We will only use the data to the extent necessary.

Marketing

We would like to send you information by email and to call you about our products and services, updates about our business, as well as about events which we think you may be interested in.

If you are a corporate contact, we will send marketing communications to your company email address unless you have opted out. We will give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving marketing communications from us when we first contact you.

For non-corporate contacts, we will only send marketing communications to your personal email address if those communications relate to services or opportunities which are similar to what we have already provided to you in the past or which you have expressed an interest in, or if you have consented to us contacting you in this way.
