Where we enter into a business relationship with you, we rely on the legal basis of performance of a contract with you for processing your Personal Information on the basis of that contractual relationship and to complete a transaction with you.

Where we process your Personal Information for the purposes of sending you marketing communications (such as buy alert emails, information on upcoming sales events, special announcements, etc.), we will rely upon the legal basis of legitimate interests and/or consent (if required and obtained) for processing your Personal Information for those purposes.
