We may give information (except sensitive information such as health information) about you to other members of MCB Group (where the law allows this) so that these companies may communicate with you directly about their products and services. This consent will also apply to any company that forms a part of MCB Group in the future. You also agree that we may provide you with information about or from third parties we select. Your consent to this is not a condition of doing business with us and you may withdraw it at any time by sending us a written request.

This consent will also apply to companies that form a part of MCB Group in the future. Your consent to this is not a condition of doing business with us and you may withdraw it at any time.
Third Parties
For the purposes described in this Policy MCB Group may share your personal data with any company belonging to the MCB Group.
