Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Right to Be Informed
You have the right to be informed about how we collect and use your personal data. This is provided through our privacy policy and at the point of data collection.
Right of Access
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond to such requests within one month. There is no fee for the first request, though we may charge a reasonable fee for subsequent requests or manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
Right to Rectification
If personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. We will respond to rectification requests within one month.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose, when you withdraw consent, or when you object to processing. This right is not absolute and may be limited by legal obligations or legitimate interests.
Right to Restrict Processing
You can request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify its accuracy or consider your objection to processing.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract performance and carried out by automated means, you can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to Object
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
We do not currently engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects individuals.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.
International Transfers
We primarily process data within the United Kingdom. Where data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.
