Important information about opting-out

The personal data that we ask you to provide may either be mandatory or optional, and may differ depending on the particular product or service.

Optional personal data is information you voluntarily provide to us, which we may process during the transaction or to provide you with other products and services. Fields requiring mandatory personal data will be indicated in our manual forms and registration forms on our website(s).

If you choose not to furnish any mandatory personal data requested or wish to withdraw your consent or significantly limit the processing of your personal data, you agree that (notwithstanding any agreement between you and us) we shall be entitled to cease the provision of any products or services to you without incurring any liability whatsoever for any losses which you may suffer as a result of such cessation.

By not ticking a clearly displayed “opt-out” box, we will assume we have your implied consent to process your personal data pursuant to the terms of this Notice and to receive information about products and services that we or our third party business partners have selected and believe would be of interest to you until you choose to opt-out from allowing us to process your personal data entirely or to limit the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes.

In relation to our website(s), you may withdraw or add your consent at any time through the “Edit your profile” page (if any) or by contacting our Corporate Compliance Department. When you choose to withdraw your consent by choosing to opt-out in our website(s), this would apply only to your personal data stored in our website(s)’s database.
