A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information.

We may use your personal information to tell you about relevant products and offers. This is what we mean when we talk about ‘marketing’.
The personal information we have for you is made up of what you tell us, and data we collect when you use our services.
We study this to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services, and offers may be relevant for you.
We can only use your personal information to send you marketing messages if we have either your consent or a ‘legitimate interest’.
That is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. It must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you.

Whatever you choose, you’ll still receive statements and other important information such as updates or changes to our existing products and services.
