Your GDPR Rights

Right to Access

You have the right to request copies of your personal data. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded or excessive.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which 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
  • Erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request transfer of your personal data to another organisation, or directly to you, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. We do not currently engage in automated decision-making of this nature.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, contact us at [email protected] with the following information:

  • Your full name and contact information
  • A description of the right you wish to exercise
  • Specific details about your request
  • Proof of identity (if required 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 we will inform you of any such extension.

Data Protection Measures

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

  • Encryption of personal data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Staff training on data protection principles
  • Incident response procedures

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a 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 relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required by law.

International Data Transfers

When we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Adequacy decisions recognising equivalent data protection in the destination country
  • Binding corporate rules

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country of residence, place of work, or where an alleged infringement occurred.

Updates to GDPR Compliance

We regularly review our GDPR compliance procedures and update them as necessary to reflect changes in law or our business practices. Material changes will be communicated through our website.
