Doncasters will stop any marketing to which you object, refuse or reject or in respect of which you withdraw your consent within a reasonable period, in order to allow sufficient time for the change to be administered. In such cases Doncasters will remove all your private personal information (if applicable) and any commercial information from its database(s), respecting your changed direct marketing preferences.
