Your Rights Under UK GDPR

The UK GDPR provides you with specific rights regarding your personal data:

1. Right to Be Informed

You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. This is outlined in our Privacy Policy.

2. Right of Access

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a "subject access request." We will provide you with a copy of your data free of charge within one month of your request.

3. Right to Rectification

If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it.

4. Right to Erasure

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

• The data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected
• You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
• You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The data has been unlawfully processed

5. Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

6. Right to Data Portability

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.

7. Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

8. Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have rights regarding automated decision-making and profiling. We do not currently use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us:

Email: [email protected]
Address: 42 Marylebone Lane, London, W1U 2NT, United Kingdom

Please include the following information in your request:

• Your full name
• Your contact details
• A clear description of your request
• Proof of identity (for security purposes)

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 any such extension.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We only process personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so. Our lawful bases include:

• Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
• Contract: Processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract
• Legal obligation: Processing is necessary for us to comply with the law
• Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests

Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

• Pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data where appropriate
• Ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems
• Regular testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures
• Processes for regularly testing and evaluating security measures

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay. We will also notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required by law.

Data Protection Impact Assessments

We conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments for any processing activities that are likely to result in high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms.

International Data Transfers

Your personal data is primarily stored and processed within the United Kingdom. If we transfer your data outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

• Standard contractual clauses approved by the ICO
• Adequacy decisions recognising that a country provides an adequate level of protection
• Binding corporate rules

Consent Withdrawal

Where we rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Complaints

If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:

Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
