Your Rights Under GDPR

Data protection law provides you with the following rights:

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

If you believe personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request its correction.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten", you may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request that we limit how we use your personal data while we address concerns about accuracy or other issues.

Right to Data Portability

Where technically feasible, you may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests if your specific situation warrants it.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have rights concerning automated decision-making and profiling. We do not currently use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details above. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We aim to respond to all valid requests within one month, though complex requests may require an extension of up to two additional months.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We only process personal data when we have a valid lawful basis. The legal grounds we rely upon include:

• Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
• Contract: Where processing is necessary for a contract we have with you or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract
• Legal obligation: Where processing is necessary for us to comply with the law
• Legitimate interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless those interests are overridden by your rights

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

• Encryption of personal data where appropriate
• Regular security assessments of our systems
• Staff training on data protection principles
• Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel

International Transfers

We primarily process data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer personal data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in compliance with data protection law.

Complaints

If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal data, please contact us to resolve your concerns. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues:
