Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases we rely upon include:

Your Rights Under GDPR

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

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

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose or when you withdraw consent.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.

Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, 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 processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently use automated decision-making in our business processes.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month, though this may be extended by two further months for complex requests.

Data Protection Impact Assessments

We conduct data protection impact assessments when implementing new processes or technologies that may pose a high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms.

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 high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay.

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 to protect your data.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
