LiveCode Ltd collects and processes your Personal Data on the basis of different legal grounds, depending on the nature of the Personal Data being provided and the type of processing involved. More information is provided on this here.

1.1 Performance of a Contract

Most of the Personal Data processing by LiveCode is performed on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering such an agreement. For example, if you download or purchase software from us, we need your contact details to fulfill that contract.

1.2 Legitimate Interest

A second ground relied upon by LiveCode Ltd. for other types of processing of your Personal Data is that it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by LiveCode Ltd. Such legitimate interests will include where we send you marketing about our products and services, where we believe you have a reasonable expectation that we will perform a particular type of processing on your behalf, or where such processing is necessary for fraud detection and prevention.

1.3 Compliance with a Legal Obligation

A third ground relied upon for certain types of processing is that it is necessary in order to allow LiveCode Ltd comply with a legal obligation. An example of this would be where we are required to retain business records for fixed periods of time in order to comply with local legal requirements.

1.4 Consent

Finally, in certain limited situations, LiveCode Ltd may rely on your consent in order to process your Personal Data. Where we require your consent in order to collect and process certain Personal Data, we will seek your consent at the time of provision, and such processing will only be performed where consent is secured.
