MARKETING SERVICE PROVIDERS:

We will share your data with the Marketing Services Providers listed below, who will use it for a variety of direct marketing, targeted advertising, measurement & identity resolution purposes. Marketing Services Providers carry out data profiling. They will combine your data with data they get from other sources (including public sources) and use it to create predictive models. Marketing Services Providers use these models to try to predict behaviour and preferences (e.g. how likely you are to buy a holiday online or take a particular type of holiday) or likely circumstances (e.g. whether you are eligible for a particular credit card).

Marketing Services Providers will also try to match and then link your data with data that they receive about you from other sources, to make sure that the data they hold about you is correct.

For example, they might do this to

• check whether you have recently moved address; or
• keep the IP address they hold about you up to date. IP addresses change regularly. The IP address they receive from us might change too quickly to make the data you provide through us useful for marketing purposes. Marketing Services Provider might find it helpful for this to be refreshed from time to time to ensure marketing messages are being delivered to the correct consumers, on the correct device(s).

They share your data, including the profiled data they have created about you, primarily to:

• help organisations better understand the likely characteristics of their customers (and find others like them)
• improve the relevancy and appropriateness of an organisation's marketing to its customers (e.g. offers, its products and services); and
• help them communicate with their customers more effectively offline and online. This may mean that you receive tailored advertising via direct mail or when you visit a website.

In sharing your data with Marketing Services Providers, we rely on a lawful ground called legitimate interest , as our business depends on our ability to partner with third parties who process personal data for marketing-related reasons.
