Information about marketing Marketing We would like to keep in touch with you, by post, email, phone, social media or online, about our products, services and offers that might interest you. You can choose whether you want to receive these communications and can opt out at any time. We have a legitimate interest in promoting our products and services, but if you ask us not to send you marketing communications, we won't send them. In particular, when we collect contact information that we would like to use to send you marketing, we will give you the opportunity, at that time, to tell us not to send it. Making sure our marketing messages are relevant to you We want to make sure the information we send you about our products and services is relevant to you. To do this, we may use your personal data to help us understand your interests better. We may also use details of your computer, laptop, smartphone or tablet (including its IP address) to check you are linked to the right web page after clicking on one of our online adverts. If you visit our websites, we may also use cookies to tell us which marketing to send you. Please see section 11 below for information about cookies. These approaches help us to make our communications more relevant and interesting for you. Looking at the web pages you’ve visited and the things you’ve bought helps us to understand you as a customer better and allows us to provide personalised services, content, communications and online advertising. We may also measure how you respond to our marketing communications to help us understand how effective they are and offer you products and services that better meet your needs. If you don’t want us to personalise our marketing messages to you in this way, you can opt out of personalisation. If you do this, we will not send you any more marketing communications. Please see section 11 below to find out more about how you can control whether we use cookies in marketing to you. Tracking technology We use industry-standard technology to monitor your engagement with marketing emails and send emails automatically, so that we can send you relevant emails at the right time. We use ‘tracking pixels’ to recognise when you have opened an email that we sent to you. If you don’t want us to use tracking pixels, you can use your email settings so that images are not automatically displayed. Changing your marketing preferences You can change your marketing preferences at any time. You can do this: * online * over the phone * using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in our marketing emails * by replying STOP to our marketing text messages * through our apps, or * by writing to us at any time.

Market research We like to hear your views as this can help us to improve our products and services.

Our employees and agents Our employees, or agents who act on our behalf, may use your data for the purposes set out in sections 3 and 4 above. For example, if you contact us with an enquiry or complaint, members of our Customer Service Team will see your information. Customers We share your personal data with our customers when we provide them with services which involve you.

This proof may confirm where we delivered the item and show any signature the person who received the item gave us. Online shopping platforms If you buy postage through an online shopping platform such as eBay or Amazon, or if we deliver items you have bought from them, we may share your personal data with them to provide updates on an item’s location and proof of delivery.

These organisations include the police, law enforcement agencies and fraud-prevention agencies. This may include telling other organisations about addresses we will not deliver to or collect from. If you use our Redirection service, unless you ask us not to, we may sometimes sell information about you to help organisations update their contact details, or so specific types of organisation can send you offers that people moving home may be interested in. You will find more details, including information on how you can choose for us not to sell your information, in the terms and conditions for our Redirection service. We may pass your name, contact details (such as your email address), and details of your purchases from us, to organisations that help us with market research.
