What is our legal basis for processing your Personal Data?

In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your Personal Data, the GDPR requires us to ensure that we have a legal basis for that use. Most commonly, we will rely on one of the following legal bases:

• Where we have your specific consent to carry out the processing for the Purpose in question (Consent).

Generally we do not rely on your Consent as a legal basis for using your Personal Data. Where we have determined, acting reasonably and considering the circumstances, that we are able to rely on Legitimate Interests as the legal basis on which to process your personal information in certain circumstances, we have reached this decision by carrying out a balancing exercise to make sure our legitimate interest does not override your privacy rights as an individual.

We consider that it is reasonable for us to process your information for the purposes of our legitimate interests as: (a) we process your information only so far as is necessary to achieve our intended purpose; and (b) it can be reasonably expected for us to process your information in this way.
