What do we use per­son­al data for?

Our pri­ma­ry use of per­son­al infor­ma­tion is to enable us to deliv­er ser­vices to our cus­tomers. Where we have a con­tract with you, or your employ­er it is nec­es­sary for us to process cer­tain per­son­al data to deliv­er that con­tract and pro­vide our services.
We also use per­son­al infor­ma­tion for our legit­i­mate busi­ness inter­ests in mon­i­tor­ing, devel­op­ing and pro­mot­ing our prod­ucts and ser­vices. To do this we per­form a num­ber of admin­is­tra­tive tasks includ­ing deal­ing with feed­back or com­plaints, pub­li­cis­ing our ser­vices; sup­port­ing qual­i­ty and risk man­age­ment reviews; admin­is­ter­ing our web­site and review­ing the effi­ca­cy of our online ser­vices and com­mu­ni­ca­tions, and to mon­i­tor or enforce our terms and con­di­tions or user policies.

These pro­files are often based on online behav­iour and pop­u­la­tion seg­ments, such as age range, inter­ests, stud­ies and work expe­ri­ence. In cer­tain sit­u­a­tions, we may also com­bine this infor­ma­tion with data pro­vid­ed to us by third parties.
