Why we process your data
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful basis we rely on for processing this information is: legitimate interest. We have chosen this basis because:
- Processing your data is the only way to provide the service.
- The private data (e.g. IP addresses) we process is necessary to help prevent abuse of the service.
We only use your data for the purpose of providing the service.
Log files
Each request to laboro.uk is logged, including the IP address used to make the request. Log files are automatically overwritten at least once every 30 days.
