10) Rights

The UK GDPR gives you as an individual (a Data Subject) certain rights as to how your data is processed and controlled. 

You can ask us to stop processing your data. We will retain a copy of this data until you ask us to delete it or the data reaches the limits of our retention policy.

We do not carry out any automated decision making or profiling.
You may withdraw your consent previously given, for example where we send you email marketing you can easily unsubscribe. 

The full list of right are:
•         The right of access: You can request access to your personal data (known as “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. 
•         The right to rectification: This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
•         The right to erasure: This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
•         The right to restrict processing You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
• If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
• Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
• Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
•         The right to data portability: You have the right to ask that we transfer data collected by us from one organisation to another, or to give the data to you. This right only applies where we are processing data based on your consent or the data we process is by automated means. 
•         The right to object: You can object to our processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
•         Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
