We do not store personal identification information for any longer than necessary.

In this document, we will explain how we collect, use and protect your personal identification information. We will also explain what rights you have with regards to your personal identification information and how you can exercise those rights.

4. Lawful basis for processing of personal identification information

The table below describes the various forms of personal identification information RBS collects and the basis for processing your identification information. We have processes in place to make sure that only those people in our organization who need to access your identification information can do so. Certain pieces of identification information, such as email addresses, are collected for multiple purposes. These are outlined in the below table.

Like nearly every modern business, RBS contracts with certain third party organizations in order to operate our business. These third party organizations provide RBS with services such as software development, customer relationship management software and email delivery. Some of your personal identification information may be processed by these organizations, but only under the direction and control of RBS. If you contract for certain services from RBS, your personal identification information may be shared with additional third parties in order to fulfill our agreement. Where this happens, it is also identified below.

When we process your personal identification information on the basis of legitimate interest, we apply the following test to determine whether processing is appropriate:

The purpose test â is there a legitimate interest behind the processing?
Necessity test â is the processing necessary for that purpose?
Balancing test â is the legitimate interest overridden, or not, by your interests, rights or freedoms?
