We take every reasonable precaution to ensure compliance with UK Data Protection Law. Further information about Your rights is available from the Information Commissioner's Office at www.ico.org.uk.

5. What information do You hold about me?
We collect three categories of personal information about You: Identifiable Information, Anonymous Information and Lifestyle Information.
- Identifiable Information means any information from which You can be personally identified — for example, Your name, address, date of birth and email address.
- Anonymous Information means information that does not identify You personally but categorises You into groups — for example age group, gender, marital status and income.
- Lifestyle Information means information about Your way of life and interests, which helps Us understand You better.
Together We call this 'Personal Information'. We do not collect or hold any health, financial or credit details pertaining to You or any individual.
6. Where is Your personal information held?
The personal information We collect is held on Our database on secure servers. We use a variety of physical and network security technologies and procedures to help protect Your information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure, and only a limited number of people in Our organisation have access to it.

We only ever work with Data Contributors that operate within UK Data Protection Law and are registered with the ICO at the time of purchase.
You have the right under UK Data Protection Law to opt out of receiving marketing material at any time — see sections 11 and 12 below.

10. Marketing Service Providers
Where We do share Your data with Marketing Service Providers, they may combine it with data from other sources to create predictive models, helping organisations understand their customers, improve marketing relevance, and validate/update the accuracy of the data they hold (for example, checking whether You have moved address).
Your data may be shared, via Our getya-branded websites, with the following Marketing Service Providers. To understand more about their use of Your data, and how to exercise Your data protection rights with them (including how to opt out), please see their own privacy policies:
- Experian Ltd — www.experian.co.uk/privacy/consumer-information-portal
- Sagacity Solutions Ltd — www.mydatachoices.co.uk/Privacy
In sharing data with Marketing Service Providers, We rely on the lawful basis of legitimate interest, as Our business depends on the ability to partner with third parties who process personal data for marketing-related purposes.
| Purpose | Legal basis — Us | Legal basis — third parties |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing — by email | Consent | Legitimate Interest / Consent, where the organisation is in a named business category above |

11. What if I don't want to receive any more information from You?
You can opt out at any time of Us holding Your personal information on Our database by emailing compliance@datazip.co.uk with "Opt-Out" in the subject line.
We call this process suppression — standard marketing industry practice approved by the ICO, meaning just enough information about You is retained to ensure Your wishes are respected and Your details are not reintroduced to Our database in future. Marketing communications should stop within a maximum of 28 days for electronic communications and two months for postal communications.
12. What other rights do I have?
- The right to withdraw consent to processing at any time, including processing based on legitimate interests;

Where We hold an email address for You, We will maintain regular contact and ensure You have the opportunity to opt out at least once every six months. Our backup policy is to back up data daily, with one monthly backup retained offsite for six months before secure deletion.
