Google Customer Match and Facebook Custom Audiences
Please note that this affects only those users/customers who are existing Google
or Facebook customers. We use Google’s Customer Match and Facebook’s
Custom Audience features. This information allows us to show personalised
adverts to our users and/or customers while they are logged into Google and/or
Facebook and may also be used to create lookalikes of similar audiences for
targeting. This is matched on a pseudonymised basis without ever leaving our
servers, and is known as ‘hashed data’. We do not send any new information to
Google or Facebook that it does not already hold. The exception is that we may
send information to either Google or Facebook as necessary to fulfil our
instructions to serve relevant advertising as our data processor.
Google and Facebook will be unable to see the personally identifiable data of
those users/customers who aren’t Google or Facebook customers. If you wish to
opt out of the use of your data in this way, please email us at
privacy@loqbox.co.uk. You can manage your advertising preferences by
updating your Google and Facebook settings.

services to you and that you have provided your consent by using our products
and services. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at
