We may share your data with our carefully selected sponsors and partners (as may change from time to time) but we will only do this if you have consented to receive marketing relating to our sponsors and partners or if one of the conditions in the paragraph above applies.

In all instances where we disclose your information to third parties, we will ensure that your information is appropriately protected.
