For example, where you choose to tell us about a medical condition so that we can make reasonable adjustments for a business meeting. Or, in the course of processing information in the context of carrying out standard compliance or due diligence checks we may identify criminal offence data. Where we do process special category personal data or criminal offence data, we ensure that we have an appropriate legal basis to do so under UK data protection law and only retain the information for the minimum amount of time necessary before securely deleting it.
- Special Category Personal Data relates to information about racial or ethnic origin, trade union membership, health and medical conditions, genetics, biometric information (but only where this is used for identification purposes), political opinions, sex life, sexual orientation and religious beliefs.

You can find a list of the purposes where your information is processed under the legal basis of “legitimate interests” above in the table, “Our Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing your Personal Data: Business Contacts, Clients and Suppliers”
In some cases, the right to object is absolute; this means that Fidum must comply with your objection and stop using your personal information. For example, you have the absolute right to object to your personal data being processed for the purpose of direct marketing.

This means that you have the legal right to object and Fidum must stop using your personal data unless it can demonstrate that its legitimate interest is more compelling than the impact of the processing has on you. Fidum will generally have one calendar month in which to respond to your objection.
