If you have received a direct marketing email from us and no longer wish to do so, the easiest way to let us know is to click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our marketing emails.

Teachers To Your Home will gladly help to clarify the specific lawful basis that applies to the processing, and in particular provide you with an explanation as to why the collection of the personal information is necessary. Where possible we have provided specific explanation texts displayed prior to the data collection to advise you why we are collecting this personal information.
