The personal data we collect:

We also collect, use and share “Aggregated Data” e.g. statistical or demographic data. “Aggregated Data” may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. However, if we combine or connect “Aggregated Data” with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat this data as personal which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

​

​

Failure to provide personal data:

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when we ask for it, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to establish with you. If this is the case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us.
