5. Our lawful bases for processing
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using your personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:
Contract
Where processing is necessary to provide services you have requested or to take steps before entering into a contract with you.
For example, when you enquire about a programme, book a workshop or become a client.
Legitimate interests
Where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of HASU or a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
This may include:

responding to business enquiries;
-
managing client relationships;
-
improving our services;
-
maintaining appropriate business records;
-
protecting our business and website;
-
communicating with existing clients about relevant services.
Consent
Where you have actively given us permission to use your information for a particular purpose.
For example, where you choose to receive certain marketing communications or agree to the use of non-essential cookies.
You may withdraw your consent at any time.
Legal obligation
Where we are required to process information to comply with the law, for example accounting, tax or regulatory requirements.
6. Special category information
Some performance or wellbeing-related conversations, assessments or programmes may involve information concerning your physical or mental wellbeing.
Health information is classed as special category personal data under UK data protection law and receives additional protection.
Where we need to process special category information, we will only do so where there is an appropriate legal basis and additional condition under UK data protection law.
Where appropriate, we may ask for your explicit consent before collecting or using this information.
You are not required to provide more personal or health information than is necessary for the service you are receiving.
HASU does not provide medical diagnosis, medical treatment or emergency healthcare services.
7. Assessments and profiling
HASU may use questionnaires, assessments or performance profiles as part of its services.
These may be used to help identify patterns relating to areas such as performance, attention, pressure, recovery, leadership or personal development.
These tools are intended to support discussion, reflection and development.
We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you without meaningful human involvement.
8. Marketing communications
We may occasionally send you information about HASU programmes, services, events or resources where:
-
you have asked to receive them;
-
you have given us consent; or
-
we are otherwise permitted to contact you under applicable UK electronic marketing rules.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us directly.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from contacting you where necessary in connection with an existing booking, programme, contract or service.

13. International transfers
Some of the technology providers we use may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.
These may include:

UK adequacy regulations;

another legally recognised transfer mechanism.
14. How long we keep your information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:
-
unauthorised access;
-
accidental loss;
-
misuse;
-
disclosure;
-
alteration; and

destruction.
These measures may include secure systems, restricted access, password protection, encryption and appropriate security procedures.
No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the personal information entrusted to us.
