 Where we transfer Personal Data from inside the European Economic Area (the EEA) to outside the EEA, we may be required to take specific additional measures to safeguard the relevant Personal Data. Certain countries outside the EEA have been approved by the European Commission as providing essentially equivalent protections to EEA data protection laws and therefore no additional safeguards are required to export Personal Data to these jurisdictions. In countries which have not had these approvals (see the full list here http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.htm), we will transfer it subject to EU Commission-approved model contractual clauses, ask for your consent to the transfer, or other legal grounds permitted by applicable legal requirements, unless we are permitted under applicable data protection law to make such transfers without formalities. 


Please contact us as set out in the “Contacting Us” section below if you would like to see a copy of the specific safeguards applied to the export of your Personal Data. Please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.


BEHAVIOURAL ADVERTISING


As described above, we may also use personalised online advertising on the Site, to ensure that the advertising is as relevant to you as possible. It works by showing you adverts that are based on your browsing patterns and the way you have interacted with the Site. It then shows you adverts which we believe may interest you. 


When you browse the Site, some of the cookies and similar technology we place on your device are advertising cookies, so we can understand what sort of pages you are interested in. We can then display advertising on your browser based on these interests. 


We only use Device Information for this purpose, we do not collect or use information such as your name, email address, postal address or phone number for personalised online advertising.


We may also share online data collected through cookies and similar technology with our advertising partners. This means that when you are on another website, you may be shown advertising based on your browsing patterns on the Site. We may also show you advertising on the Site based on your browsing patterns on other sites, that we have obtained from our advertising partners.


Online retargeting is another form of online advertising that allows us and some of our advertising partners to show you advertising based on your browsing patterns and interactions with a site away from the Site. 


For example, if you have visited the website of an online clothes shop, you may start seeing adverts from that same shopping site displaying special offers or showing you the products you were browsing. This allows companies to advertise to you if you leave their website without making a purchase. 


We also use personalised online advertising to promote our own products and services. This means that you may see advertising for our products and services on the Site and when you are on other, third party websites, including social media platforms.


 For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work


 You can opt out of targeted advertising by: 


 FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads 


 GOOGLE - https://www.google.com/settings/ads/anonymous 


 Additionally, you can opt out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal at: http://optout.aboutads.info/.Please note that we do not alter the Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
