Non-personalised marketing is marketing that is not tailored to you.</p> <p>Where we are sending you personalised marketing, we may also use Profile Data, Transaction Data and Behavioural Data to help us decide what sort of personalised marketing to send you (please see the “<b>Insight, Data Analytics and retargeting through Cookies</b>” section for more details).</p> <p><b><i>Our legal basis for processing</i></b></p> <p>It is in our legitimate interest to use your personal data for marketing purposes, for example to decide what marketing content we think may appeal to you.</p> <p>It is in our legitimate interest to use your personal data to send our marketing to you by post.</p> <p>We will only send marketing communications to you by email and/or SMS where you have consented to receive such content by email and/or SMS, or where we have another lawful right to send marketing to you using email and/or SMS. For example, in certain circumstances we may rely on our legitimate interest to send marketing by email and/or SMS to consumers who have purchased our products and Services. We may also rely on our legitimate interest to send marketing by email and/or SMS to certain business users of our sites and our products and Services.</p> <h3><b>Online personalised advertising:</b></h3> <p>We and our third party partners may use your Behavioural Data and Technical Data and other data that is collected through your interactions with third party websites and services to provide you with, and analyse the effectiveness of, personalised ads when you visit other websites and/or use other services (including the social media and other platforms described in the “<b>Marketing via third party channels</b>” section below).</p> <p>By “personalised ads”, we mean advertisements for products and services that you have shown an interest in when you have used our Site or which we or our partners otherwise think you might be interested in based on your browsing habits.

This is known as “custom audience” advertising, because we “customise” the audience that we want to reach on the relevant service.</p> <p>Some of the advertising that you see may be personalised to you.

When we share personal data with others, we put contractual arrangements and security mechanisms in place to protect the personal data shared and to comply with our data protection, confidentiality and security standards and obligations. Please note, the list below is non-exhaustive and there may be circumstances where we need to share personal data with other third parties:</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Third-party suppliers who provide applications/ functionality, data processing or IT services</b></td> <td>We share personal data with third parties who support us in providing our Site and help provide, run and manage our internal IT systems.

In addition, all our employees and data processors (i.e. those who process your personal data on our behalf) are obliged to respect the confidentiality of the personal data of all users of our sites and those who purchase our products and Services.</p> <p><b>Other websites</b></p> <p>Please note that clicking on links and advertisements on our sites could result in you being transferred to another website, where data privacy practices vary from ours. If transferred to another website you should consult their privacy policy as we are not responsible for, and have no control over, information that is submitted to or collected by these third parties.</p> <h2 id="section-07">HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?</h2> <p>We are required by law to keep certain information about our customers (such as financial and transaction related data) for seven years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. We may then destroy such files without further notice or liability.</p> <p>If any personal data is only useful for a short period (e.g. for a specific activity, promotion or marketing campaign), we will not retain it for longer than the period for which it is used by us.</p> <p>If you have opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, we will need to retain certain personal data on a suppression list indefinitely so that we know not to send you further marketing communications in the future. However, we will not use this personal data to send you further marketing unless you subsequently opt back in to receive such marketing.</p> <p>Our data retention periods depend on the context of the services that we provide to you and our legal obligations. To determine the appropriate period for which we keep your data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your data, the potential risk or harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process that data (and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means), and applicable legal requirements.</p> <h2 id="section-08">INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS</h2> <p>We are based in the UK and seek to keep your data within the UK and/or European Economic Area (EEA). In some instances we will transfer your data to our Group Companies located outside the UK and/or EEA. Many of our third party service providers and partners are based outside the UK and/or EEA, or use servers located outside of the UK and/or EEA for the purposes of storing and processing data, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK and/or EEA.</p> <p>Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and/or EEA, we will comply with our legal and regulatory obligations in relation to your personal data, including having a lawful basis for transferring personal data and putting appropriate safeguards in place to ensure an adequate level of protection for the personal data. We will take reasonable steps to ensure the security of your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. When transferring your personal data outside the UK or the EEA, we will, where required by applicable law, implement at least one of the safeguards set out below. Please contact us if you would like further information on the specific mechanisms used by us when transferring your personal data outside the UK or the EEA:</p> <ul> <li><b>Adequacy decision</b>: The data is transferred to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en">https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en</a>.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Model clauses</b>: We have used specific contracts approved by the European Commission in our arrangement with the third party, which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en.</li> </ul> <h2 id="section-09">YOUR RIGHTS</h2> <p>You have certain rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you, which we detail below. Certain rights only apply in specific circumstances as set out in more detail below. We also set out how to exercise those rights. When you exercise your rights, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.</p> <p>You may have the right to:</p> <ul> <li><b>Request access </b>to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Request correction </b>of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. If we have shared your personal data with others, we’ll let them know about the rectification where possible. If you ask us, where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you who we’ve shared your personal data with so that you can contact them.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Request erasure </b>of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data in some circumstances, such as where we no longer need it or where you withdraw your consent (where applicable). You also have the right to ask us to delete personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below). Note, however, that we are not always able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we will also tell you who we have shared your personal data with so that you can contact them directly.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Object to processing </b>of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes (more information on your marketing choices can be found in the <b>Marketing</b> section above). In certain cases, we will demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Request restriction of processing </b>of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in in certain circumstances such as where you contest the accuracy of that personal data or you object to us processing it for a particular purpose. This may not mean that we will stop storing your personal data but, where we do keep it, we will tell you if we remove any restriction that we have placed on your personal data to stop us processing it further. If we’ve shared your personal data with others, we’ll let them know about the restriction where it is possible for us to do so. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal data with so that you can contact them directly.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Request the transfer </b>of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Not to be subject to a decision when it is based on automatic processing, including profiling,</b> if it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for the entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Withdraw consent at any time </b>where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. You can exercise your right of withdrawal by contacting us using our contact details in the “<a href="https://nmenetworks.com/policies/nme-networks-privacy-policy/#section-11">How to Contact Us</a>” section or by using any other opt-out mechanism we may provide, such as an unsubscribe link in an email.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Make a complaint. </b>If you have a concern about any aspect of our privacy practices, including the way we have handled your personal data, please contact us using the contact details provided in the “How to Contact Us” section. You can also report any issues or concerns to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the supervisory authority for data protection issues in the UK.</li> </ul> <p>If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details provided in the <a href="https://nmenetworks.com/policies/nme-networks-privacy-policy/#section-11"><b>How to contact us</b></a> section below.</p> <h2 id="section-10">CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY</h2> <p>We keep this Privacy Policy under review and will update it from time to time to reflect changes in our privacy practices.
