Where we have obtained your professional contact information from a business information provider, professional organisation or publicly available business source, we may use it to contact you in your professional capacity where we believe our work is relevant to your role or organisation.
We may send you relevant information by email and, where appropriate, contact you by telephone. We screen telephone marketing contacts against the relevant preference services and will not make marketing calls where you have previously told us that you do not wish to receive them.

We will not share your information for marketing purposes with any other companies.

Data collected to fulfil orders/purchases will be processed under the lawful basis 'Contractual Necessity'.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, or actively opt in to receive marketing communications from us (for example, via a consent checkbox), we will process your data using the lawful basis 'Consent'.
Where you submit your details to access gated content such as a report, whitepaper, or guide, we will process your data using the lawful basis 'Legitimate Interests'. We have a genuine business interest in following up with people who have actively requested our content, and we consider this processing proportionate and within your reasonable expectations, having regard to your right to object at any time. Before relying on this basis we carry out a legitimate interests assessment, balancing our interests against your rights and freedoms.
Where we obtain professional contact information from business information providers, professional organisations or publicly available business sources, we may process this information under the lawful basis of Legitimate Interests.
We have a legitimate business interest in identifying and communicating with organisations and professional contacts who may reasonably be interested in our research, insights, events or services. We only use this basis where we consider the communication relevant and proportionate, and where our interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
Before relying on this basis, we carry out a legitimate interests assessment. You have the right to object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing at any time.
We will keep your personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes for which it was collected. We periodically review the information we hold and will delete or anonymise personal data where it is no longer required or relevant.
Where you have opted out of marketing or objected to receiving direct marketing from us, we may retain the minimum information necessary on a suppression list to ensure that we continue to respect your preference.

If you have actively consented to receive marketing (for example, by ticking a consent box), you may withdraw that consent at any time.
If you have downloaded gated content such as a report or whitepaper from us, we will rely on legitimate interests to send you a small number of related follow-up communications and occasional relevant content. You have the right to object to this processing at any time, and we will stop contacting you on this basis without needing a reason from you.
If we contact you in your professional capacity using information obtained from a business information provider, professional organisation or publicly available business source, we may send you relevant information about our research, insights, events and services on the basis of our legitimate interests.
