We may disclose your personal data to:
If you provide personal data to us about someone else (such as one of your directors, officers or employees, or someone with whom you have business dealings) you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that personal data to us and that, without our taking any further steps, we may collect, use and disclose that personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.
You must ensure the individual concerned is aware of the various matters detailed in this Privacy Policy, as those matters relate to that individual, including our identity, how to contact us, the way in which we collect and use personal data and our personal data disclosure practices, that individual's right to obtain access to the personal data and make complaints about the handling of the personal data, and the consequences if the personal data is not provided.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current and we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that this is the case but we do not undertake to check or verify the accuracy of personal data provided by you. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us either by logging onto your account on the website or by contacting us. We will not be responsible for any losses arising from any inaccurate, inauthentic, deficient or incomplete personal data that you provide to us.
It is possible that personal data we collect from you may be transferred, stored and/or processed outside the country or area in which it was collected (e.g., transferred from the European Economic Area to the United States, and stored and processed in the United States).

It is your choice as to whether you provide us with your personal data necessary to enter into a contract or as part of a contractual requirement. If you do not provide your personal data then the consequences of failing to provide your personal data are that we may not be able to perform to the level you expect under our contract with you. An example of this would be where we are unable to provide you with certain products or services as we do not have your full details, or where we cannot perform our contract with you at all because we rely on the personal data you provide in order to do so.
We use automated decision making in our processing of your personal data. We use the following logic in our marketing automation platforms to profile your website activity, certain aspects of your company as well as certain personal data in our databases. This includes (but is not limited to) the application of profiling data to your personal profile.

We use such automated decision making to determine whether we believe a particular marketing campaign or program is applicable to you.
