Consent is obtained using clear and specific statements that are prominently displayed as part of the registration process on the sites, and can be withdrawn at any time by you.

Our Purpose for Processing Your Personal Data

WRM has 3 main business purposes:

  • To manage the participation of the registered individual in draws and/or promotions organised by us.
  • To meet the purposes of funding our free websites. The commercial use of our competition website prizes are mainly funded by advertising and through the sending of commercial communications of named third parties, market and/or product/item reviews etc. To this end, it is necessary to submit the data of a consumer that registers on our site ("registered individual") to standardisation, filtering and verification. The categories and methods of marketing communication which the registered individual’s may receive will be determined, subject to their active consent. All Companies and Partners are listed on our site, prior to registering.
  • To communicate, (via email, telephone or the chosen contact method) the data of interest to WRM selected companies and trusted partners ("named third party companies"). Advertising will be sent by these named third party companies, subject to explicit, active consent by the registered individual during the process of signing up or registering to our websites.

We may also process your personal data where the benefits of doing so are not outweighed by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of individuals.

Our Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Data

The basis of legitimization for the purposes of our processing is:

  • To manage the participation of the registered individual in draws, promotions and/or device testing campaigns organised by WRM as promoted directly via its owned sites, including marketing by us.
  • For the fulfilment of a contract with selected Companies and trusted Partners.
  • To carry out third party advertising campaigns / market studies by us where consent has been obtained from the registered individual.
  • To communicate the registered individual’s data to companies, organisations and/or entities interested that they have actively consented to, in carrying out advertising campaigns / market studies.
  • To share your data with Marketing Services Providers under the legal basis of Legitimate Interest for the purposes listed below

When you have given us clear and unambiguous permission to contact you in certain ways i.e. by email or by telephone, we process your data with your Consent. You can object to us processing your personal information for this purpose as described below, under the ‘Your Rights’ heading. We will minimize the data and process it only where it is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes stated above, in accordance with Art. 5 (1), (c) of the GDPR);

Collection and Use of Your personal data

We collect your details when you register on one of our websites. ‘Personal data’ means the information you provide during the registration process and any information you provide when entering prize draws, quizzes, surveys or competitions. Registration is required to participate in any of the branded surveys on the site, but is not required to browse.

The categories of personal data we may collect from you upon registration of via visiting our website:

  • Your name
  • Your title
  • Your date of birth
  • Your contact information, including email and phone numbers
  • Demographic information
  • Your address and postcode
  • Your IP address or other online identifiers such as Cookies

Use of Your Personal Data

We use your personal data collected via the WRM sites to:

  • Provide you with information about the products and services we offer
  • Provide you with a more personalised service
  • Conduct market research
  • Run prize draws and promotions
  • Pass on your details to selected Companies and Trusted Partners which provide you with other offers and promotions of interest to you
  • Share your data with third party companies who may contact you. These organisations will have a relationship with you or it may be used where they have a lawful reason, which may include these organisation's own legitimate interest. Use includes tracing of individuals, verification and/or validation of the identity of individuals for the purposes of, but not limited to, anti-money laundering regulations, national security, crime prevention and detection, enforcement, anti-fraud processes, asset recovery and asset reunification.
  • For analysis purposes or to build data products. In these instances, the information is aggregated and wherever possible anonymised in line with the ICO’s code of practice. Again, these products are of a marketing nature.

We may process your personal data ourselves or through data processors that will process data on our behalf (we retain full responsibility) for ensuring the data processor complies with this policy and all current data protection regulations).

Depending on the consents that you set up at the time of registration and what personal data we hold about you, we may pass your personal data to our partners who may contact you by post, email, SMS and telephone for direct marketing purposes.

We may share your data with selected third parties for marketing communications, market research, analysis, and to profile and extend their databases by appending additional information to an existing information they may already hold on you as their customer.

Email and Telephone/SMS data will only be released to third parties where you have given your positive consent (usually at the time of registration) allowing you to fully understand your registration preferences.

You can change or update your communication preferences at any time

Telephone data will only be released to carefully selected partners where it has been TPS’d (see ‘Opting Out’ below). Note: if you request a call from one of our sponsors or brand partners this will override the TPS.

We will only store your data in accordance with our Data Retention Policy. To read our Policy, click here.

Under data protection laws we are permitted to share some information where the reason for doing so is legitimate and isn’t outweighed by the effects it will have on the relevant individuals. On that basis we may pass your information to Data OD Ltd who may share this information with other third parties. The data that is shared may be used for analysing, modelling and contact for purposes including affordability assessments, anti-money laundering, asset repatriation, contact information validation, credit risk and affordability assessments , debt collection services , determining debt portfolio value, fraud prevention services, identity verification services, pre-populating online forms, vulnerability assessments and other related services. If you do not wish for your data to be used this way by Data OD Ltd please opt-out using this link https://dataondemand.co.uk/opt-out/.  You can use this link to opt-out at any time after you have shared your data. You can also email MyInfo@dataondemand.co.uk with any requests about your information. For additional information about how your data is processed by Data OD Ltd, please use this link https://dataondemand.co.uk/personal-data-privacy-notice/

Profile Matching (aka Profiling)

To enhance the services we provide, we aim to match your profile to third companies that we determine from analysis that will have goods or services that would be of interest to you. It makes sense for us to ensure that you only receive offers that are relevant to you and fit within the context of your lifestyle and available purchasing power.

The data that we provide to our third parties may be added to the information that they already hold about you. As an example, a car insurance company will check whether you have been a customer of theirs before. This is to ensure that they provide the right types of products, services and pricing to you.

Data sharing in this way allows them to contact you in their own name about their products, services, promotions, offers and competitions.

We do not knowingly, deliberately or aim to, collect personal data from children under the age of 18, either for registration or for marketing purposes.

Your Data and our Marketing Services Providers

We will share your data with the Marketing Services Providers listed below, who will use it as an input to products and services to help organisations better understand the likely characteristics of their customers; communicate with them more effectively; and find others like them across a range of marketing channels.

We do this on the basis that it is in our legitimate interest to share data with our partners.

Marketing Services Providers will not contact you directly, but may build a profile about what characteristics, interests, or priorities people might have. MSPs combine several data sources including for example the open electoral register, Land Registry data and other sources. This enables their clients (banks, utilities, Local Authorities etc) to send you targeted direct marketing or create products or provide services which you might be interested in. For example, only sending 'first time buyer' mortgage offers to younger people in rental properties and not sending them offers for retirement cruises.

Marketing Services Providers will also try to match and then link your data with data that they receive about you from other sources, to make sure that the data they hold about you is correct. For example, they might do this to:

  • Check whether you have recently moved address; or
  • Keep the IP address they hold about you up to date. IP addresses change regularly. The IP address they receive from us might change too quickly to make the data you provide through us useful for marketing purposes. Marketing Services Provider might find it helpful for this to be refreshed from time to time to ensure marketing messages are being delivered to the correct consumers, on the correct device(s).

They share your data, including the profiled data they have created about you, primarily to:

  • Help organisations better understand the likely characteristics of their customers (and find others like them);
  • Improve the relevancy and appropriateness of an organisation’s marketing to its customers (e.g. offers, its products and services); and
  • Help them communicate with their customers more effectively offline and online. This may mean that you receive tailored advertising via direct mail or when you visit a website.

We usually only permit Marketing Services Providers to use these details to contact you for a pre-specified limited period. They, like us, are obliged to comply with all relevant data protection requirements regarding their holding and use of these details including screening (according to the method used to contact you) against the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and Mailing Preference Service (MPS) prior to use. Your IP address during registration (see 'Cookies' section 46 for more details) may also be shared with our partners for the purpose of validation.

Participating Marketing Services Providers may also use your personal data for the purposes of fraud prevention, e.g. anti-money-laundering and debt tracing according to their privacy policies.
