Fenwick would like to keep in touch with you and so, depending on your marketing preferences, we may use your personal data to send you marketing messages by email, phone, SMS or post. Some of these messages may be tailored to you, based on your previous browsing or purchase activity (including purchases you make in-store), and other information we hold about you.
