Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to know how your personal data is being used. We provide this information through our Privacy Policy and this GDPR page.

Right of Access

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will respond within one month.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including:

  • The data is no longer necessary for its original purpose
  • You withdraw consent (where consent was the legal basis)
  • You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
  • The data was processed unlawfully

Note: We may need to retain certain data for legal or safeguarding purposes.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your data while we verify its accuracy, consider your objection to processing, or where processing is unlawful but you don't want deletion.

Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
