Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal information (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR for visitors from those regions), we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, performance of a contract with you, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate business interests in operating and improving our Services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
