Legal Bases for Data Processing – What Does it Mean and How do We Use Them?

The law on data protection sets out several different reasons why a company may collect and process your personal data and it is one of our duties to make sure you understand which of these lawful bases we are using to process your data.

Consent

In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent. For example, when you submit your information to receive our newsletter.

Contractual obligations

In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.

For example, when you are successful in an application to a course, academic assessment on the course or using our careers management service.

Legal compliance

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.

For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting us to law enforcement.

Legitimate interest

In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

For example, when you apply for one of our courses, either directly to us or via École Supérieure de Relooking , we will assess the information given to select future students.

Do we share your informations with anyone else?

We may share your personal information:

With our parent company, École Supérieure de Relooking

This might include: payments, website function, academic evaluation etc, and we may share your personal data with these providers to perform the necessary tasks. However, they are obliged not to disclose or use it for any other purposes. Any third-party processing of your data on our behalf will be subject to security and confidentiality obligations consistent with this privacy notice and applicable law.

Law enforcement organisations

Under certain circumstances we may occasionally be required by law, court order or governmental authority to disclose certain types of personal information and we reserve the right to comply with any such legally binding request.

Once ESR LONDON receives the transmission, ESR LONDON makes best efforts to ensure the security on the system.

Cross-border transfer and security

We make sure that we have appropriate security measures to protect your information and make sure that, when we ask another organisation to provide a service for us, they have appropriate security measures and follow the same high standards of security and data protection as we do.
