The Legal Basis for Processing

As the Data Controller, Metalyte Pipeworks has determined that, the legal basis for processing is based on ‘processing is necessary for the purposes of Legitimate interests pursued by the controller’.
It should be noted that in some circumstances this legal basis may vary, however, we always operate in full compliance with Data Protection Law and will only process data with a fair and reasonable legal basis for doing so.
