What are Wastebuster’s legal grounds for handling your personal information
Data protection law sets out a number of conditions which organisations can rely on in order to lawfully handle personal information. The conditions we rely on are as follows:
Legitimate interests
The law permits Wastebuster to handle your personal information where necessary under your own, and our legitimate interests provided that our interests do not outweighed your interests. Many of the purposes where we handle your personal information, described above, fall into this category as they are essential activities which enable us to deliver a quality environmental education programme efficiently and effectively for example, reviewing and improving the services we provide to you, your experience when you visit our website and to help ensure that we communicate with you about our resources and in ways that are most likely to be of interest to you and have broader societal benefits. We may, if necessary, also use your information to defend legal rights or to obtain legal advice and to manage any complaint that you might have. We ensure that your rights and interests are protected when we do this.
Contract
If your state-funded school has been given Wastebuster membership by your local authority or district/borough and the law permits Wastebuster to handle your personal information where necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.
Consent
Wastebuster is permitted to use your personal data when you consent for us to do so (e.g. for direct marketing purposes) and to share your personal data with carefully selected partners to send you relevant information.
Where we rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal information, you can withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Performance of a contract
Your Wastebuster membership may be for a specified amount of time. In these situations, Wastebuster will endeavour to advise you prior to your membership ending of the expiry date so that you can consider re-registering should you so desire.

Some of the third parties where personal information is stored are located outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) and therefore could be in a country which may not have data protection laws as stringent as those in the EU. Wastebuster will only transfer your personal information where appropriate safeguards are in place.
How long Wastebuster will keep your personal information
