What personal data do we hold about you and where does it come from?

At BAT, we need some information about you, and will collect and hold the information listed in the table below under ‘ What Type of Information ’ so we can manage any current or future relationship  we may have with you. We obtain this information either directly from you or from your employer, or from third parties who lawfully provide it to us (including publicly available materials) including the organisers of public events you attend.

How do we use your personal data, how do we legally do this and how long do we keep it for?
