Why We Collect Your Personal Information

We collect personal information for the purposes of providing our services, managing our relationship with you, direct marketing communications, and offering relevant products and services.

We collect information directly from you when you use our website, during service delivery, or through authorised third-party services. This may include:

• Information you enter into our search fields (such as location data)
