It is in the legitimate interest of SEERS Medical Limited to use such marketing lists to promote relevant products to the businesses sectors which are being marketed. We feel that there is no harm to any data subject rights as these are business to business contacts and in the event that a recipient does not want to receive further messages there is an unsubscribe function on the bottom of any correspondence.
