Your Rights

Under the DPA you have the following rights:

• to obtain access to, and copies of, the personal data that we hold about you;
• to require that we cease processing your personal data if the processing is causing you damage or distress ;
• to require us not to send you marketing communications.

Since the GDPR came into force in May 2018, you also have the following additional rights:

• to require us to correct the personal data we hold about you if it is incorrect;
• to require us to erase your personal data;
• to require us to restrict our data processing activities (and, where our processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent, without affecting the lawfulness of our processing based on consent before its withdrawal);
• to receive from us the personal data we hold about you which you have provided to us, in a reasonable format specified by you, including for the purpose of you transmitting that personal data to another data controller;
• to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to any of our particular processing activities where you feel this has a disproportionate impact on your rights.

Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply or where there is a legitimate interest in continuing this processing.

If you have given your consent, where that is the legal basis of our processing, and you wish to withdraw it, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details set out below. Please note that where our processing of your personal data relies on your consent and where you then withdraw that consent, we may not be able to provide all or some aspects of our services to you and/or it may affect the provision of those services.
