5. We also use your data to communicate with you where you have signed up and opted in to receive information from us (the lawful basis for this is "consent").

6. Our legitimate business interests are balanced with your interests, rights and freedoms and your consent.

We are committed to processing your information in line with high standards and in compliance with the GDPR, wherever you are located. For the definition of terms used within this Privacy Policy please refer to the GDPR. You can find out more about the GDPR from the European Commission's website here.
