We have checked that legitimate interests is the most appropriate basis.
We understand our responsibility to protect the individual’s interest.
We have conducted a legitimate interests assessment (LIA) and kept a record of it, to ensure that we can justify our decision.
We have identified the relevant legitimate interests.
We have checked that the processing is necessary and there is no less intrusive way to achieve the same result.
We have done a balancing test, and are confident that the individual’s interests do not override those legitimate interests.
We only use individual’s data in ways they would reasonably expect, unless we have a very good reason.
We are not using people’s data in ways they would find intrusive or which could cause them harm, unless we have a very good reason.
We do not process children’s data.
We have considered safeguards to reduce the impact where possible.
We have considered whether we can offer an opt-out.
If our LIA identifies a significant privacy impact, we have considered whether we also need to conduct a DPIA.
We keep our LIA under review, and repeat it if circumstances change.
We include information about our legitimate interests in our privacy notice.
