    use this for our own purposes.  In addition, sometimes we may use some of your personal information

    together with others to give us statistical data for our own business reasons.  Because this is grouped

    about in section 6, unless we consider that any new purpose is compatible with these reasons.  If we wish

    allow us to do this.

    that you want to object to us processing your personal information, you have the right to do so.  

b)  In addition to the rights set out in section 15a) above, where we rely on consent as the legal reason for

     using your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent.  We will only use your

      send to you, we provide a link or instructions to either unsubscribe or opt-out, or to change your

      marketing preferences. You can also contact us on the details set out at the beginning of this notice to

      indicate marketing preferences.

c)   If you do request that we stop marketing to you, this will not prevent us from sending communications to

      you which are not to do with marketing (for example in relation to services or digital content which you

      have purchased from us).

d)  We do not pass your personal information on to any third parties for marketing purposes unless it is in

      the use of professional marketing services for business purposes of Cameron HR Ltd.
