The processing of your information is necessary for entering into or performing a contract. In order to perform obligations which arise under any contract we have entered into with you, it will be necessary for us to process your information. Legal Obligation. The processing of your information is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. We are subject to certain legal requirements which may require us to process your information. We may also be obliged by law to disclose your information to a regulatory body or law enforcement agency. Legitimate Interests. The processing of your information is necessary under legitimate interests. Either we or a third party will need to process your information for the purposes of our (or a third party’s) legitimate interests, provided that those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms (including your right to have your information protected) and you have a reasonable expectation that your information will be processed. “Legitimate Interests” means the interests of our company (or a third party such as a brand) in conducting and managing a business. The main objective of our company is to facilitate collaborations between Influencers and brands. The personal information about influencers that we collect in connection with our Online Tools is information which is publicly available and, in many cases, has been published by the Influencer specifically for marketing and publicity purposes. We process this information for our legitimate interest in providing the Online Tools and related services to our brand clients in connection with their legitimate interest in marketing their products. We (and registered users to our Online Tools and our brand clients) use an Influencer’s publicly available information (which clearly indicates a desire on the part of that Influencer to be discovered by brands and followers) to facilitate a relationship between such Influencer and a brand. This benefits our client brands by introducing them to Influencers with whom they can collaborate with on marketing campaigns and the Influencers by helping them grow their careers through such relationships with our brand
