Legal Basis for Data Processing

Our legal bases for processing personal data include consent, contractual necessity and our legitimate business interests. We only process special category data with explicit consent.

Record Keeping

We maintain internal records of data processing activities for demonstration of compliance with regulations. Records include processing purposes, data sharing and retention policies.

Data Protection by Design

We employ a Data Protection by Design approach when developing products and services, assessing data privacy risks early and designing features to prevent or mitigate potential impacts.

Data Protection Impact Assessments

We conduct assessments of high-risk data processing to identify and address privacy risks. Assessments evaluate necessity and proportionality, risks to rights and freedoms and measures to mitigate risks.

Breach Notification

We follow all applicable data breach notification laws. In the event of a qualifying data breach affecting EU or UK data subjects, we will notify supervisory authorities within 72 hours and affected data subjects without undue delay.

Protecting Special Categories of Personal Data

We implement additional security protections when processing any special categories of personal data, such as health, biometric or religious data. These enhanced measures ensure compliance with legal obligations for sensitive data.

Data Minimization

We collect only the minimum amount of personal data necessary to deliver our services. Data collection is adequate, relevant and limited to fulfil stated purposes.

Joint Controller Arrangements

In situations where we jointly determine means and purposes of processing with another controller, we define our respective responsibilities for complying with data protection obligations through formal arrangements.

Supplier Oversight

We conduct information security assessments on third-party suppliers that may process personal data in order to continually evaluate whether their security controls are in line with legal requirements and our policies.

Status of UK Data Post Brexit

We recognize that the personal data of UK data subjects will continue receiving the UK GDPR standards of data protection, as provided by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Our policy is to continue applying EU GDPR principles to UK data.
