OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Much of our processing will be under the basis of “contractual obligation” – in other words we need and use your personal information for providing the services you have requested or have contracted with us.

However, when we are communicating with you regarding products, content, events and services you may be interested in receiving from us in the future, our legal basis for processing your information is our legitimate interests.

This is because we are communicating with you in the context of your corporate identity, and not in relation to your private life, and we believe you may have a relevant interest in the services we provide in line with your corporate activity.

Of course should you not wish to receive these communications you will always have the opportunity to suppress or remove your information as detailed below.

ASKING US TO SUPPRESS OR REMOVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Should you wish to not receive information from us in future then you can quickly action this by clicking the unsubscribe link you will find in our marketing emails, or by sending your details directly to privacy@thetalentspace.co and we will suppress or remove your data as requested – assuming we have no other obligation to keep it, which we will notify you of if we do.
