We do not use the information in any way other than in the furtherance of our objects and purposes.
We might also use your information for the following purposes:

Anonymity
It is your right to be dealt with anonymously, provided that is it lawful and practicable.
We will try to accommodate a request for anonymity wherever possible, however, we note that in some circumstances, this may prevent us from practically and effectively communicating with you.
