The bases on which we process information about you

The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information. Also, to notify you of the basis for each category.

However, if a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data.

If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we determine that we can continue to process your information.

1. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you

When you create an account on our website, make a transaction, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is in place between you and us.

In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.

We may use it in order to:

• verify your identity for security purposes

• make a transaction

• provide you with our services

We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.

Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor our performance with respect to a particular service we provide. If we use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable.

We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or either party decides to terminate under the terms of the contract.

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

• if we could achieve the same objective through other means.

• whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm.

• or, whether you would expect us to process your data, and whether you would, in the round, consider it reasonable to do so.

For example, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:

• record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of, ie Ltd.
