In such cases, we rely on one or more of the following processing conditions: our legitimate interests in the effective delivery of information and services to you and in the effective and lawful operation of our businesses and the legitimate interests of our clients in receiving professional services from us as part of running their organisation (provided these do not interfere with your rights); our legitimate interests in developing and improving our businesses, services and offerings and in developing new Sowaidan technologies and offerings (provided these do not interfere with your rights); to satisfy any requirement of law, regulation or professional body of which we are a member (for example, for some of our services, we have a legal obligation to provide the service in a certain way); to perform our obligations under a contractual arrangement with you; or where no other processing condition is available, if you have agreed to us processing your personal information for the relevant purpose.
