However, there are certain circumstances in which sales-i cannot act without processing certain personal data, for example to process your orders, or to assist you with use of our services, or to provide access to a web offering or newsletter. In these cases, it will not be possible for sales-i to provide what you request without the relevant personal information. In some circumstances, sales-i may need to terminate your ability to use the services without access to your personal data. sales-i intends to notify you of whether such communication or data sharing is deemed mandatory and the impact of not sharing.
