It may also include their analysis of your behaviour across the wider internet and a profile of you.

So for example, if you sign up to a competition and provide your email address, and then register for an online account with us using the same email address, we link those two pieces of information together. We can achieve the same effect through matching transaction details and technical information about the electronic devices you use. By doing so, we can understand you better and provide a better experience to you, as we set out above. | This is necessary for compliance with legal obligations to which the DWS Group is subject. | The prospective buyer of any part of our business or assets that we may sell Our professional advisers for example our lawyers, accountants and technology consultants when they need it to provide advice to us The police, local authorities, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the courts and any other central or local government bodieswhere they request it and we may lawfully disclose it, for example for the prevention and detection of crime Other people who make a subject access request to us, where we are allowed to do so by law.

Our third party service providers and suppliers. |
Special category data, such as data about your racial or ethnic origin, your physical or mental health or your religious beliefs, and data relating to criminal convictions and offences require additional protection. We try to limit the circumstances in which we collect sensitive personal data of this kind and will only process this type of data with your explicit consent.
The provision of some data is a contractual requirement or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract. You are not obliged to provide this data, but if you do not, then we may be unable to enter into a contract with you or fully perform the contract we have entered into with you. In some cases, it may lead to the termination of your contract with us.
Legitimate interests are our business or commercial reasons for using your data, but even so, we will not unfairly put our legitimate interests above what is best for you. Where we use your data for market research, training, credit reference and fraud prevention checks, defending or bringing claims and sending some types marketing, we do so because it is in our legitimate interests of developing and running an efficient and effective business.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary. The retention period will vary depending on the type of personal data concerned. In order to determine the retention period we take into account the nature of the personal data, the purpose(s) for processing it, your relationship with us, any legal and regulatory requirements and any industry standards and guidelines. If you have previously held an account with us and return we may link your data to your previous account, which will also affect the retention period. Once we no longer need your personal data, it will be securely destroyed.
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

In order to provide you with requested products and services we may need to transfer your personal information to service partners based in countries outside the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA), noting that transfers to the EEA are permitted under UK data protection law. This does not diminish your rights. Where such international transfers outside the UK and the EEA do occur, we will ensure your personal data is protected in a manner that is equivalent to the way it would be protected within the UK and in accordance with this Privacy Notice. We will only make such a transfer where:
- a decision has been made by the European Commission that a place provides adequate protection for your personal data; or
- we have put appropriate safeguards in place to protect your personal data such as standard contractual clauses; or
- we rely on a specific ground for the transfer (called a derogation), such as your consent.

- the right to object to the way we process your personal data
You can access and amend some data and opt out of marketing by using our privacy centre or logging into your account.
In addition to these rights, if you gave us consent to use your data e.g. so that we can send you marketing emails, you can withdraw your consent at any time and free of charge. Information on how to do this is on each marketing email you receive as well as the preference centre.
Often, how we deal with data subject rights will be through our business as usual processes. There are some rights that we will always comply with, such as an objection to receiving direct marketing. However, we are not obliged to comply with all requests we receive. If there is a legitimate reason why we cannot comply with a request you make, for example a legal requirement may mean we have to keep your data even if you have requested that we delete it, we will let you know. We aim to respond to you within one month of receiving your request. However, we are permitted to extend this timeframe by an extra two months, where necessary. If this is the case, we will let you know within a month of receiving your request.
We will not charge you for exercising your rights, unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee for our administrative costs or refuse to act on your request. We may also charge a reasonable fee for additional copies of data. We may require identification from you before we can consider your request. If identification or a fee is required or we are refusing to act on your request, we will let you know without undue delay.
If you have any queries about this policy or would like to exercise any of your rights you can contact our Data Protection Officer at compliance@digitalwholesalesolutions.com or at Hampshire House, Hampshire Corporate Park, Templars Way, Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh, England, SO53 3RY.
Whilst we always endeavour to resolve your concerns, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner. Please visit the Information Commissioner’s Office’s website for more information on how to do this – www.ico.org.uk
