  • We process certain personal information under the lawful basis of legitimate interests because it is necessary for us to deliver and support the services our clients expect, while ensuring these interests do not override the rights and freedoms of the individuals involved. Our legitimate interests include: • Managing and maintaining effective business to business relationships with clients, suppliers and partners, ensuring the correct individuals are contacted for project delivery, technical discussions, service updates and operational support. • Ensuring the secure operation of our platforms, systems and development environments, including monitoring access, detecting misuse, and protecting our infrastructure against cybersecurity threats.

We have assessed these interests carefully and determined that: • The personal information we use is limited, proportionate, and necessary for providing consultancy and technology services. • The processing poses minimal risk to individuals, as it relates mainly to business contact details and service related interactions. • Individuals would reasonably expect their information to be used in this way during a commercial engagement with us. • Our use of the information does not override the rights or freedoms of the people whose information we process. • We have implemented appropriate safeguards, including access controls, data minimisation and secure storage, to further protect individuals’ information.

Ensuring the security and integrity of our platforms, including monitoring account activity and access logs to detect misuse, protect against security threats, and maintain the resilience of our environments. This protects both our clients and our organisation. Supporting continuity of service, including recording accountrelated information such as configuration details, support interactions, and projectrelated access requirements, so we can deliver services smoothly across teams and over time. Providing efficient communication and coordination, ensuring we can contact the correct individuals about account usage, technical updates, planned maintenance, or any issues that may affect service delivery. Improving the administration and performance of customer accounts, including reviewing how accounts are used so we can streamline access, reduce friction and enhance the customer experience without impacting individual privacy. We have assessed these interests and determined that: The processing is necessary and proportionate for operating customer accounts and delivering our contracted services.

Improving the usefulness and relevance of our communications, including measuring engagement at an aggregate level to refine content and reduce unnecessary messages.

Our lawful bases for collecting or using personal information for research or archiving purposes are: 

  • Legitimate interests – we’re collecting or using your information because it benefits you, our organisation or someone else, without causing an undue risk of harm to anyone. All of your data protection rights may apply, except the right to portability. Our legitimate interests are: 
  • We process limited personal information under the lawful basis of legitimate interests because it is necessary for us to understand how our services are used, improve their performance, and maintain appropriate internal records, while ensuring that these interests do not override the rights and freedoms of the individuals whose information we process. Our legitimate interests include: Maintaining internal records and archives to support service continuity, understand historical project context, and improve the quality and consistency of our services over time. Carrying out internal research and analysis, such as reviewing anonymised or pseudonymised website analytics, usage patterns, and service performance data, to make informed decisions about improving our systems, website and customer experience. Ensuring our services remain reliable, secure and relevant, by analysing technical trends, identifying areas for optimisation, and learning from historical information in a way that benefits our clients and supports longterm service improvement. We have assessed these interests and determined that: The information we use for research or archiving is minimal, proportionate and often anonymised or pseudonymised wherever possible. Individuals would reasonably expect a professional services organisation to maintain internal records and analyse service performance. The processing poses a very low privacy risk, as it does not involve special category data or intrusive profiling. The processing does not override individuals’ rights, and we provide clear mechanisms for people to exercise those rights if they wish. We apply strong safeguards such as access controls, secure storage, and data minimisation to protect any personal information involved. Overall, this processing is necessary for us to maintain accurate internal records, improve our services responsibly, and operate efficiently as a business, while ensuring that individuals’ privacy is fully respected.
