What is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection
Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating
to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in
particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you
that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information
such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious
information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other
online identifiers.
5.
What Are
My Rights?
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which I will
always work to uphold:
a)
The right to be informed about my collection and
use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you
need to know, but you can always contact me to find out more or to ask any
questions using the details in Part 15.
b)
The right to access the personal data I hold
about you. Part 13 will tell you how to do this.
c)
The right to have your personal data rectified
if any of your personal data held by me is inaccurate or incomplete. Please
contact me using the details in Part 15 to find out more.
d)
The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask
me to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that I have.
Please contact me using the details in Part 15 to find out more.
e)
The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the
processing of your personal data.
f)
The right to object to me using your personal
data for a particular purpose or purposes.
g)
The right to data portability. This means that,
if you have provided personal data to me directly, I am using it with your
consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using
automated means, you can ask me for a copy of that personal data to re-use with
another service or business in many cases.
h)
Rights relating to automated decision-making and
profiling. I do not use your personal data in this way.
For more information about my use of your personal data or
exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact me using the details
provided in Part 15.
Further information about your rights can also be obtained
from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice
Bureau.

personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information
Commissioner’s Office.

How Can I Control My Personal Data?
11.1
In addition to your rights under the GDPR, set

personal data via My Site, you may be given options to restrict my use of your personal
data. In particular, I aim to give you strong controls on my use of your data
for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving
emails from me which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in my
emails and at the point of providing your details.
11.2
You may also wish to sign up to one or more of
the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service
(“the TPS”), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (“the CTPS”), and the
Mailing Preference Service (“the MPS”). These may help to prevent you receiving
unsolicited marketing. Please note, however, that these services will not
prevent you from receiving marketing communications that you have consented to
receiving.

Can I Withhold Information?
You may access My Site without providing any personal data at

How Can I
Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data I have about you, you
can ask me for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any
such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent
to the email address shown in Part 15. There is not normally any charge for a
subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’
(for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover my
administrative costs in responding.
I will respond to your subject access request within one month
of receiving it. Normally, I aim to provide a complete response, including a
copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however,
particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a
maximum of three months from the date I receive your request. You will be kept
fully informed of my progress.
