• if the company is relying on its legitimate interests as the lawful condition for processing, what those legitimate interests are;
• the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data;
• any transfer of the data outside the UK and the basis for such transfer;
• the period for which data will be stored, or the criteria used to determine how long data will be retained;
• the individual's rights to subject access, rectification or erasure of personal data, and the right to restrict processing or object to processing;
• the existence of any automated decision-making and meaningful information about the logic involved and the consequences of any such processing for the individual; and
• where data is obtained from a third party, the source of the data, including if it came from publicly accessible sources.
