We are required by law to set out in this privacy policy the legal grounds on which we rely to process your personal data. We rely on one or more of the following lawful grounds:
you have explicitly agreed to us processing your information for a specific reason;
the processing is necessary to perform the agreement we have with you or to take steps to enter into an agreement with you; the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation we have such as keeping records for tax purposes or providing information to a public body or law enforcement agency; or the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by us or a third party, which might be:
(a) to provide our services to you or our clients and other third parties and ensure that our client engagements are well-managed;

(c) to protect our business interests;
(d) to ensure that complaints are investigated;
(e) to evaluate, develop or improve our services or products; or(f) to keep you or our clients informed about relevant products and services and provide you with information, unless you have indicated at any time that you do not wish us to do so.
To the extent that we process any special categories of data relating to you for any of the purposes outlined above, we will do so because: you have given us your explicit consent to process that data; we are required by law to process that data in order to ensure we meet our ‘know your client’ and ‘anti-money laundering’ obligations (or other legal obligations imposed on us); the processing is necessary to carry out our obligations under employment, social security or social protection law; the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or you have made the data manifestly public.
