You will always give you the right to opt out. We will request specific consent (Opt-In) to allow us to communicate with you for purposes other than those related to our relationship.
People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used.
If you receive emails from us, we may use certain analytics tools, to capture data such as when you open our email or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data helps us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.

GDPR provides a data subject with the following rights:

For instance, while we might receive a request for erasure of data from a Data Subject related to that subject, we may not be able to erase data related to that subject which is necessary for the performance of our legal obligations for record keeping. A simple example is that we could erase non-critical correspondence but we are obliged to retain details of the purchase orders, invoices etc which relate to that Data Subject for period as required by laws related to accounting and business record keeping.
Should you wish to exercise any of these Data Subject Rights please send a request to gdpr@shireburn.com.
