This document is important as it allows us to explain to you what we will need to do with Your Personal Data, and the various rights you have in relation to Your Personal Data.

Alternatively, either in the course of initial discussions with you or when the contract between us has come to an end for whatever reason, we have the right to use Your Personal Data provided it is in our legitimate business interest to do so and your rights are not affected.

On occasion, we will use Your Personal data for contractual responsibilities we may owe or for wider compliance with any legal or regulatory obligation to which we might be subject.
