Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data under one or more of the following lawful bases:

  • Consent: You have given clear permission for processing of your personal data for a specific purpose
  • Contract: Processing is necessary for fulfilling our contractual obligations to you
  • Legal obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable law
  • Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided this does not override your rights and freedoms

Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data.

Right to Rectification

You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right to Erasure

In certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your personal data, including when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You may request that we limit processing of your personal data in specific situations.

Right to Data Portability

You may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller.

Right to Object

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

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects concerning you.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. If your request is complex or we receive multiple requests, we may extend this period by two additional months, but will inform you of any such extension.

Data Security

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
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Staff training on data protection obligations
  • Confidentiality agreements with third-party processors

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

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. When determining retention periods, we consider:

  • The nature and sensitivity of the data
  • The purposes for which we process the data
  • Applicable legal or regulatory retention requirements
  • The potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure

International Transfers

When personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by regulatory authorities
  • Adequacy decisions confirming appropriate data protection levels
  • Other legally recognised transfer mechanisms

Third-Party Processing

Where we engage third-party service providers to process personal data on our behalf, we ensure they provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures. All such processors are bound by data processing agreements that comply with GDPR requirements.

Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal data violates data protection law.
