The Data Protection Act sets out several different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:
1. Consent
In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent. For example, when you tick a box to receive email newsletters. When collecting your personal data, we’ll always make clear to your which data is necessary in connection with a particular service. With your consent, or when you shop with us and do not choose to opt out from receiving our emails ('soft opt in') we may use your personal data, preferences and details of your transactions to keep you informed by email, web, text, telephone and through our contact centres about relevant products and services including tailored special offers, discounts, promotions, events, competitions and so on.
2. Contractual obligations

We may also send you direct marketing emails when you shop with us and do not choose to opt out - this is often called a 'soft opt in’.
