- Legal obligation: The processing is necessary for us to comply with the law
- Legitimate interests: The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests

5. Data Protection Principles
We ensure that all personal data we process is:
- Processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner
- Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes
- Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary
- Accurate and kept up to date
- Kept in a form which permits identification for no longer than necessary
- Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security
6. Data Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
- Encryption of personal data in transit and at rest
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Access controls limiting who can access personal data
- Staff training on data protection responsibilities
- Incident response procedures for data breaches
7. Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay. We will also notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible.
8. International Data Transfers
We primarily store and process data within the United Kingdom and European Economic Area. If we transfer your personal data outside these regions, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with GDPR requirements.
9. Third-Party Processors
When we engage third-party service providers to process personal data on our behalf, we ensure they are bound by appropriate data processing agreements that require them to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data.
10. Complaints
If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
