legitimate interests, where processing is necessary for the legitimate operation, improvement, and security of the website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights;
legal obligation, where processing is necessary to comply with the law.
ICO guidance says a privacy notice should explain the lawful bases relied on and individuals’ information rights.
This website may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how users arrive at the website. Google Sites supports Analytics by allowing a Google Analytics Property ID to be added to a site.

Where third-party service providers process personal data outside the United Kingdom, appropriate safeguards will be relied upon where required by applicable data protection law.
