Your privacy rights
You have several rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. These rights are designed to give you transparency, control and assurance over how your information is used. 1. Right of Access You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. In some situations, we may need to limit the information we provide if disclosure would impact the privacy of others, breach legal restrictions, or reveal confidential business information. 2. Right to Rectification If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct or update it. We will do so as quickly as possible, subject to any legal obligations or restrictions. 3. Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”) You can ask us to delete your personal data in the following situations: •The data is no longer needed for the purpose we collected it. •You previously gave consent and now withdraw it (where consent was the legal basis). •You object to our processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest. •The data has been processed unlawfully. In some cases, we may need to retain certain information even after you request deletion—such as where we must comply with legal, regulatory, tax, or contractual obligations. 4. Right to Restrict Processing You can ask us to limit how we use your data if: •You believe the data is inaccurate. •You believe the processing is unlawful. •We no longer need the data, but you require it for a legal claim. •You have objected to the processing, and we are considering your request. When processing is restricted, we will store your data securely but will not otherwise use it unless legally permitted (e.g., for legal claims or where you have given consent). 5. Right to Object You can object at any time to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis. If you object to processing for direct marketing, we will always honour that request immediately. For other types of processing, we will assess whether our legitimate interests override your rights and freedoms. 6. Right to Data Portability You have the right to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format. You can also request that we transfer this data to another organisation. This right applies only where the processing is: •based on your consent, or •necessary for a contract, and •carried out by automated means.
