In addition, we require basic information to contact you in the event of a problem or query, and can be used to bring details of services and products for which you have subscribed to your attention. Relatively sensitive information is on occasion requested to allow for profiling of visitors, in order to enable generic reports to some of our customers. The most obvious reason why we collect ID information is to allow data-integration with other bodies, for verification and/or field-population purposes. But we are just as opposed to spam as you are. How does EB safeguard your information? Keeping your information secure is one of our most important responsibilities, but let us start to answer this question by outlining the instances in which we are deemed / permitted to disclose user information, being: Authorised by user EB will not use user information without obtaining the user's consent, which consent may be express or implied.
