16. OTHER TERMS

1. Any formal legal notices should be sent to us by email to and a hard copy to the details set out in Who we are and how to contact us.
2. Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications that we send to you should be in writing. When using our sites, you accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic. We may therefore communicate with you by email or provide you with information by posting notices on the sites.

For contractual purposes, you consent to receive communications from us electronically and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.

We may give notice to you at either the email or postal address that you provide to us, or by posting notices on our sites. Notice will be deemed to be received and properly served when you first view our sites after the notice has been posted there; 24 hours after an email has been sent to you; or three days after the date of posting a letter. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such a letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an email, that such an email was sent to the specified email address of the addressee.

1. If any provision of these terms is declared invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent by any court or competent authority, these terms shall be read as if that provision had been omitted and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
2. Failure by us to enforce a right or any provision of these terms, or to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under any contract between you and us, or to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under any such contract, will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not preclude us from enforcing either that provision or any similar provision on a later occasion. A waiver by us of any default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by us of any of these terms will be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with these terms.
3. Any contract between you and us is binding on you and us and on our respective successors and assignees.
4. You may not assign, transfer, charge or otherwise dispose of your rights under these terms and any contract between you and us without our prior written consent.
5. We will not be in breach of these terms as a result of, or liable for any loss or damage caused by, our failure to discharge an obligation in time or at all if our failure to do so is due to a cause beyond our reasonable control (“a force majeure event”). We will have an extension of time for performance while the force majeure event continues and for a reasonable period afterwards. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the force majeure event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the contract may be performed despite the force majeure event.
6. Our sites are directed at people residing in the United Kingdom. We do not represent that content that is available on or through our sites is appropriate for use or available outside the United Kingdom.
7. A third party shall not have any rights as a result of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
8. These terms (and any document expressly referred to in them) constitute the whole agreement between us and supersede all previous discussions, correspondence, negotiations, previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between us. You and we acknowledge and agree that:
   1. In entering into any agreement with the other, neither you nor we have or will rely on any representation or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these terms or the documents referred to in them.
   2. The only liability you or we will have in respect of any representations and warranties (whether made innocently or negligently) will be for breach of contract, but nothing in these terms limits or excludes your liability or our liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

All users of our website, of the pages on social media platforms that we operate and of the products made available via our websites must follow the Scammell & Nyland Acceptable Use Policy.

4. INTERACTIVE SERVICES

From time to time, we may provide certain services on our sites, including, without limitation, the following: chat rooms, bulletin boards, discussion forums, blogs, wikis, social media page interaction, customer reviews and comments, and articles with public comments. We refer to these types of service as “interactive services” in this policy.

Where we offer any interactive service, we will use our reasonable endeavours to provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, whether it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and, in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our sites, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However:

• We cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of any content or material that you contribute to our sites (“Contributions”).
• Although we endeavour to enforce the rules that are set out in this policy, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service that we provide on our sites, and we may stop moderating an interactive service at any time. Some users may abuse the services that we make available, and we are not responsible for the views and advice contained in any of the content that such users may post.
• Any Contributions must comply with this policy.
• We expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

Children are not permitted to use any of our interactive services.

You take full responsibility for your Contributions and you agree to be responsible for any claim that any third party may make against us in relation to your Contributions. You, or your organisation, own the intellectual property and other rights in that content. However, you give S&N a limited licence to publish your content via our sites or any products, and you allow other users to access that content via our sites or any products.

Where we moderate an interactive service:

• We will check all Contributions for compliance with the content standards, either before or after they are published.
• We will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
• We do not guarantee that all Contributions will be published.
• We cannot guarantee how quickly Contributions will be published or removed because this will depend on other editorial commitments.

If you wish to complain about any Contribution that has been posted on our sites, please contact us. We will then review the Contribution and decide whether it complies with our content standards. We will deal with any Contribution that, in our opinion, violates our content standards.

5. USE OF OUR PRODUCTS

6. CONTENT STANDARDS

7. BREACH OF THIS POLICY

When we consider that a breach of this acceptable use policy has occurred, we may take such action as we deem appropriate.

Failure to comply with this policy constitutes a material breach of our Website Terms and Conditions  (on the basis of which you are permitted to use our sites) and, where relevant, of our Customer Agreement with your organisation.

If you breach this policy, S&N may therefore, without liability or prejudice to its other rights under its Customer Agreement with your organisation, take all or any of the following actions:

• Take further legal action against you.
• Disclose such information to law enforcement authorities as we reasonably feel is necessary or as required by law.

We exclude our liability for all action that we may take in response to breaches of this policy. The actions that we may take are not limited to those described above, and we may take any other action that we reasonably deem appropriate.

S&N also has the right to disclose your identity, where permitted by law, to any third party who is claiming that any content that you have posted or uploaded via our sites or any products constitutes a potential offence, a violation of their intellectual property rights or a violation of their right to privacy or confidentiality.

We will not be responsible, or liable to any third party, for the confidentiality, content or accuracy of any content that you or any other user post.

