Importantly, from your perspective these contracts set out to define how data will be processed between us, including circumstances when we act as a processor or controller as is required by the UK GDPR.
When acting as a controller of your data, we will, in certain circumstances determine the purposes and means of processing your data; in particular, this will include the data processed by brokers who use the services of other companies in the Jensten Group.
