Other types of legal basis that we rely on to process your personal information are included within this Privacy Notice.

 

Whilst we always want you to be aware of how we are using your personal information, this does not necessarily mean that we are required to ask for your consent before we can use it.

 

If we choose to process your personal information for any purpose incompatible with those described in this section, we will provide you with appropriate information in order to obtain your consent (where required) or to be able to satisfy our legal obligations, prior to commencing any such additional processing activities.

 

You are not required to give consent just because we ask for it. If you do give consent you can change your mind and withdraw it at a later date by contacting us and requesting to be removed from the mailing list on the following email address: info@worldlogisticspassport.com