8. LAWS THAT APPLY TO ANY DISPUTES

If you are a consumer, please note that the terms of this policy, its subject matter and its formation are governed by English law. You and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction except that if you are a resident of Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.

Summary

We respect your privacy, and we are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will explain how we use and look after your personal data when you are a customer, a user or administrator of our services or you:

• Visit our website(s): https://sntax.co.uk/ and/or https://www.scammell.tax/ (regardless of where you visit these sites from).
• Visit our Social media page: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/scammell-nyland
• Call us, write to us or communicate with us in any way.

This privacy policy does not apply to you if you work for us or are applying to work for us. In that case, we will provide a separate privacy policy that sets out that relationship with you.

This privacy policy also tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

When we say “we”, “us”, or “S&N”, that means the company, Scammell & Nyland Limited.

Where we collect information about you, if that information is about you, or can be used by us or organisations with which we work to find out about you, it is known as “personal data”.

In line with the law, this privacy policy tells you what types of personal data we hold about you, what we use it for, why we are allowed to use it in that way and what your legal rights are.

The rules about personal data are complex. If you need help understanding anything in this policy, please contact us at .

The simple version is this:

• We collect information about you, including contact details (like your email address), when you give us that information on our website, when you order or use our services, when you call us or communicate with us, and when you interact with us on pages on social media platforms that we operate.
• We treat the information that we hold about you very carefully. We do our best to make sure that information about you does not go to the wrong people or to people who might not look after that information properly.
• If you ask us to do certain things with the information that we hold about you, we must usually do what you ask and you do not usually have to pay for this. Those things include:
  • Giving you a copy of the information that we hold about you.
  • Putting right any mistakes in the information that we hold about you.
  • Stopping using information about you or deleting it.

If you want to ask us to do any of these things, or you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at .  If you still have concerns, you can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”). This is the organisation in charge of making sure that we do the right things with your personal data.

Changes to the privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes

Any changes that we make to this policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy.

It is important that the personal data that we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Third-party links

This website, and information that we may post via pages on social media platforms that we operate (“our sites”), may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications, for your convenience and information. Clicking these links or enabling these connections means that you may leave our sites and may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.

We do not control these third-party websites, the social media platforms themselves or third-party social media accounts or apps. We are not responsible, or liable, for how they process your personal data or for their privacy policies. For example, they may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal data from you. When you leave our sites, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website, app and social media account that you use or visit.

2. The data we collect about you

When you contact us through our sites, buy or use our products or services, or communicate with us, you may provide us with personal data about you.

Personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer the following kinds of personal data about you:

• Identity data includes your full name.
• Contact data includes your billing or other address, email address and telephone numbers.
• Transaction data includes details about payments to and from you, other details of products and services that you have purchased from us and details of user numbers within each organisation.
• Technical data includes online identifiers such as your IP address, login data, browser type and version, time-zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices that you use to access our sites.

• Social media data includes marketing and communications data, service data via the relevant social media channel and limited identity data where you engage with our social media accounts.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law because this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users who access a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data, which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, or we are processing your personal data to fulfil a request you have made, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with products or services) or we may not be able to otherwise comply with your request. In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service that you have with us, but we will use reasonable efforts to notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. How your personal data IS collected

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

• Direct interactions. You may give us your identity data, contact data, transaction data, marketing and communications data, and social media data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email, social media or otherwise. This includes personal data that you provide when you:
• Enquire about our products or services.

• Subscribe to our services or publications.
• Request marketing to be sent to you.

Please see our relevant cookie policy for further details:
• Our cookie policy for our
• Our cookie policy for our https://www,scammell.tax/
• Third parties or publicly available sources. We will receive personal data about you from various third parties and public sources as set out below:
• Identity data and contact data from publicly available sources and databases such as Companies House, company websites. In these situations, we may combine this data with information we already have about you so that we can update, expand and analyse the accuracy of our records, identify or verify new or potential customers, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you. If you provide us with personal data about others, or if others give us your data, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.
• Technical data from the following parties:
• Analytics providers such as Google.

• Social media data. When you use our social media platforms to communicate with us, engage with us or share content with us:
• Those platforms may provide us with information about you, such as where you send us a message, or like or comment on us or our content.
• When contacting us through a social media platform, we suggest that you also familiarise yourself with the privacy information provided by the relevant platform, which is not controlled by us.

If you wish to contact us via a social media platform, we suggest that you use direct messaging rather than public messaging if you wish to share any personal data with us. Any personal data shared in public on social platforms is shared at your own risk.

4. How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to do so. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform the contract that we are about to enter into/have entered into with you or the organisation that you work for that grants you access to our services.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
• Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

To find out more about the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal data, see the Glossary.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data. However, we will request 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.

Purposes for which we will use your personal data

The following table describes all the ways in which we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. Where appropriate, we have also identified what our legitimate interests are.

Note that we may process your personal data on more than one lawful basis depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal basis on which we are relying to process your personal data where more than one basis has been set out in the table below.

Automated decision-making

We do not make any decisions that could have a legal effect, or other significant effect, on you, based solely on automated processing of your personal data.

