• We have a contractual obligation with you When you buy a product or service from us, a contract is formed between us. In order to carry out our obligations under that contract, we must process the information you give us. We may use it to verify your identity for security purposes, provide you with our services or give you advice on how to obtain the most from using our services.
• Information we process for the purpose of legitimate interests We may process your data on this basis for the purposes of record-keeping, responding to unsolicited communication from you, protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party, insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk, protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so.
• Information we process because we have a legal obligation We may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
• Information we process with your consent Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide you with more information about our business, including our products and services, you provide your consent for us to process information that may be personal information. We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists. You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at claudiahall_uk@yahoo.com. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.

5. Disclosure and sharing of your information

There may be times where your information must be shared with 3rd parties. These may include service providers who provide IT services, auditors, lawyers, insurers and government bodies. Any data will be sent to 3rd parties securely.
