Legitimate Interest Assessment

We have a specific purpose with a defined benefit.

To provide access to online learning and resources, allow resources to be shared and facilitate communication between site users.

The processing is necessary to achieve the defined benefit.

Technical and Usage Data needs to be collected to provide this service. Details of access to the site are stored for security, for troubleshooting and to improve the site.

The purpose is balanced against, and DOES override, the interests, rights and freedoms of data subjects.

 

Since the processing of data is kept to a minimum and is for the purpose of a) providing the data subjects with online learning and resources that they wish to use, and b) reporting of evaluative data to fulfil funding requirements, the purpose, and our Legitimate Interest DOES override, the interests, rights and freedoms of data subjects.

For a copy of the full Legitimate Interest Assessment please contact the person named in section 7.
