Legitimate Interests
Under the GDPR law coming in to effect on the 25th May 2018, we are able to process your information using a number of lawful reasons, one of which is legitimate interest.

Examples of when we may use your data under this provision are:
– Direct Marketing

Our interests
Some examples of our legitimate interests being used in practice are:
– Direct Marketing: Sending campaigns about our products and services, which will be carefully tailored to ensure they match your interests and job role/

Your Interests
When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we will consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection and any other relevant law.
Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests – we will not use your personal data for activities that would have an unreasonable impact on you and override our reason to contact you. If we feel that any activity may override our legitimate interest but still wish to contact you, we will seek consent and only proceed once permission is received.
At any time, you have the right to contact us for any of the following regarding your data:
Access: You have the right to access the personal data we may hold about you and the purposes for which we are using it. On receipt of such a request we will endeavour to respond to you as soon as possible, at most within 30 days.
