Depending on the circumstances, these bases may include:
Legitimate interests: for example, responding to relevant corporate enquiries, managing our website, maintaining security and improving website performance, where our interests do not override your rights and interests.
Consent: where you have given consent for a specific activity and consent is the appropriate legal basis, including where required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
Legal obligation: where we need to process information to comply with the law.
Contract or steps before entering into a contract: where processing is necessary in connection with a contract or requested pre-contractual steps, where applicable.

We may also disclose personal information where required by law, to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We only share personal information where there is an appropriate and lawful reason to do so.
7. Recruitment information

Where necessary for recruitment, the HR team may share your CV and relevant application information with the brands and departments that are hiring, so they can assess your suitability for a role and participate in the recruitment process.
Recruitment information may include your contact details, CV, employment history, qualifications and other information you provide in connection with your application.
We use this information for recruitment-related purposes and retain it only for as long as necessary, taking account of the purpose for which it was collected and any applicable legal requirements.
8. Website analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics and Spectre's built-in analytics to help us understand website activity and performance.
These tools may collect information about how visitors interact with the website, such as pages visited, technical information about the device or browser, and usage data.
We use this information to assess how our corporate website is performing and identify opportunities to improve it.
Our analytics tools are configured to respect the website's cookie consent requirements. Non-essential analytics technologies are used only where the required consent has been obtained.
For further information about cookies, consent and how to manage cookies through your browser, please see our separate Cookie Policy.
9. How long do we keep your information?
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking into account our business needs and any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
The appropriate retention period depends on the type of information, why it was collected and whether we need it to respond to an enquiry, manage recruitment or meet legal obligations.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete it securely or anonymise it.
10. How we protect your information
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Access to personal information is restricted to those who need it for legitimate business purposes, subject to appropriate safeguards.
Although we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

When you visit another website, that organisation may collect and process your personal information under its own privacy notice and terms.
