Your Rights Under GDPR

Under data protection law, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you. If your personal information changes or you believe our records are incorrect, please contact us to update your details.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, when you withdraw consent, or when the data has been unlawfully processed.

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 when processing is unlawful but you do not want the data erased.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from us.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes or processing based on legitimate interests.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

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 use automated decision-making processes.

To exercise any of your rights, 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, though this period may be extended by two months for complex requests.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Specific retention periods depend on the type of data and the purpose of processing. We periodically review our data holdings and securely delete information that is no longer required.

We primarily store and process data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with data protection law.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures are regularly reviewed and updated as necessary.
