We will use your information for the purposes listed below either on the basis of:

Legitimate interests

Where we refer to using your information on the basis of our ‘legitimate interests’, we mean our legitimate business interests in conducting and managing our business and our relationship with you. Where we use your information for our legitimate interests, we make sure that we take into account any potential impact that such use may have on you. Our legitimate interests don’t automatically override yours and we won’t use your information if we believe your interests should override ours unless we have other grounds to do so (such as your consent or a legal obligation).

As part of the services offered to you (e.g. as a freelance practitioner or employee), the personal information you provide may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). If TFP transfers your personal information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy e.g. by ensuring their is a clause in our contract with such third party ensuring they adhere to our privacy terms.
