All such data will be anonymised and will not include any personally identifying data, or any anonymised data that can be combined with other data and used to identify you.

9.5  We use the services of Facebook Ireland Limited (Facebook) to carry out certain

marketing activities on the Facebook Platform. Specifically, from time to time we use Facebook’s Audience Insights to help us to create targeted audiences for our advertising campaigns on Facebook. This involves sharing some of our customer personal data with Facebook to allow it to create for us information on the types of audiences (i.e. potential customers) on Facebook platform that would be best suited to see our adverts. In this respect Facebook acts as our joint processor.

For such processing of your personal data we and Facebook also act as a ‘Joint Controller’ this means that both Facebook and us can determine the reasons for processing of your personal data. Facebook has its own privacy policy on how Facebook processes personal data, including the

legal basis which Facebook relies on and the ways to exercise Data Subject rights against Facebook. To review Facebook’s privacy policy, you can visit: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. You can also obtain full contact details of Facebook or its representative and the details of its Data Protection Officer from this policy.

In order to ensure the rights of data subjects (i.e. you) we have entered into a Controller Addendum with Facebook that sets outs each parties’ respective responsibilities in terms of this processing and our responsibility to inform you of the details in this section 9.5.

Any data subject requests with regard to the Personal Data stored by Facebook Ireland after the Joint Processing described in paragraph one of this section 9.5, is the responsibility of Facebook.

Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of Our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use that data only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by Us.

10.2  In the event that any of your data is to be transferred in such a manner, you will be contacted in advance and informed of the changes.

11. How Can You Control Your Data?

11.1  In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Regulations, set out in section 4, when you submit personal data via Our Site, you may be given options to restrict Our use of your data.
