Why we process your personal data and the legal grounds
We only process your personal data if we have an appropriate reason to do so, such as:
- for the performance of a contract with you or in order to take steps at your request before entering into a contract;
- to comply with our legal obligations;
- for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party; or
- if you have given consent to our processing of your personal data.
We have a legitimate interest when we have a commercial or business reason to process your personal data, unless such reason is overridden by your own rights and interests.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a ground for processing your personal data, although we will get your consent when this is required by data protection law. We will also always ask for your consent before we process any special categories of personal data, unless we are permitted by law to process such data.
We may only use your personal data for the purposes for which we have collected it. If we need to use it for another purpose, we will inform you about this in advance and let you know the legal ground which allows us to do so.
We will use your personal data for the following purposes and on the following legal bases.

- {{Contract_Standard}}
- {{Contract_Custom}}

For example, we will keep your personal data whilst we have an agreement with you or if we have any rights or obligations that will survive termination of the agreement (such as any payment, liability or confidentiality obligations, for example) we may process your personal data even after the agreement we had with you has ended.
We may also keep certain information about your dealing with us for an indefinite period of time for statistical purposes if we ensure that you cannot be identified such information. Such information will not be personal data. For example, we may retain information about your order date, the products or services purchased, delivery post code, or payment method.

You may also request a copy of your personal data we process, but we may refuse comply with your request or comply with it partially where providing you a copy of your personal data would adversely affect the rights and freedom of others.

Following your request and where we have made your personal data publicly available, the law also requires that we take reasonable steps to erase any such data (this does not mean that we are required to ensure that anyone who has had access to your publicly available personal data and keeps copies of it removes such copies). We may be unable to satisfy your request for erasure, where we have there are legal grounds for our continued processing of your personal data, such as where the processing is necessary for our compliance with legal obligations, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data where you object to or contest the accuracy of our personal data processing, or where the processing is unlawful and you request the restriction of processing as opposed to erasure of your personal data; or where we no longer need your data but it is necessary for us to keep it for the establishment, exercise or defence of your legal claims. Where you have requested that the processing of your data be restricted, we may store your data but will generally need your consent for any other use, unless applicable law permits us to do so.

You may then transmit such data to another organisation or ask us to transmit your personal data directly to them.
Right to withdraw consent: Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you may withdraw such consent at any time. This will not affect lawfulness of our processing before your consent has been withdrawn.
