4. How we handle information collected when you contact us about products or services.
GDPR requires all businesses to have a lawful basis to process personal data about a customer/prospective customer. The law sets out six different lawful bases to choose from. Business owners have to explain to you how and when we process your data and the legal basis for each occurance. Currently our processing fits into four of the six available bases.
‘Contractual’ basis – this is when processing you data is obvious and necessary, for example you submit an enquiry and ask us to get back to you or you contact us to hire our services. Please be assured, we will only use this data for the purposes of offering relevant services to you.‘ Legitimate Interests’ basis – we may contact you again after we have provided our
services. For example we might email you after a job to say thanks or in the future to remind you about our services. Of course we will always give the opportunity to request
we never contact you again (opt-out).
‘ Legal Obligation’ basis – some processing is necessary because we have to comply with the law. For example, when you make purchases. HMRC require us to keep records for at least 5 years.

‘Consent’ basis – if we are given photographs from a show we’ll always ensure prior consent is obtained to display them on our site.
