• Providing the service: Displaying trust digital systems data and ensuring the site functions correctly.
• Service improvement: Analysing usage data to understand how the service is used, identify issues, and make improvements.
• Aggregated insights: We may use aggregated, non-identifying data to produce general insights about trust digital systems. These insights are derived from collective usage patterns and do not identify individuals.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following legal bases (UK GDPR):

• Legitimate interests: Collecting usage data to improve the service and generate aggregated insights. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights, as the data is used to improve the product you are using and aggregated insights do not identify individuals.
