Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

The foundation upon which we collect and utilise the personal information described above is contingent on the specific datatype and the context in which it is obtained. Typically, we will gather your personal information only if:

 

1.        We need the data to fulfil our obligations under a contract we have with you.

2.        Our legitimate interests dictate it: Processing personal data is essential to operate our platform and communicate with you as needed. For instance, when responding to your inquiries, analysing platform usage, improving our services, marketing to existing customers within legal limits, and identifying or preventing illegal activities.

3.        You consent: You have granted us explicit authorisation to process your personal data.

 

In certain situations, we may also be legally obligated to collect your personal information or require it to safeguard your or someone else's vital interests. If we request your personal information to comply with a legal obligation or fulfil a contract, we will clearly inform you at the appropriate time and advise you whether providing your personal information is necessary or not (along with the possible consequences of not providing such data).

 

If we collect and utilise your personal information based on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), it will typically be to operate our platform and communicate with you as required. For example, responding to your inquiries, analysing platform usage and improving our services, undertaking marketing activities for existing customers within legal limits, and detecting or preventing illegal activities. We may have other legitimate interests, and we will inform you at the relevant time what those interests are. We rely on these legal bases to process data for the following purposes: to assist in providing services (e.g., customer support and usage data) and to market our services to you within legal limits.

 

If you have any questions or require further information regarding the legal basis upon which we collect and utilise your personal information, please contact us using the contact information provided under the "How to contact us" heading at the bottom of this notice.
