We help your organisation prepare a Legitimate Interests Assessment and document whether a particular use of personal data is necessary, fair and balanced.


When do we need a Legitimate Interests Assessment for UK Organisations.


A Legitimate Interests Assessment, often called an LIA, helps you document why your use of personal data is necessary, proportionate and balanced against the rights and freedoms of individuals.
