LEGITIMATE INTEREST ASSESSMENT
- Identifying a Legitimate Interest
What is the purpose for processing the Personal Data and why is it important to Dressing for Dinner as a Controller?
We receive communications from clients or potential clients requesting our professional assistance with planning their events. We need to capture and store their personal information in order to:
- process their request
- respond to it
- submit proposals
- assist with the execution of the events
- pass on contact details to relevant third parties, for example suppliers with whom our clients wish to enter into a contract for the provision of services we have organised on our clients’ behalf.
- follow up after the event
- plan future events
This information includes, where absolutely necessary:
- First and last name
- Job Title
- Business email address (or personal email address if enquiry is not from a corporate client)
- Business telephone number (or personal, as above)
- Company name, address, telephone number
- Necessity Test
Dressing for Dinner considers that this processing of data is business critical for the execution of our business and that there is no other reasonable method of processing the data.
- Carrying out a Balancing Test
We have evaluated how this data processing might impact on the rights and freedoms of individuals and we believe that there would be a reasonable expectation of each individual that the data supplied to us voluntarily would be stored and processed as part of our business processes. Furthermore, the type of data we will store as shown above is not considered “critical” and thus requiring additional protection under the terms of the legislation. The processing also adds value and convenience for both the company and its clients and is in the interests of the individual. We do not believe that there would be any negative impact on any individual.
