Legitimate interests
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR states that we can process personal data where it “is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [us] or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of [you] which require protection of personal data”.
Client data
We think it reasonable that if the individual has communicated with us in the past or we have had meaningful contact with the individual within the past 5 years that there is legitimate interest that the individual will continue to benefit from our continued communication. We want to provide potential clients with the opportunity to hear about our services and to have the ability to request additional information from ourselves.
Contractor/Contractor/Supplier data
We store and process the personal information of individuals within interested organisations to facilitate the receipt of services from them as one of our consultants/contractors/suppliers. We may also hold financial details, so that we can pay for services provided. We deem all such activities to be necessary within legitimate interests.
Contractual
Article 6(1)(b) gives us lawful basis for processing personal data where; “processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract”
In this context, a contract does not have to be a formal signed document, or even written down, if there is an agreement which meets the requirements of contract law. Broadly speaking, this means that the terms have been offered and accepted, both intend them to be legally binding, and there is an element of exchange (usually an exchange of goods or services for money, but this can be anything of value).
Customer Data
Where we have entered into a contractual agreement to deliver products and services with an individual we will process the appropriate and required information to do so. i.e. address details of the business.
