We’re keen to promote efficient water use and we may send you offers or make you aware of products that help with this. Also, from time to time we may tell you about other offers we think may interest you.
We may do this, or we may share your information with carefully selected partners who offer services or products that we think you may be interested in. Every time we contact you about such offers we will give you the opportunity not to hear about anymore.
If you don’t want to receive such offers at all, please let us know – you can email or call us on 03457 500 500.

(vi) Right to Restrict Processing
You can request that no further processing of the personal data we have previously collected occurs.
Please be aware that there may be circumstances when we are unable to complete your request , most likely because we could not provide you with water, waste water or billing services. If this is ever the case, we will inform you of the reason and provide details of how you can register a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office if you believe we have got this wrong.
Automated decision making and profiling – please note we do not currently conduct any automated decision making, including profiling, as defined by UK Data Protection laws.
