Legitimate Interests

What is meant by Legitimate Interest?

The following information is set out to explain what Datel Advansys Ltd means by legitimate interest when processing personal data.

“Legitimate Interests” means the interests of our company in conducting and managing our business.

For example, we have an interest in staying competitive and grow our customer base so we may process your information to send you marketing that we believe are relevant and could be of interest to you.

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 business interests do not automatically override your interests - we will not use your personal data 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).

How we process your data for our legitimate interests

The information below sets out further detail on the ways we process your data for our legitimate interests. If you have any concerns about the processing below, you have the right to object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests. For more information on your rights, see the section of our Privacy Notice titled 'Can I find out the personal data that the organisation holds about me?'.

IP address lookup

Our company uses third parties to provide information about visitors to our websites. When you visit our websites, we will record your IP address. This address will be matched against public and proprietary IP address databases to provide us with information about your visit. This information may identify the organisation to whom the IP address is registered but not individuals. In some limited cases i.e. single person companies, it may be possible to identify personal data from publicly available ICANN data.

Website cookies and link tracking

This will allow us to identify and record what is most relevant to you.
