Your Rights Under GDPR
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access (Article 15)
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, to access that data along with information about how it is being processed.
Right to Rectification (Article 16)
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected and incomplete personal data completed.
Right to Erasure (Article 17)
Also known as the "right to be forgotten", you may request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18)
You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability (Article 20)
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object (Article 21)
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making (Article 22)
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects. We do not currently engage in such automated decision-making.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further two months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will not charge a fee for fulfilling your request unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal data only when we have a valid legal basis. Our processing activities rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Where you have given explicit consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more specific purposes.
- Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
- Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)): Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights.
Data Transfers
We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. Should any such transfer become necessary, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR requirements.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing, including:
- Encryption of data in transit
- Regular security assessments
- Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel
- Staff training on data protection
Data Breach Procedures
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.
Complaints
If you believe that we have not complied with our data protection obligations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
