6. What Is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, “the Data Protection Legislation”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.

In simpler terms, personal data is any information about you that enables you to be identified. This includes obvious information such as your name and contact details, as well as less obvious information like identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

7. What Are My Rights?

Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

8. The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us for further details using the information in Part 2.

9. The right to access the personal data we hold about you.

10. The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us using the details in Part 2.

11. The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any personal data that we hold. Please contact us using the details in Part 2.

12. The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.

13. The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.

14. The right to withdraw consent. This means that if we are relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.

15. The right to data portability. This means that if you have provided personal data to us directly, and we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract (processed using automated means), you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.

16. Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed.

Further information about your rights can be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves, so please contact us first using the details in Part 2.
