Facebook aggregates data gathered from the use of the Facebook Pixel on our website along with data gathered from other sources, in order to improve and target adverts displayed on its website or via its services, to improve its systems and to provide measurement services to third parties that use Facebook’s advertising services.

Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Act. Any access request may be made in order to understand how and why OMM are holding your data. We may charge a “reasonable fee” when a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive. We are entitled to request sufficient details to assist us in responding to a request.
You also have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for direct marketing purposes and the right to be “forgotten” which means you can ask us to delete all information held on you – though this will affect our ability to provide a service to you.
