      1. Personal data, or personal information, means any information relating to an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the information has been removed (anonymous data). There are special categories of more sensitive personal information which require a higher level of protection (see further at section 4.2, below).
      2. We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Our principle lawful basis for processing is set out in the table below. However, some of our grounds for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal information.

      4. Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although, if you are a private individual, we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.
      5. We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
      6. Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.
      7.
