Lawful Basis for Processing

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

• Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as receiving communications about our services.
• Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests, rights, or freedoms.

Your Rights Under GDPR

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

Right of Access

You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, where we do, to request access to that data. We will provide a copy of your personal data free of charge, though we may charge a reasonable fee for additional copies or manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete. 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 where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of your data or where processing is unlawful but you do not want the data erased.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance, where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where processing is based on legitimate interests. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you. We do not currently engage in such automated decision-making.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the details above. We will respond to your request within one month. In certain circumstances, we may extend this period by two further months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.

We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information or exercise your other rights.

Data Protection Impact Assessments

Where processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments to identify and minimise data protection risks.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

International Data Transfers

Where we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities or adequacy decisions.

Complaints

If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):

Information Commissioner's Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire SK9 5AF
Website: ico.org.uk

We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance.
