We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis under GDPR Article 6:
GDPR grants you comprehensive rights regarding your personal data:
You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data. We will provide this information in a commonly used electronic format.
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
You may request deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, when you withdraw consent, or when you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds.
You may request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify data accuracy or assess legitimate grounds for processing.
You may request that we transfer your data to another organization or provide it to you in a structured, machine-readable format.
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
We do not currently use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects concerning you.
To exercise any of your data protection rights, please submit a request to [email protected]. Include sufficient information to help us identify you and specify which right you wish to exercise.
We will respond to your request within one month. In complex cases, we may extend this period by two additional months and will inform you of the extension.
We do not charge a fee for processing rights requests unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
We process personal data for the following purposes:
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined or as required by law:
We primarily process data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer data outside the UK or European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
In the event of a data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay. We will also notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach when required by GDPR.
If you believe we have not handled your data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection:
