WHAT IS OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Where you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we need to have a lawful basis for processing your Personal Data. We have set out below the lawful basis we rely on when processing your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy:

necessary for entry into, or performance of, a contract with you; This applies to the processing purposes described at A and D;
necessary for the legitimate interest of Apo, where these are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.; This applies to the processing purposes described at B, C, E (save where consent is required by law), F and G;
necessary in order to comply with our legal obligations under certain laws; and
in limited circumstances, including where consent is required for marketing and to the extent the legal bases for processing do not apply, processed with your consent (which we obtain from you from time to time).

Where you are in the EEA, the ‘legitimate interests’ referred to above are:

the processing purposes described in the relevant parts of this Privacy Policy, to the extent the processing is necessary in order to (i) comply with our legal obligations under certain laws or (ii) to enter into any contract with you and fulfil our obligations thereunder;
meeting and complying with our accountability requirements and regulatory obligations globally; and
exercising our fundamental rights and freedoms, including our freedom to conduct a business.

Where required by applicable data protection laws to do so, we will not collect, process or disclose your Personal Data without your consent.
