Our legal basis for processing your data
Legitimate interests
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR states that we can process your data where it “is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [us] or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of [you] which require protection of personal data.”
Employees, ex-employees and agency workers
We hold personal information about you for legitimate interests to enable us to meet our contract with you.
Customer data
We think it reasonable that if you have communicated with us in the past or we have had meaningful contact with you within the past 5 years that there is legitimate interest that you will continue to benefit from our continued communication.
We want to provide potential customers with the opportunity to hear about our products and services and request additional information. We therefore deem it that if you operate in a sector that regularly benefits from our products and services and your information has been made available in the public domain that we can contact you to advise you of our products and services. We will have an upfront and honest approach to this and provide you with the opportunity to opt out of any further communications from us. Personal details may be used to for administrative purposes including invoicing.
Supplier data
We store and process the personal data of individuals within your organisation in order to facilitate the receipt of services from you as one of our suppliers. We also hold your financial details, so that we can pay you for your services. We deem all such activities to be necessary within legitimate interests.
Contractual reason
Article 6(1)(b) gives us lawful basis for processing personal data where; “processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract”
In this context, a contract does not have to be a formal signed document, or even written down, as long as there is an agreement which meets the requirements of contract law. Broadly speaking, this means that the terms have been offered and accepted, you both intend them to be legally binding, and there is an element of exchange (usually an exchange of goods or services for money, but this can be anything of value).
