6. Our lawful basis for processing
UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis to process your personal data. The lawful basis that we rely on varies depending on the specific data we are processing and how we collected it, as follows:

•  When you subscribe to our newsletter via the form on our website, we are processing your data on the basis of consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time.
• When you use any of the other forms on our website to contact us, we are processing your data on the basis of legitimate interest. Since you have expressed interest in our products or services, it is legitimate for us to use the personal data you provided to contact you with further information.
• With respect to any technical data we collect from you during your use of the website, or analytical data regarding the way in which you use the website, we are processing your data on the basis of legitimate interest. We want to provide you with the best experience possible while navigating the website, so it is legitimate for us to use this technical and analytical data for this purpose.
• With respect to business contact details that we obtain from third party marketing data providers, we are processing your data on the basis of legitimate interest. We want to bring relevant offers to the market, targeted to a qualified list of individuals who are most likely to be interested, so it is legitimate for us to use the personal data in this manner.

7. Processing special categories of data
UK data protection law identifies special categories of data that are considered especially sensitive and so can only be processed under certain conditions.

None of the personal data that we process through this website falls into these special categories.

In addition to the above, we may share your personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:

We will process and retain your personal data for as long as it is required for the purpose for which it was originally collected.

The exception to this is if, as a result of you making a request as described in section 11 below, we are required by law to stop processing or storing your personal data.

10. International transfer of your personal data
It is possible that we may transfer your personal data to a country that is outside of the UK and EEA. When we do this, we will ensure that measures are in place as required by UK data protection law and the EU GDPR so that all of your privacy rights are guaranteed.

11. Your rights as a data subject
At any point while we are holding or processing your personal data, you have the following rights:

• Right of access
  You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you.

  You have the right to correct data that we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Right to be forgotten
  In certain circumstances you can ask for the data we hold about you to be erased from our records.
• Right to restriction of processing
  Where certain conditions apply, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data (as an alternative to erasure). This means we would be allowed to store the data, but not use it.
• Right of portability
  You have the right to have the data we hold about you transferred to another organisation.
• Right to object
  You have the right to object to certain types of processing. This includes an absolute right to prevent your personal data being used for direct marketing.

  You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, if this produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

You can exercise any of the above rights by submitting your request via the online form at https://www.zestbenefits.com/dsar.

When we are not the data controller of the personal data in question, we will forward your request to the appropriate third party and notify you that we have done so.

In cases where we have shared your data with a third party (as explained in section 8 above) we may also share your request with that third party so that they can assist us in fulfilling it.

UK data protection law also gives you the following additional rights:

• Right to complain
  You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or with our Data Protection Officer, as described in section 4.11 below.
• Right to judicial review
  You have the right to take legal action against a controller or processor where you consider that any of your rights have been infringed as a result of your personal data being processed in a way that does not comply with UK data protection law. You also have the right to take legal action against the supervisory authority if they do not handle your complaint in an appropriate or timely manner.

12. Complaints
In the event that you wish to make a complaint about how your personal data is being processed by Zest (or third parties as described in section 8 above), or about how a previous complaint has been handled, you have the right to lodge a complaint directly with Zest’s Data Protection Officer and with the supervisory authority.
