Please note that our clients may capture other personal data about an individual that is not shared with Indicia Worldwide. Further details of this can be found on the privacy policy of that client.
Where we have a legal basis to use an individual’s personal information without consent (as we have described above), this policy fulfils our duty to process personal information transparently, and helps us to do so fairly and lawfully and in a manner that you would expect given the nature of our relationship with each individual, by giving each individual appropriate notice and explanation of the way in which personal information will be used.
Where consent is required for our use of an individual’s personal information, our data partners and/or clients will ask an individual to positively opt-in by ticking the appropriate consent box.
Indicia Worldwide uses a range of statistical techniques to identify which products and services offered by our clients will be relevant to each individual. We do this by comparing the characteristics of individuals that have purchased products to the characteristics of people who haven’t yet purchased.
This information is provided by our data partners who, in turn, build models to identify these characteristics. For example, by using anonymous research surveys, our data partners are able to identify certain features of the likely lifestyle of a consumer, based upon other information known about that individual. This information is passed to Indicia Worldwide, who will then use it as part of our own data modelling. A full list of the characteristics our suppliers provide to us is shown below:
At no point does Indicia Worldwide operate any modelling that is solely automated. At all times, Indicia Worldwide’s data team are managing how these models are working and they are not left to run independently and so there is human decision-making involved in the modelling process.

Please check our clients’ privacy policies for further information about how they use this data.

We may also need to share an individual’s personal information with a regulator or otherwise to comply with the law or to respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies.
Processing personal data
Indicia Worldwide work closely with our Data Partners to ensure the data we’re using is accurate and fit for purpose at all times. Our suppliers provide us with regular updates to the data they provide to ensure we can identify individuals who have opted out of receiving marketing communication from Indicia Worldwide and our clients.
In addition, Indicia Worldwide automatically remove any individual who unsubscribes from an email communication we deliver on behalf of our clients.
