1. Legal Processing

Data protection law states there are several legal reasons why a company may collect and process personal data. ARP Ltd work on the following bases for certain situations:

Contract – We will process your personal data to fulfil an order, deliver a service, essentially comply with our contractual obligations. An example might be, if you place an order with us, we will collect your email address, company name and address as well as a delivery address, so that we are able to process your order and keep you informed of the progress of your order.

Legal Compliance – If the law or government requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data. An example might be passing on details of fraud to law enforcement.

Legitimate Interest – In cases, we require personal data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business. This does not impact your freedom or rights. Examples might be using postal or email details to send direct marketing information telling you about products and services that we think might interest you. We may also use your purchase history to send you or make available personalised offers.
