The lawful basis we are relying on to process your personal data is article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data when this is necessary for the performance of our public tasks in our capacity as a regulator.

If we do need to contact you in relation to your consultation response the lawful basis we are relying on to process your personal data is article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data where this is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Commission or by a third party.
