For a data processing activity to take place lawfully, it needs to be legitimate and thus to be based on one of the grounds set out in article 6 of the GDPR, inter alia:
- You have given your consent to the processing of your Personal Data for one or more specific purposes;
- processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;
- processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data, in particular where you are a child.
For the avoidance of doubt, where you give your consent, such consent shall be construed distinctly from any consent given in the context of confidentiality and/or professional secrecy compliance obligations.
Nevertheless, where we have collected the Personal Data based on consent, no further processing is allowed beyond what is covered by the original consent or the provisions of the law. Where our purposes change over time or where we want to use Personal Data for new purposes, we will inform you of such new processing in accordance with the Data Protection Laws.

The Recipients may, under their own responsibility, disclose the Personal Data to their agents and/or delegates (the “Sub-Recipients”), which shall process the Personal Data for the sole purposes of assisting the Recipients in providing their services to Liontrust and/or assisting the Recipients in fulfilling their own legal obligations.
The Recipients and Sub-Recipients may, as the case may be, process the Personal Data as processors (when processing the Personal Data on behalf and upon instructions of Liontrust and/or the Recipients), or as distinct controllers (when processing the Personal Data for their own purposes, namely fulfilling their own legal obligations).

In any case, where the Recipients are located in a country outside the EEA which benefits from an adequacy decision of the European Commission, the Personal Data will be transferred to the Recipients upon such adequacy decision.
Where the Recipients are located outside the EEA in a country which does not ensure an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, we will enter, prior to such transfer, into legally binding transfer agreements with the relevant Recipients in the form of the European Commission approved standard contractual clauses or any other appropriate safeguards pursuant to the GDPR, as well as, if necessary, supplementary measures.
We currently transfer data to the following countries outside of the EEA:
