OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

By law, we need a legal basis for processing the personal data of a website user or client. We will process your data using the legal basis of consent, contract, legal obligation and legitimate interests.

Consent is given where we ask you for permission to use your information in a specific way and you agree to this.  Where we use your information for a purpose based on consent, you have the right to withdraw consent for this purpose at any time. For example, you consent to receive our Newsletter by email.

Contract

Legal obligation

We have a basis to use your personal information where we need to do so to comply with one of our legal obligations.  For example, we need to hold your data for seven years due to HMRC requirements.

Legitimate interests

We have a basis to use your personal information if it is reasonably necessary for us to do so and in our “legitimate interests” (provided that what the information is used for is fair and does not unduly impact your rights).

For example, we have a legitimate interest to keep your personal data on our systems in order to keep it secure, process it and to provide you with a service.
