You can do this:
- Through the settings in ‘My Account’ on the website
- By clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in an email
- By contacting by email or telephoning 01929 554191

If you unsubscribe from marketing message emails you will still receive service communications such as order confirmations, dispatch confirmations etc.
Seeing ads for Purbeck Living online

Like many companies, we target Purbeck Living ads to you when you are on other websites such as Facebook or Instagram. We do this using a range of advertising technologies like pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by these social networks, such as Facebook’s Custom Audience service.
The ads you see will be based on information we hold about you, or your previous use of the Purbeck Living website (for example, your search history, and the content you read on the Purbeck Living website) or on Purbeck Living ads you have previously clicked on.

We’ll hold your information securely for as long as you have your account, or so long as is needed to be able to provide our services to you, or for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.

- The right to request the correction of any personal information we hold about you which is inaccurate (although you can probably do most of this through your account).
