Legitimate interest is when we have a valid business reason to process your data. However, this must not go against your interests and should be within what would generally be considered acceptable and fair.

Other areas of the law cover sensitive personal information, none of which we will collect - e.g. ethnic origin, sexual orientation.
Outside of these areas, the only other situations we would process your personal information in would be:

How we process data supplied by clients

Beyond the data we hold ourselves, we will often handle data supplied to us by clients to process on their behalf for specific reasons.
In all cases, C-Store Collective will act as a Data Processor acting under the direct instruction of the client, the Data Controller.

Processing of personal data on behalf of clients

The client shall at all times comply with all Data Protection Laws in connection with the processing of Protected Data.

The client shall ensure all instructions given by it to C-Store Collective in respect of Protected Data (including the terms of this Agreement) shall at all times be in accordance with Data Protection Laws.

The client shall indemnify and keep indemnified C-Store Collective against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fines, sanctions, interest, penalties, costs, charges, expenses, compensation paid to Data Subjects, demands and legal and other professional costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis and in each case whether or not arising from any investigation by, or imposed by, a supervisory authority) arising out of or in connection with any breach by the client of its obligations.

Instructions

C-Store Collective will only process personal information in accordance with a contracted agreement except where otherwise required by applicable law (and shall inform the client of that legal requirement before processing, unless applicable law prevents it doing so on important grounds of public interest); and if C-Store Collective believes that any instruction received by it from the client is likely to infringe the Data Protection Laws it shall promptly inform the client and be entitled to cease to provide the relevant Services until the parties have agreed appropriate amended instructions which are not infringing.

Security

Taking into account the state of technical development and the nature of processing, C-Store Collective shall implement and maintain the technical and organisational measures to protect the Protected Data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access.

Sub-processing

C-Store Collective will inform the Data Controller of any sub-processors which are to be used so that an agreement can be put in place prior to any processing being carried out.

Assistance

C-Store Collective will (at the client’s cost) assist the client in ensuring compliance with the client’s obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to C-Store Collective.

We will also assist in responding to requests for exercising the Data Subjects’ rights under Chapter III of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws) in respect of any Protected Data.

International transfers

C-Store Collective shall not process and/or transfer, or otherwise directly or indirectly disclose, any Protected Data in or to countries outside the United Kingdom or to any international organisation without the prior consent of the client.

Breach

C-Store Collective shall notify the client without undue delay and in writing on becoming aware of any Personal Data Breach in respect of any Protected Data.

Deletion/return

At the end of the provision of the Services relating to the processing of Protected Data, at the client’s cost and the client’s option, C-Store Collective shall either return all of the Protected Data to the client or securely dispose of the Protected Data (and thereafter promptly delete all existing copies of it) except to the extent that any applicable law requires C-Store Collective to store such Protected Data.
