  • Contractual Obligations: When you engage with us as a client, we may need to process your data to fulfil our contractual obligations.

  • Legitimate Interests: We process certain data to improve our services and ensure a secure, functional website experience. Legitimate interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

We also rely on your consent when you opt in to receive marketing communications and newsletters. Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, we will process your data on that basis.
