What Are Your Rights?

We endeavour to process all personal information in line with your rights under GDPR.

You have the right to:

1. Request access to your personal information, as well as other supplementary information. There is usually no fee for making such a request however, in limited circumstances, we can charge an administrative fee (which will be based on the administrative cost of providing the information)

2.  Have inaccurate or incomplete personal data rectified.

3. Have your personal data erased. This is commonly referred to as the ‘right to be forgotten’. This right is only applicable where there is no compelling reason for the continued processing of your personal information. There are some circumstances where this right to erasure does not apply and in such cases, we would notify you of the reason(s) why we need to retain your personal information (unless prevented to do so by law)

4. Object to the processing of your personal data at any time. You may withdraw your consent by contacting us. In certain circumstances, we can process your personal information without your consent in line with the lawful processing requirements of GDPR. These include (amongst other reasons) where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

5. Restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This means that you can limit the way that an organisation uses your data. This is an alternative to requesting the erasure of your data. In such cases, we would retain the data but we would not process it further without your consent, or if processing your information is for establishing, exercising or defending a legal claim, or for the protection of rights of other individuals, or for public interest reasons. In such circumstances, we would let you know that we intend to lift the restriction on processing your personal information.

6. Ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes (including profiling). We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any 3rd party for such purposes. You can exercise this right at any time by contacting us.

 

Please be aware that we will need to verify your identity before providing any personal information to you. We do this to protect your information. We may also ask you to provide us some additional voluntary information to help us process your request more efficiently.
