  • As necessary for certain legitimate business interests, which include the following:
  • where we are asked to deal with any enquiries or complaints you make;
  • if you ask us to delete your data or to be removed from our marketing lists and we are required to fulfil your request, to keep basic data to identify you and prevent further unwanted processing; and
