You can unsubscribe or manage your personal information at any time through any online communications we send. You will find ‘unsubscribe’ and ‘preferences’ links in our marketing messages or you can send an email to develop@considerthisuk.com and request to be removed from our database.
We will continue to process your information until you withdraw consent or it is determined your consent no longer exists.
Your personal data under the consent lawful basis is not shared with any third parties.

We use the contract lawful basis under GDPR for the processing of your information to provide you details about our services, supplying a quote or estimate. We also receive data from clients/3rd parties for which we are a data processor and adhere to storage and deletion rules in our DP policy.
We shall continue to process your information until the contract between us ends or is terminated under any contract terms. We shall continue to process your information as a legitimate interest until such time you request us to cease contact and delete your information.
Your personal data under the contract lawful basis is not shared with any third parties.

If, as determined by us, the lawful basis upon which we process your personal information changes, we will notify you about the change and any new lawful basis to be used if required. We shall stop processing your personal information if the lawful basis used is no longer relevant.

We retain Personal Information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a Service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

If this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

We will retain information we process on behalf of our Customers as a data processor for as long as needed to provide Services to our Customers (unless deletion is requested at an earlier time by the Customer) and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
