7. Conditions to Communicate
Communications may be made at various times by the company to individuals by Email, Mail, Phone or Text.
If an individual requests not to be contacted, then the data will be updated to show this and that individual will be excluded from any communication except from ones required for legal, business or contractual reasons.
Communications are made under GDPR Article 6, Part 1, Condition: B (If entering into a contract with someone and you need to use their data in order to fulfil that contract), or Condition: F (processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of the company, so long as such interests are not overridden by the interests or rights and freedoms of the individual). When Condition: F is used, the comparison of the company interests versus those of the individuals is referred to as the “Balancing test”. This test is documented by the Data Controller to show that the test was carried out. Because these conditions are adhered to, specific consent from individuals is not required.
