  6. Legal Basis for Processing Your Information
    1. Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (UK GDPR), our legal basis for processing the personal information
      described above will depend on the personal information concerned, and the specific context in which we collect it.
    2. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we have your consent to do so, (ii) where
      we need the personal information to perform a contract with you/on your behalf via a third-party purchaser or (iii)
      where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights.
  7. Disclosure of Your Information
    1. We may disclose your personal information to third parties when permitted by law including:
      1. where there is a legal basis of consent;
      2. if we are under a duty to disclose or share your information in order to comply with any legal obligation;
      3. to Goldvision (our customer relationship management provider, which allows us, for example, to send personalised email
        communications to you);
  8. Data Retention
    1. In line with the fifth data protection principle, when we have no ongoing legitimate need to process your personal
      information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal
      information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it
      from any further processing until deletion is possible.
  9. Your Rights
    1. You have the following data protection rights:
      1. You can edit your personal details via your profile page whenever you wish. We maintain a procedure to help you confirm
        that your personal information remains correct and up-to-date or choose whether or not you wish to receive material from
        us or some of our partners.
      2. In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your
        personal information or request portability of your personal information. Again, you can exercise these rights by
        contacting us using the contact details provided under the ‘Contacting GatewayC’ heading below.
      3. You may unsubscribe from certain email communications by following the Unsubscribe link in the email communication
        itself. You may also update your personal information by logging into GatewayC and visiting your account page. You may
        also email us at the-christie.gatewayc@nhs.net         to access, correct, delete or update your personal information on our systems. We will answer your email as promptly as
        possible.
      4. Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information on the basis of your consent, then you can
        withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we
        conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on
        lawful processing grounds other than consent.
      5. You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information.
        For more information, please contact your ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office)         here

        these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies. Please check these policies before you
        submit any personal information to these websites.
      7. You may obtain a copy of your personal data that we have collected, this will be returned in a commonly used electronic
        form. If you wish to access your personal data, you will need to make a request to the address found under the
