Public Task

There a 6 legal bases, or valid reasons, for an organisation to process your data. Empowering Enterprise relies on the legal basis of Public Task for all activities on Empowering Enterprise, except for case studies for which we need your consent. Public Task means that the processing is necessary for performing a task that is in the public interest or official function and has a clear basis in law.

Consent

Consent is another legal basis we will rely on, but this will only be if you agree to provide some information about your time on Empowering Enterprise so we can share your successes and show others the benefits of the project. To gain your consent for this, there is detailed paperwork for you to go through with your mentor.
