2. Use of your Personal Information
AlphaOmega generally collects only the personal information necessary to fulfill your request. Where additional, optional information is sought, you will be notified of this at the point of collection.
The law in Europe allows us to process personal information, so long as we have a ground under the law to do so. It also requires us to tell you what those grounds are. As a result, when we process your personal information, we will rely on one of the following processing conditions:
Performance of a contract: this is when the processing of your personal information is necessary in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, or to perform our obligations under a contract to which you are party;
Legal obligation: this is when we are required to process your personal information in order to comply with a legal obligation;
Legitimate interests: we will process information about you where it is in our legitimate interest in running a lawful business to do so in order to further that business, so long as it doesn’t outweigh your interests; or
Your consent: in some cases, we will ask you for specific permission to process some of your personal information, and we will only process your personal information in this way if you agree to us doing so.
Examples of the ‘legitimate interests’ referred to above are:
> To offer information and/or services to individuals who visit our website or offer information about employment opportunities.
> To prevent fraud or criminal activity and to safeguard our IT systems.
> To conduct and to analyze our marketing activities.
