Conclusion
Given that there is a lack of understanding among companies around the use and relevance of the legitimate interests basis, we consider that there should be clearer guidance to companies either issued from the ICO or the Government around when and how the legitimate interests basis can be used. We also consider that there should be a rigorous process to test whether companies are using legitimate interests appropriately. (Paragraph 43) Risk to privacy
