The information we collect is required to manage user accounts and facilitate user’s use of the site.

We may, however, on occasion, be legally required to share data with regulatory bodies, including the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Should we use users’ data in this way, we will offer a specific opt-in to receiving future direct marketing communications to gain explicit user consent and enable users to have control over the ways in which we communicate with them and use their data for marketing purposes.
