Other business related data may also be processed including business name, job title, contact telephone number, business address, banking details and other technical information (such as login credentials) for carrying out our Support and Accounting services under the terms of the contract.

What is our Lawful Basis for Processing?
As an organisation that processes business related data, Eurostop has assessed all six grounds for lawful processing of personal data under the GDPR 2018, and has selected ‘Legitimate Interests’ as the most suitable lawful ground for the processing of data for the purposes of Eurostop marketing, sales and providing its products and services.
Eurostop collects, processes and stores data relating to business contacts in the retail industry. We believe that the individuals that we process the data of, are likely to have an interest in Eurostop products and services, and associated subject matter related to the retail industry.
Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA)
Eurostop has carried out Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIAs), as advised by the ICO, both for holding personal data for marketing and sales, and the processing required in the course of providing its products and services. Based upon that assessment it is deemed that the rights and freedoms of the data subjects would not be overridden when processing this data for either purpose, and that in no way would a data subject be caused harm by our correspondence.
Based upon our processing of personal data within the context of a business environment, we believe that any individual that receives correspondence from Eurostop in a direct marketing or sales capacity could be legitimately interested in the Eurostop solution and associated marketing content. It is also deemed that direct marketing and sales is necessary in the context of promoting Eurostop to business professionals in order to increase awareness of our solution and services in the marketplace.
It is also in the legitimate interest of our customers for us to use their personal data to provide contracted support services.
As per the ICO guidance, Eurostop can confirm:
- We have checked that legitimate interests is the most appropriate basis
- We understand our responsibility to protect the individual’s interests
- We have conducted a legitimate interests assessment (LIA) and kept a record of it, to ensure that we can justify our decision
- We have identified the relevant legitimate interests
- We have checked that the processing is necessary and there is no less intrusive way to achieve the same result
- We have done a balancing test, and are confident that the individual’s interests do not override those legitimate interests
- We only use individuals’ data in ways they would reasonably expect
- We are not using people’s data in ways they would find intrusive or which could cause them harm
- We do not process the data of children
- We have considered safeguards to reduce the impact where possible
- We will always ensure there is an opt-out / ability to object
- Our LIA did not identify a significant privacy impact, and therefore we do not require a DPIA
- We keep our LIA under review every six months, and will repeat it if circumstances change
- We include information about our legitimate interests in our privacy notice
How long do we keep data for?
Eurostop is committed to ensuring that the data that we hold is up-to-date and accurate. Eurostop continually cleanse the data held within our CRM system, completing a full cleanse cycle at least once every 12 months.
The data held for providing support and ancillary services is maintained as up to date and accurate during the continued process of providing this said support service.
We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or erase from our systems all data which is no longer required. We will keep your personal data for the duration of the account being active and for 5 years after our contract with you has terminated.
How do we store data, is it secure?
The data is processed and stored in the EU within a secure environment.

How can you object to processing of your data?
Request to Object
In all correspondence with you we will give you the right to object from receiving further marketing correspondence from Eurostop. On any emails you receive from Eurostop there will be the option to ‘unsubscribe’ from receiving any further email marketing correspondence of that nature. If you receive a telephone call from us, you have the right to request not to receive any further marketing calls. Your request to object will be logged within our system to ensure that you do not receive any further marketing calls.
Should you wish to object to receiving marketing communication from Eurostop, you can do so in a variety of ways:
- Please click the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of every email to stop receiving such marketing emails.
- If you have received a call, please tell the representative that you do not wish to receive any further marketing calls.
- Please call 0208 991 2700 and ask to speak with the GDPR Data Protection Team
You can also make your request by emailing:
Or by writing to:

All requests will be processed within one calendar month. Your details will be updated to ensure that your details cannot be processed by the Eurostop CRM system in the future. Please note this applies only to the processing of your personally identifiable data, not that of the business data which does not fall under the remit of GDPR.
Request for Erasure
It is important to understand the difference between a right to object and a request for deletion. If you make a request for deletion, we will remove any data we hold about you from the Eurostop CRM system. This will also mean that we will remove your details from the ‘objection to processing list’. If you are removed from this list, there is a risk that your data may be processed again in the future if your details are re-added to our CRM system by a member of our team who genuinely believes that your business would benefit from our software and services. If you do not wish for us to contact you again we would recommend you request to object rather than a request for deletion, as this will ensure that your details are always suppressed from processing.
The option however is yours, and in either case we will process your request within one calendar month.
You can request your information be erased by emailing:
