Your Rights Under GDPR
The UK GDPR provides you with the following rights concerning your personal data:
Right to Be Informed
You have the right to be informed about how we collect and use your personal data. We provide this information through our Privacy Policy and this GDPR page.
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request. We will respond to such requests within one month of receipt.
Right to Rectification
If you believe that any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it. We will respond to such requests within one month.
Right to Erasure
Also known as the "right to be forgotten", you may request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose or when you withdraw consent.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to our processing.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
Rights Related to Automated Decision Making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights under GDPR, please contact us using the details provided above. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. In some cases, we may extend this period by up to two additional months if your request is complex or if we receive multiple requests from you.
There is no fee for exercising your rights in most circumstances. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
Data Protection Principles
We adhere to the following data protection principles:
- Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency: We process data lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner
- Purpose limitation: We collect data for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes
- Data minimisation: We collect only data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary
- Accuracy: We keep personal data accurate and up to date
- Storage limitation: We retain data only for as long as necessary
- Integrity and confidentiality: We process data securely using appropriate technical and organisational measures
- Accountability: We are responsible for and can demonstrate compliance with these principles
International Data Transfers
When we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. This may include adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other approved mechanisms.
Data Breaches
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 of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.
