the following bases:

• If you are an individual working for a “corporate body”, such as a company, limited liability partnership or an official organisation with whom we have an existing business relationship covering similar products and services, we will process your data and continue to contact you electronically on the basis of legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation), and where we always provide you with the opportunity to easily opt out of receiving similar future marketing communications.
• If you are a sole trader, individual or partner in a small enterprise who is an existing customer where we have obtained your details direct from you during the course of a previous sale or negotiations for a sale; we are marketing similar products; and where you have had the opportunity to easily opt out, we will process your data and continue to contact you electronically on the basis of “Soft opt-in” (under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) and where we always provide you with the opportunity to easily opt out of receiving similar future marketing communications.
• If you are an individual working for a corporate body, or are a sole trader, individual, or a partner in a small enterprise who does not meet the criteria for legitimate interest or soft opt-in, we will only contact you electronically where you have specifically given us your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulations) and where we always provide you with the opportunity to easily opt out of receiving similar future marketing communications. You may give consent in a number of ways, for example if you contact us verbally or in writing to request marketing information or if you complete and submit an online enquiry to us via our website or other means.

We use a third party service to administer our mailing list. Information you submit will be stored on our third party mailing list provider’s servers within the European Economic Area or in the USA
