The legal basis for processing

Under Data Protection Law, there are various grounds which are considered to be a ‘legal basis for processing’.
The legal basis for processing should be determined by the Data Controller.

Where we are the Data Processor, the legal basis is determined by the Customer. Typically, the legal basis in this scenario is:
                ‘processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest’

Where we are the Data Controller, the legal basis for processing is based on:
                ‘processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the controller’

It should be noted that in some circumstances this legal basis may vary, however, we always operate in full compliance with Data Protection Law and will only process data with a fair and reasonable legal basis for doing so.

Your name or the company / business name – as provided by you.

How we process your personal information
