GDPR Compliance

Your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you control over how your personal data is used. This page explains your rights and how to exercise them.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that came into effect on 25 May 2018. It strengthens data protection for individuals within the EU and European Economic Area (EEA), and applies to any organisation that processes personal data of EU/EEA residents, regardless of where the organisation is based.

Your Rights Under GDPR

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

1. Right to be Informed

You have the right to know what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and who we share it with. This information is provided in our Privacy Policy.

2. Right of Access

You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. This includes information about how we process your data. We will respond to your request within one month.

3. Right to Rectification

If the data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that we correct it. We will respond within one month.

4. Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

In certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data. This applies when:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected
  • You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
  • You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
  • The data has been unlawfully processed
  • Erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation

5. Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your data while we investigate a concern you have about how we process it. During this time, we can store the data but not use it.

6. Right to Data Portability

You can request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transmit this data to another organisation.

7. Right to Object

You can object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we must stop.

8. Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. You can request human intervention, express your point of view, and contest the decision.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under GDPR, please contact us using the details below. We will need to verify your identity before processing your request.

We aim to respond to all requests within one month. Complex requests may take longer, in which case we will inform you of the delay.

What Information We Request

When you make a data subject request, we may ask for:

  • Proof of identity (such as a copy of a passport or driving licence)
  • Details of the specific request
  • Any relevant dates or reference numbers

This helps us verify your identity and respond accurately to your request.

Our Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we must have a legal basis for processing personal data. Our legal bases are:

  • Consent: Where you have given explicit consent for specific purposes
  • Contract: Where processing is necessary to fulfil a contract with you
  • Legal Obligation: Where we need to process data to comply with the law
  • Legitimate Interests: Where we have a legitimate interest that does not override your rights

Data Retention

We only keep personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. After that, it is securely deleted or anonymised. Our retention periods consider:

  • Legal requirements to keep records
  • Contractual obligations
  • Business needs
  • Your expectations

Transferring Data Outside the EEA

If we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Explicit consent from you
  • Adequacy decisions by the European Commission

Right to Complain

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data or responded to a data subject request, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
