Except as described in this privacy policy and allowed by applicable law, we keep your personal information in confidence and do not disclose it for identification purposes or convey it to third parties without your consent.

You may request us not to disclose your personal information to another organisation if the purpose is to facilitate direct marketing. If you ask us the source of our information, we will notify you the identity of this source within a reasonable period unless it is impracticable and unreasonable to do so. Our employees have access to only the information they require for their work.

Data Direct may use performance tracking technology within our emails to improve our future interactions with you, capturing information including the time and date you open our email and the type of device used. We use this primarily to understand whether our emails are opened and what links are clicked on. We may share this information with other organisations to help them improve their own interactions with you.

You can access your personal information or make a complaint or request that your personal information is corrected, your account is deleted, or that we provide you with the source of your information. If we correct information that has been disclosed to a third party, we will take reasonable steps to inform the third party of the correction, and will respond within a reasonable time period.

For this jurisdiction, complaints may also be escalated to Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).

If we no longer need your personal information, and law does not otherwise require it, we will take reasonable steps to destroy the information and de-identify it.
