Your Rights Under GDPR

GDPR provides individuals with specific rights regarding their personal data. These include:

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to be informed about how we collect and use your personal data. This is provided through this GDPR statement and our Privacy Policy.

Right of Access

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 respond to your request within one month of receipt.

Right to Rectification

If you believe the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will respond to rectification requests within one month.

Right to Erasure

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

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we limit the processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

Where we process personal data based on consent or for contract performance, you have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to 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 rights concerning any decisions made about you solely through automated processing, including profiling, that have legal or similarly significant effects.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us using the details provided above. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond to most requests within one month, though this period may be extended by two additional months for complex requests, in which case we will inform you.

There is no fee for exercising your GDPR rights in most circumstances. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply if requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Lawful Bases for Processing

Under GDPR, we must have a lawful basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following bases:

Data Protection Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing personal data. These measures include:

Data Breach Procedures

We have procedures in place to detect, report, and investigate personal data breaches. Where a breach is likely to result in a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to affected individuals, we will also notify those individuals directly.

Supervisory Authority

If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal data or respond to your requests, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
