You may give us your identity, contact and financial data by filling in entry forms on our website, or by further communication directly with us by phone, email or otherwise after your competition entry.
Existing clients of the Group will receive correspondence to opt into the promotion, as per Carrington Dean’s privacy policy. No further data will be required following opt-in.
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data (i) where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you; (ii) where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not overrise those interests; or (iii) where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.
To provide a service
We may contact you for reasons relating to the service you have made a request for, in this instance entry to the promotion.

Marketing and promotions
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. To help us understand you better and provide you with information about other products and promotions which may be suitable and relevant, we will use your personal information to create a profile of you and your circumstances.
This allows us to provide more relevant, accurate and tailored services to you. For example, we may assess your income and expenditure to determine whether you would be eligible for a debt solution through us or enrol you into a promotion the company or group is running whilst you are a client. We believe we have a legitimate interest to do this and that it is not against your rights.
However, if you don’t want us to profile your personal information this way, to then better enable us to tailor any marketing communications to you, you can contact us to let us know that you wish for your personal data not to be used in this way.
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or entered into any contract or promotion with us and have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.
You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at any time.
Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service experience or other transactions or promotions.
