Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
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 (SAR). We will respond to valid requests within one month of receipt.
You have the right to request that we correct any personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete. We will make corrections promptly upon receiving valid requests.
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 the purpose it was collected, or when you withdraw consent.
You have the right to 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 our 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, machine-readable format.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you. We do not currently use automated decision-making processes.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. To help us process your request efficiently, please include:
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond within one month, though this period may be extended by up to two additional months for complex requests.
We process personal data under the following lawful bases:
We have implemented procedures to detect, investigate, and report personal data breaches. Where a breach is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours and affected individuals without undue delay.
We primarily process data within the United Kingdom. If any data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data or respond to your requests, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office:
