Automated decision making and profiling

If you confirm that you would like to be contacted with further information regarding our products and services we will add your details to our marketing database and a profile regarding your interaction with our website and content will be created.

Once you are added to our marketing database we will update your profile with information regarding your interaction with our website, online portals (including social media) and regarding which products or services you have shown a particular interest. Further interactions with our website will then be linked to this account so we can better tailor our correspondences with the interest that you have shown in PARASCADD and our products and services and provide further information on products and services that are likely to be of interest to you.

This information is used to assess your profile objectively to consider whether you might be interested in purchasing new or further PARASCADD products and/or services. If we think this is likely, a member of the PARASCADD team will contact you to take things forward in this regard.

You are entitled to ask that we do not make automated decisions about you or use your personal data for profiling purposes. Please refer to the section on Your rights to know what personal data we hold and to control how we use it for further details in this regard.
