We may use the email address you have provided to us to send you customised online advertising messages or inform the targeting of customers like you via social media platforms. These messages include information about our products, special offers or company news which we believe would be of interest to you. We do this by sharing your email address securely with social media organisations such as Facebook and Twitter, who then process your information to match our marketing objectives.
