Your Rights Under GDPR

The GDPR provides you with specific rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to be informed about how we collect and use your personal data. This information is provided in our Privacy Policy and this GDPR page.

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a "subject access request". We will respond to your request within one month.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. We will respond within one month.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which 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.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, 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 for direct marketing purposes or when processing is based on legitimate interests.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects or significantly affects you. We do not currently use automated decision-making processes.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Contract: Processing necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract
  • Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms
  • Legal Obligation: Processing necessary for compliance with a legal obligation

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Our retention periods are:

  • Client records: 6 years after the end of the business relationship
  • Marketing preferences: Until you withdraw consent
  • Website analytics: 26 months
  • Enquiry data (non-clients): 2 years

Data Security

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

  • Encryption of personal data where appropriate
  • Regular testing and evaluation of security measures
  • Staff training on data protection
  • Access controls to limit data access to authorised personnel

International Data Transfers

Where we transfer personal data outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or adequacy decisions.

Data Breaches

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will also notify you directly.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your 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 multiple requests, we may extend this period by up to two months, in which case we will inform you.

There is no fee for exercising your rights in most cases. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded or excessive, or we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

Complaints

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data or your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office:

Information Commissioner's Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
