Information shared with advertising partners
Where we share information with advertising partners for measurement purposes, contact details such as your email address or telephone number are converted into an encrypted form before they are sent. This process is designed so that the information cannot be read by the recipient and can only be used to match against a record they already hold. We do this to understand which of our advertisements lead to genuine enquiries, so that we can spend our advertising budget more effectively.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
