How I collect or obtain information about you from third parties

Generally, I do not receive information about you from third parties. The third parties from which I receive information about you will generally include other businesses and clients I work with from time to time who may recommend my services to you. These could be businesses in any industry, sector, sub-sector or location.

It is also possible that third parties with whom I have had no prior contact may provide me with information about you.

Information I obtain from third parties will generally be your name and contact details, but will include any additional information about you which they provide to me.

Legal basis for processing: necessary to perform a contract or to take steps at your request to enter into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
Reason why necessary to perform a contract: where a third party has passed on information about you to me (such as your name and email address) in order for me to provide services to you, I will process your information in order to take steps at your request to enter into a contract with you and perform a contract with you (as the case may be).
Legal basis for processing: consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
Consent: where you have asked that a third party to share information about you with me and the purpose of sharing that information is not related to the performance of a contract or services by me to you, I will process your information on the basis of your consent, which you give by asking the third party in question to pass your information on to me.
Legal basis for processing: my legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
Legitimate interests: where a third party has shared information about you with me and you have not consented to the sharing of that information, I will have a legitimate interest in processing that information in certain circumstances.

For example, I would have a legitimate interest in processing your information to perform my obligations under a sub-contract with the third party, where the third party has the main contract with you. My legitimate interest is the performance of my obligations under our sub-contract.

Similarly, third parties may pass on information about you to me if you have infringed or potentially infringed any of my legal rights. In this case, I will have a legitimate interest in processing that information to investigate and pursue any such potential infringement.

Where I receive information about you in error: If I receive information about you from a third party in error and/or I do not have a legal basis for processing that information, I will delete your information.

In certain circumstances (for example, to verify the information I hold about you or obtain missing information I require to provide you with a service) I will obtain information about you from certain publicly accessible sources, both EU and non-EU, such as Companies House, online customer databases, business directories, media publications, social media, and websites (including your own website if you have one). I may do this, for example, if I have insufficient information to be able to contact you or to better understand your business.

Legal basis for processing: necessary to perform a contract or to take steps at your request to enter into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
Reason why necessary to perform a contract: where you have entered into a contract or requested that I enter into a contract with you, in certain circumstances, I will obtain information about you from public sources in order to enable me to understand your business and provide services to you to a sufficient standard.

For example, I would obtain and/or verify your email address from your website or from a directory where you ask me to send you information by email but I do not possess the information or I need to confirm that I have recorded your email address correctly.
Legal basis for processing: my legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
Legitimate interests: in certain circumstances, I will have a legitimate interest in obtaining information about you from public and private sources. For example, if you have infringed or I suspect that you have infringed any of my legal rights, I will have a legitimate interest in obtaining and processing information about you from such sources in order to investigate and pursue any suspected or potential infringement.

Disclosure and additional uses of your information

Indicating possible criminal acts or threats to public security to a competent authority

If I suspect that criminal or potential criminal conduct has been occurred, I will in certain circumstances need to contact an appropriate authority, such as the police. This could be the case, for instance, if I suspect that a fraud or a cyber crime has been committed or if I receive threats or malicious communications towards me or third parties.
