Legal Basis for the Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information

If you are accessing the Services or our website from the European Union, we are required to explain the legal basis for which we collect and use your personal data. We consider that the legal basis for using your personally identifiable information as set out in this privacy policy are as follows:

  1. our use of your personally identifiable information is necessary to perform our obligations under any contract with you; or
  2. our use of your personally identifiable information is necessary for complying with our legal obligations; or

    1. run, grow, and develop our business;
    2. operate our website;
    3. carry out marketing, market research, and business development; and
    4. for internal group administrative purposes.

If we rely on our (or another person’s) legitimate interests to use your personally identifiable information, we will undertake an assessment to ensure that our (or the other person’s) legitimate interests are not outweighed by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection. You can ask us for information on this assessment by contacting us at gdpr@SecureDocs.com.
