10 LEGAL BASES FOR US PROCESSING YOUR DATA
There are a number of different ways that we are lawfully able to process your personal data. We have set these out below.
Where processing your data is within our legitimate interests
We are allowed to use your personal information where it is in our interests to do so, and those interests aren't outweighed by any potential prejudice to you.
We believe that our use of your personal information is within a number of our legitimate interests, including but not limited to:
• To administer our platform for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, and statistical and survey purposes
• To help us understand you better and provide you with better, more relevant services
• To ensure that our systems run smoothly
• To help us keep our systems secure and prevent unauthorized access or cyber attacks
• To drive commercial value
We don't think that any of the activities set out above will prejudice you in any way. However, you do have the right to object to us processing your personal information on this basis. We have set out details regarding how you can go about doing this in the "Access, Correction and Inquires" section below.
Where you give us your consent to process your personal data
We are allowed to use your personal information where you have specifically consented. In order for your consent to be valid:
• It has to be given freely, without us putting you under any type of pressure;
• You have to know what you are consenting to – so we'll make sure we give you enough information;
• You should only be asked to consent to one thing at a time – we therefore avoid "bundling" consents together so that you don't know exactly what you're agreeing to; and
• You need to take positive and affirmative action in giving us your consent – for example, we could provide a tick box for you to check so that this requirement is met in a clear and unambiguous fashion.
We seek your consent when you register to use our platform or website. Before giving your consent you should make sure that you read any accompanying information provided by us so that you understand exactly what you are consenting to.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, and details of how to do so can be found above in the "Right to withdraw consent" section above.
Where processing your personal data is necessary for us to carry out our obligations under our contract with you
We are allowed to use your personal information when it is necessary to do so for the performance of our contract with you.
For example, we need to hold your email address in order to be able to send you reports and other analysis where you have requested them.
Please acknowledge that you have read and understood the terms of this Privacy Policy, and indicate your consent to your information (including any SPDI) being collected for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and for its handling and storage in the manner as set out in this Privacy Policy.
