Your Rights Under GDPR
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
- The right to be informed: You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. This GDPR notice serves to inform you of how we collect, use, and store your data.
- The right of access: You have the right to request a copy of your personal data that we hold. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of your request.
- The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any personal data that you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
- The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
- The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organisation, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
- The right to object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including for direct marketing purposes.
- Rights related to automated decision making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on the following lawful bases:
- Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
- Contract: Where the processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.
- Legitimate Interests: Where the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.
Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
International Transfers
We do not transfer your personal data outside of the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area.
How to Exercise Your Rights
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details provided. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of the other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Complaints
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
