We use a range of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure.

Marketing Service Providers

We will share your data with the Marketing Services Providers listed below, who will use it for a variety of direct marketing purposes. Marketing Services Providers carry out data profiling. They will combine your data with data they get from other sources (including public sources) and use it to create “predictive models”. Marketing Services Providers use these models to try to predict behaviour and preferences (e.g. how likely you are to buy a holiday online or take a particular type of holiday) or likely circumstances (e.g. whether you are eligible for a particular credit card).

Marketing Services Providers will also try to match and then link your data with data that they receive about you from other sources, to make sure that the data they hold about you is correct. For example, they might do this to:

– check whether you have recently moved address; or

– keep the IP address they hold about you up to date. IP addresses change regularly. The IP address they receive from us might change too quickly to make the data you provide through us useful for marketing purposes. Marketing Services Provider might find it helpful for this to be refreshed from time to time to ensure marketing messages are being delivered to the correct consumers, on the correct device(s).

They share your data, including the profiled data they have created about you, primarily to:

– help organisations better understand the likely characteristics of their customers (and find others like them);
– improve the relevancy and appropriateness of an organisation’s marketing to its customers (e.g. offers, its products and services); and
– help them communicate with their customers more effectively offline and online. This may mean that you receive tailored advertising via direct mail or when you visit a website.

Data Retention Information

We take your data privacy rights seriously. Whilst the law does not put a time limit on the amount of time we should hold your personal data, we only wish to retain data for as long as it is required for the purposes for which it was collected; for as long as it remains accurate and up-to-date; and most importantly, for as long as long as you are happy for us to do so.

In addition, to help WeSendOffers maintain the most recent indication of your marketing and data processing preferences, we will provide you with ongoing reminders of your data subject rights with access to this privacy policy. We refer to this as engagement or notification recency. Therefore our data retention policy considers the purpose, the legal basis under which it is processed and also the most recent engagement.

  • Marketing – where we process your data under consent we will stop using it for marketing purposes after five years. Where we rely on legitimate interests we will continue to process your data for ten years, subject to receiving notification from ourselves that we hold your information.
  • Profiling – we will stop using your data for this purpose after ten years.
  • Tracing and Credit Reference – as this purpose plays an important function of protecting individuals, we will retain your data for ten years. However, only basic name, date of birth and contact information is retained for this purpose.

In addition, when completing lifestyle questions you may provide us with information such as the car you drive or who provides you with your wifi. Where information such as this has less use over time, it will be removed sooner than the retention periods detailed above.
It is important that the personal data we hold and process is accurate and up-to-date.

Therefore, we regularly refresh the database against suppression lists and remove those who no longer wish to be contacted. As we explain in the section marked ‘Your Rights’ you can withdraw your consent to us at any time.

We aim to always add value to you using the data you have provided, this is your data and at any time if you feel like you’re not getting the value from us holding it then we will remove it.
