4. Lawful basis for processing
There are 6 lawful bases for processing personal information:
• Contract
• Legal Obligation
• Consent
• Legitimate Interest
• Vital Interest
• Public Task
Three of these are used by Cedaro Ltd.
Contract – By purchasing through us, you are entering into a contract with us as well as your chosen network and/or insurance provider. This basis is used when we process your information for the purpose of initiating and finalising those contracts.
Consent – We may ask your consent to be contacted for marketing purposes at the time of taking out a contract. Where this basis is used, it will be clear and require a positive opt-in.
Legitimate Interest – This is used for all other purposes where the Contract or Consent basis are not suitable. For example: processing customer information for marketing purposes or backing up data for the ability to recover from a system failure. Legitimate Interest is used when we have a genuine, lawful need to process your information to achieve a business objective and our interest is not over-ridden by your own interests, rights or freedoms.
5. Your rights and choices
At any point while we are in possession of or processing your personal data, you, the data subject, have the following rights:
