Our legal basis for collecting personal data

Collection of personal data based on legitimate interest:

• We may use personal data if it is deemed to be of legitimate interest and if the privacy interests of the data subjects do not outweigh this interest. In order to determine the legal basis for collecting data, an assessment is normally made which establishes a mutual interest between the parties and the individual. This legal basis relates primarily to our sales and marketing purposes. We will always inform individuals about their privacy rights and the purpose of collecting personal data.
