The three axes
Each is evidenced separately and may have been read on a different day. The date under each clause is the date of that clause, not of this page.
What refusing costs you
You have to ask
Opting out of our marketing services is simple. You have the right to object to us using your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including any profiling or similar activities which are performed as a precursor to direct marketing. You can contact us at ukconsumer@transunion.com and ask to opt out of the marketing services we provide to clients. If you opt out, we will add your name to our marketing suppression list, and ensure your data is not used for any of our marketing services. Please be aware that is may take up to 30 days to process any such request.

None of the recipients on file are entities this site grades yet. That's a gap in the corpus, not a finding about TransUnion UK.
Right of reply
DisputedWe note your website is already live and publicly accessible, and that the assessment given to TransUnion does not align with the ratings given to similar entities with an opt out procedure substantially the same as Transunion’s. We are not sure, therefore, whether your assessment has accurately understood TransUnion’s business as we note that it is, and was on your initial review, simple and straightforward for individuals to opt out of the use of their personal data for any marketing purpose at no cost to them (by email notification to ukconsumer@transunion.com).
We would ask that you check your information against TransUnion’s privacy notices as a whole (some of which were recently updated following their annual review), and the opt out process which remains the same, which you can find at the following webpages: · Marketing Services Privacy Notice | An Information & Insights Company · Marketing services and your data | An Information & Insights Company · Contact TransUnion UK | An Information & Insights Company
