7.6 Contractual relationships
Most of our interactions with subscribers and website users are voluntary and not contractual. However, sometimes it will be necessary to process personal information so that we can enter contractual relationships with people. For example, if you apply for employment or to volunteer with us.
7.7 Legal obligations
Sometimes we will be obliged to process your personal information due to legal obligations which are binding on us. We will only ever do so when strictly necessary.
7.8 Legitimate interests
Applicable law allows personal information to be collected and used if it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate activities (as long as its use is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact individuals’ rights).
7.9 We will rely on this ground for processing the data of all applicants and attendees of our programs, managing our fundraising activities and promoting our programs to relevant organisations, where their information is publicly accessible.  We will also rely on this ground for processing where we are administering our employment relationship with you including making arrangements for the end of our working relationship with you, and reflecting on our practices and experiences.
7.10 Where we have relied upon your consent as the ground for lawful processing, you are entitled to withdraw your consent at any time, and such withdrawal of consent will not undermine the lawfulness of processing based upon consent prior to the withdrawal.
