We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You may receive marketing communications from us if you have consented to it or requested information from us or entered into a contract with us or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have given us authority to receive that marketing.

We share your personal data within the MATCH Hospitality group. This will involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Your personal data information may be processed in Switzerland and may be stored and used elsewhere depending on the location of the MATCH Hospitality group company or service provider who is permitted to access such information under these rules (and such locations may include countries which may not afford the same level of protection of such data as the country from which you provided the information).
Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. However, the Internet is an open system, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
If you communicate with us by e-mail, you should note that the secrecy of Internet e-mail is uncertain. By sending sensitive or confidential e-mail messages or information which are not encrypted you accept the risk of such uncertainty and possible lack of confidentiality over the Internet.
