How we use your information

The main purpose for which we process your personal data is so that we can provide you with content, products and services, in accordance with the contract you have with us (this includes where you have agreed to be part of a trial of our products and/or services). This includes determining eligibility for certain products, services and offers, as well as providing you with account management functionality (such as to update your contact information), processing and collecting payments, customer support (including diagnostics and trouble-shooting), call screening and blocking, and tailored and personalised experience whilst using our products and services such as recommendations for the content you subscribe to (including by sending you newsletters about your service, content and relevant products.)

We also process your data to deliver services to you under our contract in the following ways:

To enter into loan agreements with you, we obtain personal data about you from credit reference agencies. We then take automated decisions using that personal data about whether or not to enter into the loan agreement with you. This decision is influenced by your credit history and, depending on the outcome of this automated decision-making process, we may not enter into the loan agreement with you. If you would like us to review decisions taken about you as part of this process, please contact us as set out below.

To manage our products and services and traffic across our network. For example, Six Nations Update uses your information to facilitate the operation of its network by choosing the most efficient route to transmit your requests for a communications service through the various parts of its network of equipment and systems. This information is held securely within restricted areas, accessible only by authorised personnel and in accordance with our data retention, deletion and acceptable use policies;

To send newsletters to you about your service, content and relevant products.

To determine your eligibility and then enable your ability to access special rewards, perks and experiences within our Six Nations Update VIP Programme. Should you choose to enter into the terms and conditions for our Six Nations Update VIP Programme (a contract which is separate from the contract you have with us for subscription products and services) we will send you direct marketing in accordance with the terms of that contract and;

To check that you are using our products and services in accordance with the terms of the contract you have with us.

If you’re a Six Nations Update customer, where you give us consent, we will process your data in a number of ways, including:

In order to send or target you with direct marketing. This may include communications by post, telephone, SMS, email or other electronic means (such as push notifications and in-product notifications), using the contact details you have provided, about us and our content products and services, events and special offers, including, for a reasonable time after you have ceased to be a customer of ours (see further details below). We may also send you ‘abandoned basket’ marketing if you provided us your contact details (and given us consent to use them for marketing) during our online sales journey but didn’t complete your purchase. We will tailor the marketing based on what you added to your basket.

In order to process your data for online and digital advertising (see below at “How we share your information for online and digital advertising”) and;

How we use your information for online and digital advertising

We work with trusted partners to process your personal data for online and digital advertising purposes

This is different to our service (described above) and for the purposes described in this section we use information collected through cookies or similar technologies on our websites, apps and devices (such as device IDs, mobile advertising IDs, and IP addresses). We may also use your phone number and email address, though this will only be in a hashed format (which means that it has been converted into a string of numbers or letters to make it more secure), and our partner will only see that data if it is already used for an account on their site. We will never share your name and physical address with our partners, though you may choose to provide it to them directly when you interact with an advert (see below for more information).

Where we process your personal data for online and digital advertising purposes on our and third party websites, apps, and devices (including through cookies and similar technologies, which you will separately be asked to accept), the data may be combined with other information we hold about you, including information you have provided to us, information about websites you have visited, viewing activity, product holding and information about your use of our products and services, account number and history and Six Nations Update iD preferences so we can tailor the adverts you see, show you more relevant content or offers and define groups of audiences to whom we and our partners deliver digital adverts. We also use aggregated data to better understand advertising performance. We perform due diligence before a company becomes a partner to ensure they will handle your data in a secure and responsible manner.

In addition, if you interact with an advert (such as by clicking a link or scanning a QR code displayed in the advert) we will collect and use the information you provide to enable our partner to fulfil the interaction. For example, if you enter your name, address and payment details to purchase an advertised item, this data will be processed by the fulfilment agency to deliver that item. This information will also be used by us for the purposes described in this section.

If you don’t want your data to be processed for Six Nations Update or matched with the social media sites you use, let us know using one of the methods in the “Managing Your Marketing Preferences” section below. You might still see Six Nations Update posts or adverts on those social media sites, but they won’t be personalised using your Six Nations Update account data. You can also change your settings on that social media site to control the promoted posts you see there, and you can find more information on how that social media site uses your personal data in its privacy policy. Where we use cookies or similar technologies to process your personal data for online and digital advertising purposes, you can set and manage your cookie preferences on the relevant Six Nations Update or third-party website or app. After you have made your initial choice, you can change your preferences on Six Nations Update websites and apps using the ‘Privacy options’ link in the footer of the site or the settings within the app.

Where our partners are based outside of the European Economic Area, we work with these partners to make sure personal data is processed only if appropriate measures and controls are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations and regulatory guidance. Any data transfers will only take place on the basis of an approved data transfer mechanism as described in the section ‘How we share your information’ above.
