This may happen in conjunction with services which these individuals or companies perform for the Order, for example, email mailouts.
Your access and control
However, in accordance with the privacy law we give you access to your personal information we hold and you can correct misinformation (except where it would be inappropriate or exempted by law e.g. – where it would require disclosing someone else’s personal information, but we will provide you with reasons).

It is important for us that persons with whom we do business have confidence that we handle information responsibly and it is our policy to do this.
