Legitimate Interests – We are permitted to process your personal data if it is based on our ‘legitimate interests’ i.e. we have good, sensible, practical reasons for processing your personal data which is in our interests. To do so, we have considered the impact on your interests and rights, and have placed appropriate safeguards to ensure that the intrusion on your privacy is reduced as much as possible. The table in the previous section “WHY DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA” explains the personal data processed on this basis.
You can object to processing that we carry out on the grounds of legitimate interests. See the section “YOUR RIGHTS” to find out how.

Consent – Sometimes we want to use your personal data in a way that is entirely optional for you, such as when you sign up to our newsletter. On these occasions, we will ask for your consent to use your information. You can withdraw this consent at any time by following the instructions in the marketing communication (e.g. clicking “unsubscribe” in the marketing email) or reaching out to us using the information in the section “How to Contact Us”.

Who will have access to your personal data?
We use external providers that act as our processors who provide typical services required by all organisations such as website development, data storage, email service providers and IT hosting. These providers process your personal data as part of the services they offer to us. We take steps to ensure that our service providers process your data in accordance with the Data Protection Laws, only use it in accordance with our contract with them and keep it secure. If you would like more information about our processors, please contact us using the details at the section “How to contact us”.
We strive to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in order to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access and any other unlawful forms of processing. We aim to ensure that the level of security and the measures adopted to protect your personal data are appropriate for the risks presented by the nature and use of your personal data. We follow recognised industry practices for protecting our IT environment and physical facilities.
Your rights

You can exercise these rights free of charge, by contacting us (please see section “How to contact us”). We will respond to any rights that you exercise within a month of receiving the request unless the request is particularly complex, in which case we will respond within three months.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
