What is our legal basis for processing?

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

Legitimate interests

We may use your personal information if it is reasonably necessary for us to do so and in our “legitimate interests”.

Legitimate interests will be used where we have considered any potential impact on you, whether our processing is excessive and that our processing does not unduly impact your rights.

You have the right to object to us using your personal information for legitimate interests. Please contact us if you have any concerns or would like further information.
