• 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, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights
• Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject

Your Data Protection Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

Right of Access

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

Right to Rectification

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

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 for which it was collected.

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.

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 the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing 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 or similarly significantly affects you.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your data protection rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. If your request is complex or you have made numerous requests, we may extend this period by a further two months, in which case we will inform you.

Data Security

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

• Encryption of personal data where appropriate
• Regular assessment of our security measures
• Staff training on data protection requirements
• Access controls to limit who can view personal data

International Transfers

We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom. If any transfer is necessary, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
