MARKETING SERVICE PROVIDERS

We will share your data with the Marketing Services Providers listed below, who will use it for a variety of direct marketing, testing, research & product development purposes. Marketing Services Providers carry out data profiling. They will combine your data with data they get from other sources (including public sources) and use it to create “predictive models”. Marketing Services Providers use these models to try to predict behaviour and preferences (e.g. how likely you are to buy a holiday online or take a particular type of holiday) or likely circumstances (e.g. whether you are eligible for a particular credit card).

Marketing Services Providers will also try to match and then link your data with data that they receive about you from other sources, to make sure that the data they hold about you is correct (e.g. to check whether you have recently moved address).

They share your data, including the profiled data they have created about you, primarily to:

  • help organisations better understand the likely characteristics of their customers (and find others like them);
  • improve the relevancy and appropriateness of an organisation’s marketing to its customers (e.g. offers, its products and services); and
  • help them communicate with their customers more effectively offline and online. This may mean that you receive tailored advertising via direct mail or when you visit a website.

ESB Connect provides email marketing and customer acquisition service. They provide the CRM and Email marketing platform which we utilise to send our email. ESB Connect acts as a data processor in all circumstance and will process the data under our instructions. If you explicitly consented, ESB Connect LTD under the brand Opt-me-in.com will also act as a data controller. To view their privacy policy, please see here: http://privacy.esbconnect.com/

HOW WE MAY CONTACT YOU

Service communications

If you have given us explicit consent to do so, we may additionally send you communication purely featuring content from brands and partners we work with which we believe is relevant to you, in this case your permission would have been gained. Depending on your marketing preferences, this may be by email, phone, SMS or post.

You can decide not to receive these emails at any time and will be able to “unsubscribe” directly by clicking a link in the email or via emailing [email protected]

Market research

Sometimes we may contact you for market research purposes, for example about a survey. You can opt out from being contacted in this way by emailing [email protected]
