Lawful Basis For Processng Personal Data
We will only process your data where we have a legal basis for doing so. There are 6 lawful reasons for processing personal data which are:
Contractual – the processing is necessary to fulfil a contract we have with you, or because you have asked you to take specific steps before entering into a contract
Legal Obligation – the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law
Vital Interests – the processing is necessary for us to protect a person’s life
Legitimate Interest – the processing is necessary for our legitimate interest, and this does not override an individual’s personal data rights and freedoms
Consent – you have given clear consent for the processing of your personal data
Public Task – the processing is necessary for us to perform a task in the public interest or for our official functions
Most of the processing we carry out in relation to your data is done to fulfil our contractual obligations with you, but we also have legal obligations to keep and use certain personal data, legitimate interests and consent.
If we are relying on the legitimate business interest basis for lawful processing be assured that we only do this where we have considered carefully the risks to your rights and freedoms (as we are required to do by the GDPR) and we will not process personal data on this basis if we have any doubt that your rights might be adversely affected. We also revisit this assessment regularly and update our procedures according to our findings.
