We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases we rely upon include:
Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights.
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. This privacy information is provided through our Privacy Policy and this GDPR notice.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond to valid requests within one month.
You have the right to request that inaccurate personal data be corrected or incomplete data be completed. We will respond to requests for rectification within one month.
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent.
You have the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing pending verification of legitimate grounds.
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 where processing is based on consent or contract.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
You have rights relating to automated decision making and profiling. We do not currently make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects concerning you.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. There is no fee for most requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include:
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Specific retention periods depend on the type of data and the purpose of processing.
We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where international transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
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 the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.
Our services are not directed at children under the age of eighteen. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from children.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:
