8. Your Rights regarding your Data

In this section we have summarised the rights that you have under Data Protection legislation. Some of the rights are complex, apply only in certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, and in the interests of keeping this policy concise, not all details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the Regulatory Authorities for a full explanation of these rights.

You have the right:

  1. To access the information we hold about you and certain information about our processing of it and your rights in relation to it.
  2. In certain circumstances, to obtain erasure of the personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions.
  3. To rectify the information we hold about you.
  4. In certain circumstances, to restrict our processing of your personal information or object to us processing it. If you object, we will stop processing your personal information unless certain exceptions apply.
  5. Where our legal basis for processing your personal information is your consent or the performance of a contract and we process it by automated means, to be provided with the personal information we hold about you in structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit the information to another controller.
  6. To not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly affecting you, subject to certain exceptions.
  7. Where our processing of your personal information is based on your consent, to withdraw that consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent, we will stop the relevant processing, but it will not affect the lawfulness of our processing before the withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights please email or write to us at the addresses provided in section ‘1. Your Privacy’.

If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do this in the state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. More information about lodging a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (the relevant UK supervisory authority) can be found at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint
