We may collect and process the following data about you:
Under the applicable data protection laws, we need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal data. The law allows for personal data to be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate interest of the organization.
In conducting commercial business, it is not practical for us to ask every individual for his/her consent. We have assessed our business interests in carrying out marketing activities and considered the impact the collection and use of personal data could potentially have on individuals’ rights. Our databases contain business data, which is used to promote business globally and such activities are unlikely to affect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals concerned. We have therefore concluded that the most appropriate lawful ground for the processing of your personal is ‘legitimate interest’, in your capacity as representative of your company (b2b).
In the event you request any goods and/or services from us, we will rely on our contractual relationship to process your personal data to provide such goods and/or services to you.
In certain very limited circumstances, we may also rely on a specific consent provided by you for the processing of your personal data. In those circumstances you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us – see our contact details below.
