Lawful basis for the processing of personal data
The table below describes the various forms of personal data we collect and the lawful basis for processing
this data. Our business architecture, accounting and systems infrastructure and compliance organization means
that all personal data is processed on common, Group-wide platforms. We have processes in place to make sure
that only those people in our organization who need to access your data can do so. A number of data elements

where this happens, this is also identified below.
When we process on the lawful basis of legitimate interest, we apply the following test to determine whether
it is appropriate:
The purpose test – is there a legitimate interest behind the processing?
Necessity test – is the processing necessary for that purpose?
Balancing test – is the legitimate interest overridden, or not, by the individual’s interests,
rights or freedoms?
