Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
You have the right to be informed about how we collect and use your personal data. This information is provided through our Privacy Policy and this GDPR information page.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you, or complete any incomplete data.
Also known as the 'right to be forgotten', you can request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including:
You can request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to its processing.
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.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently engage in automated decision-making that falls within this category.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details above. When making a request, please provide:
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond to valid requests within one month, though this period may be extended by two further months for complex requests.
We process personal data under the following lawful bases as defined by UK GDPR Article 6:
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing personal data. These measures are designed to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses 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 you, we will also notify you directly.
If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:
Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
