Privacy Policy
EU/UK Legal Bases for Processing
What are legal bases for processing a user’s personal information?
When it is necessary to process a user's personal information you must have a reason, known as a legal basis. Legal bases can vary under different privacy laws.
Under the EU and UK's GDPR, you need a valid reason to use personal information — this is called a "lawful basis." There are six lawful bases for processing under the GDPR: Consent, Performance of a Contract, Legitimate Interests, Legal Obligation, Vital Interests, or Public Tasks.
In addition to needing lawful basis, you must also notify your users about why you use their personal information (Article 13).
On the following pages, you will be asked to select the reasons why you process personal information in the context of these legal bases.
Will my privacy policy list legal bases under the GDPR?
By default, your privacy policy will list five of the most common legal bases that apply to most companies: 1) Consent (2) Performance of a Contract (3) Legitimate Interests (4) Legal Obligation (5) Vital Interests. We will not list the sixth legal basis, "Public Tasks," as it will not apply to the majority of Termly customers. Please reach out to Termly customer service if you would like to add it to your privacy policy.
