Your control over the use of your personal data

You have complete control over the use of your personal information by win4now.

We want the opportunity to make you offers and unless you are willing to agree to this you can't enter the competitions. However this permission can be revoked at any time through your account page or via an email unsubscribe link. If you do decide to revoke it, then competition entries already made will remain in force.

Consent to the transfer of your personal data to service providers acting for DMR who may be based outside the EEA and that DMR will take all reasonable required steps to ensure that your data and privacy rights continue to be protected

No data will be retained through the use of the "refer a friend" mechanism other than to notify the friend until that friend then decides to join and register with the site

Our site links to other web sites and we are not responsible for the content on those sites or their data policies and procedures.
