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 request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how we process it.
Right to Rectification
If you believe that any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it.
Right to Erasure
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data. This may apply where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify its accuracy or consider an objection you have raised.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for continued processing.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
We do not currently use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
