2  CONSENT UNDER GDPR

If data processing is based on consent, any individual has the right to withdraw consent at any time without any justification, although this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal (Article 7 (3)).  We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to.  Most commonly we will only use your data in the following circumstances:

  • where we need to perform the contract with you or we are about to enter with you
  • where our sales/marketing staff need to contact you regarding new products and opportunities
  • where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interest and your fundamental rights do not override those interests
  • where we need to comply with legal obligations

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data, although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email.  You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.
