Under the GDPR, ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Personal data you provide that we store may include, but not be limited to: your email address, your name, your country, your address, other contact details, your business name, the last four digits of your credit card and your credit card expiry date.

From time to time we may also purchase lists containing personal information about individuals from organisations offering such lists for marketing purposes.
If you do not provide the information requested by us, we may not be able to provide you with our services. If you provide personal information to us about someone else, you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that information to us and that, without us taking any further steps required by privacy laws, we may collect, use and disclose such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
