# Legal Basis for Sharing Data

> The legitimate interest framework under which brands share customer data with Mention Me.

Brands transmit customer data to Mention Me based on a **legitimate interest** framework. Your customers are not required to provide explicit consent for you to share their information with us to facilitate the operation of the referral programme. This approach streamlines the process while ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

Our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) outlines the specific types of data we receive from you through each tag integration and details the ways we use this data to manage and run your referral programme.
