As used in this Policy, “Personal Data” includes any information which, either alone or in combination with other information we hold about you, identifies you as an individual, including, for example, your name, postal address, email address and telephone number.
Why do we need your Personal Data? We will only process your Personal Data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. We need certain Personal Data in order to provide you with access to the Site and Services. If you created a profile/registered with us, you will have been asked to check a tick box indicating your agreement to provide this data in order to access our Services and/or view our content. This consent provides us with the legal basis we require under applicable law to process your Personal Data. You maintain the right to withdraw such consent at any time. If you do not agree to our use of your Personal Data in line with this policy, please do not use our Site or Services.
Sensitive Personal Data. Subject to the following paragraph, we ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any Sensitive Personal Data (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the [Site/Services] or otherwise to us.
