Your Rights Under GDPR

The UK GDPR provides you with the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to know how your personal data is being collected and used. This information is provided in our Privacy Policy and this GDPR page.

Right of Access

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).

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten", you can request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we limit the way we use your personal data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

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

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us using the details above. We will respond to your request within one month of receiving it. In complex cases, we may extend this period by a further two months, and we will inform you if this is necessary.

There is no fee for making a request in most cases. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We process personal data under the following lawful bases as defined by Article 6 of the UK GDPR:

• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as receiving marketing communications.
• Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
• Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
• Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)): Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights.

Data Security Measures

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

• Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS
• Access controls limiting who can view personal data
• Regular security assessments
• Staff training on data protection
• Incident response procedures

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible.

If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

International Data Transfers

If we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements. This may include:

• Transfers to countries with an adequacy decision
• Standard contractual clauses approved by the ICO
• Binding corporate rules
