The legal bases for which we process each category of personal data are as follows:

 Application data

Consent via application

Newsletter, Event and Publication Notifications

Legitimate Interest

Legitimate interest means we have a legitimate business interest. When we process your Personal Data based on our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you and your data protection rights. We will not use your Personal Data for activities where privacy impact may override legitimate business interests (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted by law).Consent means that an individual has given us clear, explicit consent to process their personal data for a specific purpose. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

How long will the data be stored for?

For data processed on a consent basis, it is retained as long as the individual wishes us to retain it for. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. For data processed on a legitimate interest basis, it will be retained for as long as there is a purpose associated with the legitimate interest. An individual may object to their data being processed on this basis. For data processed on the basis of a legal obligation, it will be retained in accordance with the requirements of the associated statute or regulation.

What rights do you as the data subject have?

Data protection legislation confers the following rights on individuals:

1. The right to be informed

An individual has a right to know whether an organisation processes personal information relating to them and certain additional information in relation to the processing, such as its purposes, the categories of data, the recipients of the data, and the existence of additional rights such as the rights to erasure and objection (where applicable).
