Do I have to provide you with my personal data? What happens if I don’t?
In order to provide you with Services you will need to provide us with certain information so that we can process your data in a lawful way. In addition, we may contact you by post, telephone, SMS text message, digital messaging application or email.

The third parties may contact you by post, telephone, automated voice message, SMS text message and email with details of offers and services which may be of interest to you (for further details and if applicable, consult the privacy policies of the third parties). We use the information you provide to us to create a profile for you, which is used to tailor marketing information you receive to that which may be the most relevant to you.
