We also receive personal details regarding their employees primarily to facilitate business. It is also possible that third parties with whom we have had no prior contact may provide us with information about you.

Legitimate interests: where a third party has shared information about you with us and you have not consented to the sharing of that information, we will have a legitimate interest in processing that information in certain circumstances. For example, we would have a legitimate interest in processing the information to perform our obligations under a sub-contract with the third party, where the third party has the main contract with the partner. Our legitimate interest is the performance of our obligations under our sub-contract. Similarly, third parties may pass on information about you to us if you have infringed or potentially infringed any of our legal rights. In this case, we will have a legitimate interest in processing that information to investigate and pursue any such potential infringement. If we receive information about you from a third party by mistake and we do not have a legal basis for processing that information, we will delete the information.

Legal basis for processing: our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation). Legitimate interests: in certain circumstances, we will have a legitimate interest in obtaining information about Partners from public sources.
