We assure you that these companies are not permitted to use your information for any other purpose. For further information about these companies, please see section 5 below.
​
3.2 Where you have given us your specific consent, we will use your data to provide you with marketing services. This allows us to tell you about new products or services that may be of interest to you. Again, we do use a number of external companies to help us provide such marketing services. However, these companies are prohibited from sharing your data with any other company.

i) protect against potential breaches of confidentiality;
ii) ensure all IT facilities are protected against damage, loss or misuse; and
iii) increases awareness and understanding across our business of the requirements of information security, and the responsibility of colleagues to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the information that they handle.
