Your Rights Under UK GDPR

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

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to know how your personal data is being used. Our Privacy Policy and this page provide this information transparently.

Right of Access

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond within one month of receiving your request.

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

Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you can 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 can request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain situations, such as while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.

Right to Data Portability

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

Right to Object

You can object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests or public interest grounds.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have rights related to automated decision making and profiling. We do not currently make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases we rely on 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 those of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those interests.

Data Protection Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure security of your personal data, including:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Access controls and authentication procedures
• Staff training on data protection
• Data minimisation practices
• Regular review of data processing activities

International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process data within the United Kingdom. If we need to transfer data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.

Data Breach Procedures

In the event of a personal data breach, we will:

• Notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours where required
• Notify affected individuals without undue delay if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms
• Document all breaches and remedial actions taken
