We do not require your consent when processing your personal data when responding to your enquiry received through the “general enquiries” function, email or telephone.

However, in circumstances, we may approach you for your consent to allow us to process your personal data for marketing purposes. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the information that we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent.

In the circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time by contacting us in writing or emailing us at info@dominionmarine.com

Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another lawful basis for doing so.
