When we rely on legitimate interests as a legal basis for processing your personal data, we must consider whether those legitimate interests are overridden by your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms.

If this were to change and if we think that there is a risk that one or more of your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms may be affected, then we will not use your personal data unless there is another legal basis for us to do so (for example by obtaining your consent or to satisfy a legal obligation).

In doing so, we rely on the European Commission's decision on the adequate protection of personal data by the United Kingdom under the General Data Protection Regulation. The Decision, which can be publicly accessed Here helps us to ensure that personal data transferred remains adequately protected, as required by applicable law.
