The purpose of the processing and legal basis for processing

We collect and process personal data as follows:

Marketing our services
We may process your business contact details in order to send you occasional marketing materials or invitations by email, post or phone. These will be regarding topics or services we consider relevant to your role. The data we hold and process will be limited to name, address, contact details, role, correspondence and conversation history if any. We do our best to ensure you are only contacted regarding topics or services that are relevant to your role, based on your job title. If we base this processing on anything else, it will be telephone or email communications which took place directly with you. We hold no other personal data in relation to this.

Our events
We may collect your individual contact and related information (as well as that of anyone who is attending the event with you) as necessary to enable you and any other relevant individuals to be invited to, and to attend, the event and to facilitate your attendance.

Clients
We may collect your individual contact information to enable us to communicate with you in relation to the provision of services by us (for example, in relation to the management and administration of the provision of the relevant services) and other personal information relating to you to in the course of providing the services concerned (for example, taxation, company/business bank account or other financial details, and other information relating to you that is included in any communications between us and you or anyone you work with in the course of provision of the services).

Suppliers
We may collect your individual contact information to enable our employees, our clients or other suppliers of ours to communicate with you in relation to the provision of goods or services by you or the company that you work for (for example, in relation to the management and administration of the provision of the relevant goods or services) and other personal information relating to you to in the course of provision of the goods or services concerned.

Prospective suppliers
We may collect relevant individual contact information relating to you to the extent necessary to enable that assessment to take place – for example, if we need to assess or confirm your age, your right to work in the UK, your skills and previous experience, your qualifications or whether there is anything (for example, relating to your past history, your health or your conduct or reputation) that would adversely affect your suitability or ability to provide the goods or services concerned.
