Legitimate Interest
Legitimate interest
“Legitimate Interests” means the interests of our organisation in achieving our aims. For example, we have an interest in communicating with our supporters to provide information on our work supporting disabled people and how to support our fundraising, campaigning and volunteering work.
When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate interests do not automatically override your interests - we will not use your personal information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law)
If you have any concerns about the processing of your personal information based on our legitimate interests, you have the right to object. For more information on your rights, please See below.
What are my rights?
You have the right to:
- Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request that we update the personal information we hold about you.
Depending on why we have and use your personal information you may also have the following rights:
- To be informed about what we are doing with your personal data.
- To object to the processing of your personal data.
- To ask that we delete your personal information. If you ask us to delete your personal information we will not be able to provide our services to you.
- To ask us to stop processing your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
- To limit our use of your personal information.
- To request an electronic copy of your personal information in a commonly used form e.g. CSV file (Data Portability).
- To understand and input into a decision made by solely automated means if it has a legal or similarly significant effect on you.
