Principles
Notice
In accordance with this Privacy Policy, where we collect Private Information, Protagonist will inform the individual divulging that information of the purpose for which it collects and uses the Private Information and the types of non-agent third parties to which Protagonist discloses or may disclose that Information. Protagonist will provide you with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of your Private Information to third parties. Notice will be provided in clear language when you are first asked to provide Private Information to Protagonist, or as soon thereafter as is reasonable. For example, our Cookie Policy provides instructions in the event you would like to disable the collection of Browser Cookies. In all circumstances, this notice will be given prior to Protagonist’s use or disclosure of the Private Information for a purpose other than for which it was originally collected.
How we may use your information:
In addition to using your information (i) to provide you with requested information, products or services and general account management and the management of traffic across our network, and (ii) in accordance with the Cookies Policy, we may also use your information in the following ways:
- To monitor and improve our products, services and websites or for market research.
- To assist us in complying with any legal or regulatory requirements; to protect or enforce our rights or the rights of any third party.
- We may disclose your information to any successors of our business for them to use for the purposes set out in this privacy notice.
- Where you have given us your consent to contact you (including by SMS and e-mail) with products and services which we think may interest you. You can unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time.
We will not disclose, sell or rent your personal information to any third party unless you have consented to this. If you do consent but later change your mind you may contact us and we will cease any such activity.
Choice and Onward Transfers
We will request your consent in advance in the event that your Private Information will be (i) disclosed to a third party or, (ii) used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected.
For clarity, with respect to sensitive Private Information, at the time of collection, Protagonist will give you the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly (opt out) consent to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than the one for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you and will endeavour to treat sensitive Private Information received from you in the same way as you would treat it. Protagonist shall ensure that any third party to which Private Information may be disclosed subscribes to the same Privacy Principles or is subject to law providing the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Privacy Principles.
Third party sites
The Site may contain links to other websites operated by third parties. Please note that this privacy policy applies only to the personal information that we collect through our Site, (or via competitions on our applications on third party websites including social networks where there is a link to this policy), or receive from third parties with your consent and we cannot be responsible for personal information that third parties may collect, store and use through their websites. You should always read the privacy policy of each website you visit carefully.
In addition, when you provide to us information on a third party site or platform, (for example via our competitions on our applications on social networking sites), the information may also be collected by the third party site and may be subject to their privacy policy.
Data Security
Protagonist will take reasonable steps to protect Private Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Protagonist has implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial processes to secure Private Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Protagonist cannot guarantee the security of Private Information on or transmitted via third-party electronic networks such as the Internet.
Data Integrity

Access and Rights
Protagonist shall, within a reasonable period after your request, allow you to access your Private Information subject to a fee specified by law (currently £10) and permit you to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate information, unless the cost of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of other persons would be violated by permitting access to such information. You have the right to opt out of marketing communications that we (or any third party to whom we have disclosed your personal information with your consent) may send you.
Enforcement
Protagonist uses a self-assessment approach to ensure compliance with this Privacy Policy and verifies periodically that the policy is accurate and comprehensive for the information intended to be covered, prominently displayed, completely implemented, and accessible and in conformity with the Privacy Principles. Protagonist encourages interested parties to contact us with any concerns using the contact information provided. Protagonist will investigate and attempt to resolve any complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of Private Information in accordance with the Privacy Principles.
