You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond to such requests within 30 days and provide the information free of charge in most circumstances.

Right to Rectification

If you believe any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will address rectification requests promptly.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you may request deletion of your personal data when there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.

Right to Restrict Processing

In certain circumstances, you may request that we limit how we use your data while concerns are investigated or resolved.

Right to Data Portability

Where technically feasible, you may request that your personal data be provided to you or transferred to another organisation in a structured, commonly used format.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

We primarily process data within the United Kingdom. If data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in compliance with data protection regulations.
