What data are we collecting?

We need to collect the following information:

In collecting this data we are relying upon the lawful basis that processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the exercise of an official function vested in ORR.

SMBP Software Solutions Private Ltd is based outside the EEA in India. SMBP Software Solutions Private Ltd has signed up to Standard Contractual Clauses (the “Model Clauses”) approved by the European Commission (known as the Model Clauses) which provide safeguards for personal information that is transferred outside of Europe.