Marketing

We hope that you enjoy and value our newsletter and updates, and our marketing material generally. We may send you this information by various means including email, text message, post, telephone or social media. We respect your right to choose what marketing messages you receive, and we will try to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing.

Promotional offers from us

We may use your identity, contact, technical, usage and profile data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

Third-party marketing

Our sites are designed to provide information about our organisation and services or to allow access to our services.

If you make an enquiry with us about our business partner, Orca Law or Tax Automation Limited we will – where you agree – pass your enquiry to them so that they can contact you directly, including for their own marketing purposes. We do not otherwise share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Opting out

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by selecting or deselecting relevant boxes to adjust your marketing preferences. You can also follow the opt-out links on any marketing message that we email to you, unsubscribe from our pages on social media platforms that we operate or contact 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 product/service purchase, subscription specific customer and user details and experience or other transactions.

Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our relevant cookie policy for further details:

• Our cookie policy for our scammell.press website
• Our cookie policy for our scammell.tax website

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If you would like to understand more about any of our purposes, or you wish us to explain how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

5. Disclosures of your personal data

All of our contractors, suppliers and staff (including volunteers, agents, temporary workers and casual workers) who process your personal data on our behalf (and therefore act as our processors) are subject to strict contractual requirements in relation to processing personal data.

We may share your personal data with the following parties for the purposes set out in the table (if any) in the previous section:

• Internal third parties as set out in the Glossary.
• External third parties as set out in the Glossary.
• Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6. International DATA transfers

We will not intentionally transfer your personal data outside the UK without ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place. For example, we will only transfer your personal data to countries that the UK government or the European Commission have deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. For further details, see the information about adequacy decisions on the European Commission’s website and the UK ICO website).

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission or the UK that give personal data the same protection that it has in the UK and Europe. For further details, see the information about model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries on the European Commission’s website and the UK ICO website).

Currently, we transfer your personal data to the following jurisdictions:

• Our email is hosted, and our files are stored using Microsoft 365, which is a cloud service provider based in Ireland. Ireland is considered by the UK as having an adequate level of protection for your personal data.
• Our site is hosted and maintained via a USA based service provider. If you provide your contact details to us via this site, your personal data may be stored in the USA.

Please contact us if you want further information about these arrangements or the specific mechanism that we use when we transfer your personal data out of the UK or the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Please note that we have no control over the routes that emails take, and even emails exchanged between two people in the UK could appear on equipment in countries outside the UK or the EEA, where they may not be protected by strong privacy or data protection laws. You will probably not consider this an issue, but if you have any concerns please raise them with us and we will make alternative arrangements.

7. Data security

We have a strong commitment to data security.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We take appropriate steps to communicate and train our staff in relation to applicable data protection law.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to or via our sites or via any social media platforms. Any transmission is at your own risk.

If you would like to know more about our data security measures, please contact us.

8. Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe that there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are set out in the table above.

By law, we have to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, financial and transaction data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data: see the following section for further information.

In some circumstances, we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, which we process as a controller. These rights are subject to specific requirements and limitations set out in the applicable data protection legislation and are summarised below:

• You can request access to the personal data that we hold about you and check that we are lawfully processing it (commonly known as a “data subject access request”).
• You can request correction of the personal data that we hold about you if it is wrong and ask us to complete it if it is incomplete.
• You can request erasure of your personal data, but we will retain your data for the purposes of dealing with any claims or where we have another legitimate reason to retain it.
• You can object to the processing of your personal data. For example, if we are processing it on the basis of a legitimate interest and that does not override your individual rights.
• You can request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may, for example, want to do this while we consider your request to have it corrected.
• You can learn how and why we are processing your personal data, the legal basis for that processing, who we have disclosed it to and who we will disclose it to (which we have provided in this privacy policy).
• You can receive a copy of your personal data (or have it passed to a third party) in a common and structured electronic format (where the legal basis for our processing is your consent, or the processing is necessary for the performance of our contract with you).
• You can stop having your personal data used for direct marketing.
• You can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time if the lawful basis of the processing is your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

You also have the right to complain to the ICO about our processing or our response to your requests and objections. You can do this by visiting the ICO website or calling 0303 123 1113.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse your request, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

What we may need from you

We may need to request proportionate information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to someone who has no right to receive it. To speed up our response, we may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests, it could take us longer than a month. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

10. Glossary

LAWFUL BASIS

Legitimate interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best product/service and the best, most secure experience. We make sure that we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

Performance of contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Complying with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

THIRD PARTIES

Internal third parties: None.

[External third parties:

• Service providers acting as processors based in the UK who provide IT and system administration services.
• Our email is hosted, and our files are stored using Microsoft 365, which is a cloud service provider based in Ireland. See above for more details.
• Our https://sntax.co.uk/ site is hosted and maintained via a USA based service provider. See above for more details.
• Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the UK who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
• HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the UK who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you and check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data that we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data that you give us.
• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.

You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons that will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or that of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this basis because you feel that it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
• If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
• Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
• Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it because you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party whom you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
