  • where you have given consent;
  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
  • for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract; or
  • for our legitimate interests or those of a third party

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your personal data, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own.

Which lawful basis we rely on may affect your data protection rights which are in brief set out below. You can find out more about your data protection rights and the exemptions which may apply on the ICO’s website:

If you make a request, we must respond to you without undue delay and in any event within one month.

  • Contractual necessity – where we need personal information to perform our contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract. All of your data protection rights may apply except the right to object.
  • Legitimate interests – where we are collecting or using your information because it benefits you, us or someone else, without causing an undue risk of harm to anyone. All of your data protection rights may apply, except the right to portability. Our legitimate interests are:
    • facilitating the contract between us and you, detecting and correcting errors, improving our services, safeguarding our property, preventing fraud or other crimes, and performing risk assessments.

Our lawful bases for collecting or using personal information for service updates or marketing purposes are:

  • Consent – where we have permission from you after we gave you all the relevant information. All of your data protection rights may apply, except the right to object. To be clear, you do have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

We only retain personal information for reasonable amounts of time and only for as long as necessary to provide our services, or as required by law. We delete your information when you delete your account, unless we have to keep it to comply with applicable laws, there is an outstanding issue or claim that requires us to keep it until resolved, or the information must be retained for legitimate business purposes.

  • Professional or legal advisors
  • Organisations we’re legally obliged to share personal information with
  • Suppliers and service providers acting as processors who are used to provide and manage our cloud environment

When transferring personal information outside of the UK/EEA, we comply with the UK GDPR or the EU GDPR, making sure appropriate safeguards are in place.

For further information, please contact us using the contact information provided above.

We have appropriate security measures to prevent personal data from being lost accidentally, or used or accessed unlawfully. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your personal data will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality

We also have procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
