How we use your informationThe following paragraphs set out why we are processing your information, what information we collect, the legal basis for and duration of our processing of your information, and who your information will be shared with and (if outside the EEA) where those recipients are based.
Which information do we process and for what purpose?
Information you give us. Any information you give us when you ask us to provide goods or services to you, or when you agree to provide goods or services to us, or when you otherwise interact with us, including names, addresses, email addresses, social media account names, proof of identity and photographs.

To notify you about changes to our product and service offerings.
Information we collect about you. Each time you visit our site, like most other website operators, we collect non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available. This includes technical information, such as your IP address and information about your visit, such as records of how you navigate the pages on our site and how you interact with the pages.
We process information we collect about you for the following purposes:
To improve our services; and
To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
What are the grounds for processing your information?Information provided to us by your employer or you:
The processing is necessary for the performance of the contract for the supply of goods and/or services between you or your employer and us. This includes where you or your employer have instructed us to take some pre-contractual steps (such as providing you or your employer with a quotation for our products or services) prior to us formalising the contract;
Where the processing relates to email or text marketing communications sent by us, we will have obtained your prior consent. You can opt out of these communications at any time by following the steps set out in the marketing communication or by contacting us using the details set out in paragraph 8 below; and
