The occasions where we will rely on legitimate interests as our processing condition are set out above. The legitimate interests are as follows: • To operate our activities and events: for health and safety, safeguarding and other reasons, we need to know who is attending our events and to have their identity and contact details and other information about them. We record attendance at out events so we know what activities you have taken part in. This also helps us with planning the content of future events and activities. • Direct marketing and promoting our services; examples include: Keeping you informed of updates about events and activities that we feel may be of interest to you based on your role, attendance at events or selection of “interested areas” in your dealings with us Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data In the above table where we outline the purposes for which we will use your personal data a number of bases are mentioned for processing personal data. The key is below: Consent: your consent to one or more specific purposes Legitimate interests: we’ve identified this is a legitimate interest of ours or a third party; we consider that use of your personal information is necessary to achieve that legitimate interest; and we’ve balanced all that against your interests, rights and freedoms Legal obligation - we’re required by law to do this Explicit consent - your explicit consent to one or more specific purposes Legitimate activities as a charity – we're allowed to process special category data where it is pursuant to the purposes and powers as a charity.

International transfers We do not intend to transfer your data outside the UK. However, if we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we will ensure that we comply with data protection laws and make sure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by using at least one of the following safeguards: • The country in question has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; or • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. i Data protection laws require you to have a processing condition (such as consent, or processing required by law) for processing all data. However, if the data is special category data (such as data relating to racial or ethnic origin or health data) we need an additional processing condition which reflects the increased privacy requirement of such data.
