What is the legal basis of the processing?

• Performance of a contract: to the extent such processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into any such contract.
• Legitimate interests: to the extent such processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests we pursue to the extent we have concluded that our processing is not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights or freedoms that require the protection of personal data. Examples of this might include website tracking and marketing or advertising.
• Consent: where we have obtained your consent to the relevant processing activity. Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.
Marketing
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. You can change your marketing preferences at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe option at the bottom of our marketing emails. We will endeavour to give effect to your preference changes as soon as possible but please note that it can sometimes take up to 7 days for a change to become effective due to the way in which our systems are configured.

Who will your personal data be shared with?
We may share your personal data with any third parties that help us provide services, with legal or other professional advisors.
Any such transfers will be in compliance with our obligations as a controller under the UK GDPR, the DPA and other applicable national data protection laws. Some of these persons may process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and others will themselves be responsible for their use of your personal data.
We do not transfer your personal data of the UK.
We will never sell your personal data and in all cases, Kolleno will ensure that your personal data is only disclosed for the purposes set out above and in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of compliance or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, tax, accounting or other requirements.
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
