Secondly, we rely on the 鈥榣egitimate interests鈥 basis where our use of the data has been analysed to be balanced in our interests. This would cover our marketing and business intelligence and certain sales functions, certain use of our analytics tools, our personalisation of your content, and our engagement of third-party providers to provide any non-essential functions.
