Contractual Obligations - In most circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.
Legal Compliance - If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data. For example, keeping records as required by HMRC.
Legitimate Interest - In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business, and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom, or interests.
