10. REASONS WE CAN COLLECT AND USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The law on data protection sets out a number of different legal grounds upon which organisations can rely to allow the collection and processing of personal data. We rely on the following as set out below

Consent

In some cases we will specifically ask for your consent to process your data e.g. by ticking a box or confirming verbally that you consent. In these cases we will always clearly explain what we will do with your data and will keep a record of your consent.

Contractual Obligations

In other cases, we will need to use your personal data to actually do what you are asking us to do and to perform our contract with you. E.g. to film in your premises for you we will use your name and address to access your premises and may also share this with our contracted freelancers if required to deliver the video project you contracted us to provide.

Legal Compliance

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Legitimate Interest

In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. For example, we will use your contract history to send you or make available personalised offers that we think will be of interest to you and your business. We will also use your address and phone number to contact you with direct marketing information by post and phone, telling you about products and services that we think may be of interest to you and your business.
