Lawful Basis for Processing

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

  • Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as receiving marketing communications.
  • Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
  • Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
  • Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

Your Rights Under GDPR

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information within one month of receiving a valid request.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected or when you withdraw consent.

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.

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.

Right to Object

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

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you. We do not currently use automated decision-making processes.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please 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 a further two months, and we will inform you of any such extension.

We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure we are releasing information to the correct person.

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against:

  • Unauthorised or unlawful processing
  • Accidental loss, destruction, or damage

These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.

International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process personal data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.

Data Breach Procedures

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to individuals, we will also notify affected individuals without undue delay.

If you are dissatisfied with how we have handled your personal data or any privacy matter, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
