5. The lawful basis in which we process your data
Legitimate interests.
Under the applicable data protection laws (GDPR) we need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal data. The law allows for six lawful bases to process people’s personal data, and one of them allows personal data to be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate interest, as long as it is fair and balanced and does not unduly impact the rights of individuals.
We have assessed our business interests in carrying out marketing activities and we have carefully considered the impact the collection use of personal data could potentially have on individuals’ rights. Our databases contain primarily business data which is used to help people in the UK and promote UK businesses and such activities are unlikely to affect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals concerned. We have therefore concluded that the most appropriate lawful ground for the processing of your personal data is our legitimate interests.
In the event you request any services and or goods from us, we will rely on our contractual relationship to process your personal data to provide such services and or goods to you. In certain circumstances we may also rely on a specific consent provided by you for the processing of your personal data.
You have the right to object to this processing if you wish and if you do so we will remove your data from all our systems and cease communication with you. If you wish this to happen email: hello@beforeyougo.love

We collect personal information from using the following methods:
When you directly give it to us (“Directly Provided Data”), such as when you contact us; register an account with us; interact with our Website or other online methods of advertising; via our Website, online chat, via our telephone service; choose to provide feedback; take part in any of our other marketing and promotional initiatives; when you buy anything from us.
