We may also collect your membership status, points balance, and any offers, vouchers, and discounts applicable to you from our loyalty partners.
Where you are required to undergo a verification of identity, we may also collect your personal information (including biometric data) from third parties who provide verification of identity services on our behalf as part of the sign-up process.
