  • where it is needed in the public interest; and

  • where you have given your consent.

 

  1. Situations in which we will use your personal information

         We need all the categories of personal information described above primarily to allow us to:

*       perform our contract with you;

**    enable us to comply with our legal obligations; and

***  pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests

​

The situations in which we will process your personal information are listed below.  We have indicated by asterisks from the above list the principal legal basis upon which we are processing or will process your personal information.  Please note, however, that some of the grounds for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal information.  Where the legal basis of legitimate interests is applicable, we explain what these are in italics.

  • To establish and manage our relationship with you and to provide services to you (including with respect to the projects we run in which you participate). *

  • To carry out business operational and administrative activities (including record-keeping and audits) and to ensure security and business continuity. *

  • As is reasonably necessary to trace you, e.g. to trace debtors and enforce or seek to obtain settlement of amounts owing to us due to default of payment. ***We need to be able to recover monies that you owe to us which may require additional processing of your personal information, for example you have changed your address without telling us.

  • For use in connection with any legal proceedings (including prospective legal proceedings) and for obtaining legal advice or for establishing, exercising or defending legal rights. ***In order to protect our position in relation to legal proceedings we may need to analyse records including your personal information and share it with our professional advisors, third parties and the courts.

 

 

  1. Special category personal information

Data processing may include the processing of special category personal information about you.  Such special category personal information requires higher levels of protection.  We need to have further justification for collecting, storing and using this type of personal information, 

​

We may process special category personal information in the following circumstances:

  1. In limited circumstances, with your explicit written consent;

  2. Where we need to carry out our legal obligations and in line with our data protection policy; and

  3. Where it is needed in the public interest and in line with our data protection policy.

  4. ​

Less commonly, we may process this type of information where it is needed in relation to legal claims or where it is needed to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests) and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the information public.

​

The most common processing of special category information by us occurs when:

  • you tell us you or your child, or a child over whom you have parental responsibility, is allergic to a particular foodstuff or hair product/ingredient
