In connection with Services provided to individuals in the EEA, we rely on one of the following legal grounds (as appropriate) to process personal information:

  1. To enter and perform a contract with you or to perform any steps you require from us before entering into a contract.
  2. To pursue our legitimate interests in establishing, managing or concluding our relationship with you.
  3. Where you have specifically consented to us processing your personal information.
  4. To comply with our legal obligations and establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
