Legal basis for processing any personal data

Under the GDPR there is a requirement for a legal basis to process personal data. Our lawful bases for processing data are as follows:

Legal Obligation

We are subject to the law like everyone else. We need to keep accounting and tax records and other business paperwork, this may contain personal information. Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.

For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

When you enquire about our products and services or place an order we have a contractual obligation to process your data. Under this legal basis, we will continue processing relevant personal data to fulfil the terms of the contract.

We may also provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services that may be relevant to you.

Consent

Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide you more information about our business, including job opportunities and our products and services, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.

Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.

Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.

If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may from time to time pass your name and contact information to selected associates whom we consider may provide services or products you would find useful.

We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent, or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us by email to privacy@getsupport.co.uk However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.

Legitimate Interests

We may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us, of doing so.

Where we process your information on this basis, we do so after having given careful consideration to:

whether the same objective could be achieved through other means
whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm

record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of our business
responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you would expect a response
