We will only process your Personal data in circumstances where we have established a lawful basis to do so. Our lawful bases for processing that Personal data include:

Legitimate Interests. We process Personal data for our legitimate business interest in managing and promoting our business, provided that our interest is not overridden by your interest. In identifying and relying on this basis for certain processing, we have weighed our legitimate interest as a business against your rights and freedoms and have determined that such processing will not unfairly impact your rights.

Please note that you have a right to object to the processing of your Personal data where that processing is carried on for our legitimate interest.

Contract. Depending on the circumstances, we may need to process your Personal data for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or related pre-contractual steps.

Consent. We may process your Personal data with your consent, as required by the GDPR. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
