• obtain your views or comments on the product and services RetireEasy provides.
• automatically compute average values of certain fields from all user's completed LifePlans e.g. average inflation rate, average home value and other forecasts, in order to publish useful statistics to both users and the wider public and to aid marketing.

We collect information about where you saw the ads we serve you and what ads you clicked on.

RetireEasy will also use your personal data to send you further information about its products and/or services including special deals, sales and promotions. You can tell RetireEasy to stop this at any time by sending an e-mail to support@retireeasy.co.uk or calling RetireEasy on +44 (0)203 434 0034.

RetireEasy may transfer your personal data to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, but we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

Other than as set out above, RetireEasy will not disclose any of your personal data without your permission to anyone unless RetireEasy is required by law to do so (for example, if required to do so by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime).

Tell-a-Friend/Gift Vouchers

The Website may allow you to send details of RetireEasy and its products and services or RetireEasy gift vouchers to your friends by e-mail. Before you use our "tell-a-friend" or "gift voucher" service please satisfy yourself that your friend will want to receive the email from you. Before RetireEasy sends on your "tell-a-friend"/"gift voucher" email RetireEasy will check that your friend has not previously asked us not to send emails to them about RetireEasy's products and services. On the basis this is not the case, RetireEasy will send on your email and message to your friend and in doing so confirm to them who RetireEasy is.

Cookies

When you visit the Website, RetireEasy may store some information (commonly known as "cookies") on your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means that they cannot be used to track your movements around the web. Passwords and credit card numbers are not stored in cookies. A cookie helps you get the best out of the Website and helps RetireEasy to provide you with a more customised service. RetireEasy uses cookies for the following purposes:

• RetireEasy uses cookies so that you will not have to re-enter your details each time you visit the Website; and
• RetireEasy uses cookies to track how the Website is used and to improve and update it.

You can block or erase cookies from your computer if you want to (your browser's help screen or manual should tell you how to do this), but certain parts of the Website are reliant on the use of cookies to operate correctly and may not work correctly if you set your browser not to accept cookies.

The website at www.aboutcookies.org provides in-depth information about cookies. The website at www.aboutcookies.org also tells you how to remove cookies from your browser.

Transferring your information outside of Europe

As part of the services offered to you through the Website, the information you provide to RetireEasy may be transferred to countries outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA"). By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EEA or if one of RetireEasy's service providers is located in a country outside of the EEA. By way of example, this may also happen if you access the Website and receive the services in a country outside the EEA whether or not as a resident of one of these countries or as a visitor.

If you use RetireEasy's services while you are outside the EEA, your information and Information (containing third party personal data) may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with those services. In particular, this may happen when your membership expires or is terminated early in accordance with the Terms and RetireEasy then agrees to provide you with one copy of Your Information.

The countries in which you receive personal data and Your Information may not have similar data protection laws to the UK. If RetireEasy transfers your information and Information outside of the EEA in this way, RetireEasy will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this privacy policy. However, members who access the Website from outside the United Kingdom do so at their own risk and on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with their own local laws, to the extent that any local laws are applicable when RetireEasy transfers your information and Information outside the EEA on your request.
