- Marketing and Communications Data: This includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.
- Aggregated Data: This includes statistical or demographic data for any purpose.

Sensitive personal information will always be processed and stored securely. You can withdraw your consent at any time to us processing this data, however, this may mean that you can no longer access the service or product the information was gathered for.
- Cookies: We also collect information about you from other sources. For example, our website automatically collects information from your computer using “cookies” which provides us with limited personal information. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit.
