BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS MARKETING
We may use business contact information to communicate with existing and prospective business Customers about Fiesta Studios products, catalogues, ranges, exhibitions, offers and other information relevant to our wholesale business.
The rules applying to electronic marketing differ depending upon the type of recipient.
Where electronic marketing is sent to corporate subscribers, we may send relevant business-to-business marketing where permitted by applicable law.
Where the recipient is an individual subscriber, including certain sole traders and partnerships, we will only send electronic marketing where we have an appropriate lawful basis and the requirements of applicable electronic marketing legislation have been met.
Where applicable, this may include consent or the existing-customer exemption commonly referred to as the “soft opt-in”.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe facility included in our marketing emails or by contacting us.
We may retain limited information about an unsubscribe request to ensure that your preference continues to be respected.

No electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we maintain procedures for responding to suspected personal-data breaches.
