We will only send these communications to you if you have given us your consent to do so. If you choose to receive them, you may opt to stop receiving these emails or update your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us at info@thehonestproject.com. The legal basis for us processing your information in this way is your explicit consent.

We use third parties, such as service providers, to collect, store and process personal data on our behalf.

In order to protect your privacy, we require that all our service providers keep the personal data we provide them confidential and adequately secure. They are also required to abide by data processing agreements and applicable protection legislation. Where this involves a transfer of data out of the EEA, we will ensure that the receiving party has the necessary safeguards in place to protect your data to the extent we are required to do so by Irish Data Protection law. Furthermore, communicating via the internet and other electronic means necessarily involves personal information passing through or being handled by third parties such as our internet service provider. Save for these disclosures, any information which you provide to us shall not be disclosed to any third parties without your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted to disclose such information by law or regulation.
