Legal basis for use of your personal information

We consider that the legal bases for using your personal information as set out in this privacy policy are as follows:
(a) our use of your personal information is necessary to perform our obligations under any contract with you (for example, to fulfil an order which you place with us, to comply with the terms of use of our website which you accept by browsing our website and/or to comply with our contract to provide services to or receive services from you or your employer); or
(b) our use of your personal information is necessary for complying with our legal obligations (for example, for health and safety purposes); or
(c) where neither (a) nor (b) apply, use of your personal information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others (for example, to ensure the security of our website). Our legitimate interests are to:
(i) run, grow and develop our business, including but not limited to forming and maintaining business relationships and engaging in business sales, acquisitions or joint ventures;
(ii) operate our website;
(iii) respond to your enquiries or other communications;
(iv) keep a record of our dealings with you;
(v) select appropriately skilled and qualified suppliers;
(vi) ensure a safe environment for our employees and suppliers;
(vii) carry out marketing, market research and business development;

(x) for internal group administrative purposes.
If we rely on our (or another person’s) legitimate interests for using your personal information, we will undertake a balancing test to ensure that our (or the other person’s) legitimate interests are not outweighed by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of the personal information. If you are based in the EU, you can ask us for information on this balancing test by using the contact details here.

If you are based in the EU, we may use your special categories of data (such as health and wellbeing information) where you have provided your consent (which you may withdraw at any time after giving it, as described below).

We may process your personal information in some cases for marketing purposes on the basis of your consent (which you may withdraw at any time after giving it, as described below).

How and why we share your personal information with others

We may share your personal information with our group companies where it is in our legitimate interests to do so for internal administrative purposes (for example, for corporate strategy, compliance, auditing and monitoring, research and development and quality assurance).

We will share your personal information with the following third parties or categories of third parties:
(a) subcontractors, who we use to indirectly provide you with our business or services. Such suppliers will also share your personal information with us;
(b) our IT service providers, such as My Recruitment, MYOSH, Pronto, Moodle, SAP, and Salesforce, who may access personal information stored within their respective solutions when providing support and maintenance purposes;
(c) we may share anonymised and aggregated statistical information with our suppliers to demonstrate what interest there has been in any marketing campaigns we have assisted our suppliers in carrying out;
(d) our other service providers and sub-contractors, including those that assist us with archiving, auditing, accounting, customer contact, legal, business consulting, banking, payment, debt collection, delivery, data processing, data analysis, information broking, research, investigation and insurance;
(e) companies that assist us with our recruitment process, for example, background check services;
(f) companies that assist in our marketing, advertising and promotional activities; and
(g) analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our website.

Any third parties with whom we share your personal information are limited (by law and by contract) in their ability to use your personal information for any purpose other than to provide services for us. We will always ensure that any third parties with whom we share your personal information are subject to privacy and security obligations consistent with this privacy policy and applicable laws.

We will also disclose your personal information to third parties:
(a) where it is in our legitimate interests to do so to run, grow and develop our business, such as:
(i) if we sell or buy any business or assets, we may disclose your personal information to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
(ii) if substantially all of our or any of our affiliates’ assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal information held by us will be one of the transferred assets;
(b) if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, any lawful request from government or law enforcement officials, rules of any stock exchange and as may be required to meet national security or law enforcement requirements or prevent illegal activity;

We may also disclose and use anonymised, aggregated reporting and statistics about users of our website or our goods and services for the purpose of internal reporting or reporting to our group or other third parties, and for our marketing and promotion purposes. None of these anonymised, aggregated reports or statistics will enable you to be personally identified.

Save as expressly detailed above, we will never share, sell or rent any of your personal information to any third party without notifying you and, where necessary, obtaining your consent. If you have given your consent for us to use your personal information in a particular way, but later change your mind, you should contact us and we will stop doing so.

How long we store your personal information

We keep your personal information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the personal information is processed.
