The data will also allow us to understand what your needs and wants are, provide personalised content and match the most relevant adverts and services for you. It also allows us to provide many great, targeted member offers and services that we know you may be interested to hear about.

Who is the Data Controller?

When you provide personal information to Cornish Cribs the data controller is Cornish Cribs.

If another company is the data controller, this will be made clear when you provide your personal information.

How we use personal data

The data controller will use your information together with other information for administration (including providing any goods, services or information you have requested), marketing, customer services and profiling your preferences. We will disclose your information to our service providers and agents for these purposes only.

Consent

By submitting a form with your personal information to us, you consent to:

a) our processing your personal data for the above purposes.

When you give us your personal information, we will give you the opportunity to opt in to receive information by e-mail and will only send it to you if you do opt in or if you are an existing customer and the information relates to similar goods or services to those, which you have previously purchased from us. When we send you communications by e-mail, we will give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such communications from us. It is not our normal practice to send out marketing communications by post or telephone but if we do you will be able to opt out to receiving such communications from us. However, remember if you opt out of receiving communications from us, particularly by email, that this will preclude you from receiving any of our special offers or promotions in future.

You may also exercise your right to opt out of the use of your information for marketing purposes at any time by contacting us by the methods explained at the end of this notice.

Your personal information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law to do so.

Third Parties

We would like to share your information with companies whose products or services we think may interest you. They may contact you by email, mail or telephone to let you know about any goods, services or promotions, which may be of interest to you. We will always give you an option to opt out at the point where you give us your details. We will never supply your information to a third party for marketing purposes if you tell us not to.

You may also exercise your right to opt out of the use of your information being supplied to a third party, for marketing purposes at any time, by contacting us by the methods explained at the end of this notice.
