  • account information
  • competition entries
  • transaction records
  • customer-service communications
  • marketing preferences
  • IP and device information

3. Marketing

Entering a competition does not automatically constitute consent to unrelated marketing.

Where consent is required, customers are provided with a separate choice. Marketing consent never uses pre-ticked boxes, and customers can withdraw consent at any time.

4. Sharing

Impact may use appropriately contracted service providers for matters such as:

  • payment processing
  • hosting
  • email and SMS delivery
  • analytics
  • customer service
  • fraud prevention
  • professional advice
  • prize fulfilment

Impact does not sell personal information to third parties.

5. Winner information

Impact may need to make limited winner information available in connection with a promotion.

Additional photographs, videos, testimonials or promotional appearances are handled according to the Winner & Publicity Policy and applicable consent requirements.

6. Retention

Personal information is retained only for periods justified by its purpose and applicable legal requirements. Impact maintains a documented retention schedule.

7. Your rights

Depending on applicable UK data-protection law, individuals may have rights relating to:

  • access
  • correction
  • deletion
  • restriction
  • objection
  • portability
  • withdrawal of consent

Requests can be made to privacy@impactcomps.com.

8. Complaints

Individuals may contact Impact at privacy@impactcomps.com regarding privacy concerns, and may have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

Each competition records the terms version applied at the time of entry. Competition-specific conditions always sit alongside these documents on the relevant competition page.
