PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING AND THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING

In order for Image & Co to fulfil its contractual and customer obligations, there is a requirement to collect specific personally identifiable information relating to our customers. The legal basis for the processing of such personally identifiable information is that it is necessary for the performance of a service to which the data subject is party (e.g. an appointment booking) or, in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a service (e.g. a consultation or enquiry).

In other cases (for example, receiving employee benefits) we will be processing your personal information using the lawful basis of fulfilling a contract with the third party benefits provider or the employer.

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS OF IMAGE & CO OR THIRD PARTY
