    Our Legal Bases for Processing Your Data

    LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

    Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR is the one that is relevant here – it says that we can process your data where it “is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [us] or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of [you] which require protection of personal data.” However, you do have the right to object to us processing your personal data on this basis. We have our own obligations under the law, which it is a legitimate interest of ours to insist on meeting! If we believe in good faith that it is necessary, we may therefore share your data in connection with crime detection, tax collection or actual or anticipated litigation.

    CONSENT

    In certain circumstances, we are required to obtain your consent to the processing of your personal data in relation to certain activities. Depending on exactly what we are doing with your information, this consent will be opt-in consent or soft opt-in consent. Article 4(11) of the GDPR states that (opt-in) consent is “any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.” In plain language, this means that:

    1. you must give us your consent freely, without us putting you under any type of pressure;
    2. you must know what you are consenting to – so we’ll make sure we give you enough information;
    3. you should have control over which processing activities you consent to and which you don’t. We provide these finer controls within our privacy preference centre; and
    4. you need to take positive and affirmative action in giving us your consent – we’re likely to provide a tick box for you to check so that this requirement is met in a clear and unambiguous fashion.

    We will keep records of the consents that you have given in this way.

    We have already mentioned that, in some cases, we will be able to rely on soft opt-in consent. We can market products or services to you which are related to the recruitment services we provide if you do not actively opt-out from these communications. Please note that in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, we comply with additional local law requirements regarding consenting to receive marketing materials. As we have mentioned, you have the right to withdraw your consent to these activities. You can do so at any time by contacting us.

    ESTABLISHING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS

    Sometimes it may be necessary for us to process personal data and, where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, sensitive personal data in connection with exercising or defending legal claims. Article 9(2)(f) of the GDPR allows this where the processing “is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity”. This may arise for example where we need to take legal advice in relation to legal proceedings or are required by law to preserve or disclose certain information as part of the legal process.

    REPORTING BREACHES

    GYM MONKEE LTD. have an obligation to report actual or potential data protection compliance failures. This allows us to investigate the failure and take remedial steps (if necessary), maintain a register of compliance failures and notify the relevant supervisory authority of any compliance failures that are material either or, as part of any pattern of failures.

    GYM MONKEE LTD.  will update this privacy policy when necessary to reflect changes in its services or policies and the way it processes your personal information, and/or changes in legislation. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to learn how GYM MONKEE LTD.  is protecting your information.
